LONDON (Alliance News) - ProPhotonix Ltd Monday said it had developed a successful prototype of its second high-powered UV fiber-coupled laser diode array system for a computer-to-plate original equipment manufacturer customer, and expects to start shipping production-ready units from the second quarter of this year.
"The laser module's compact size makes them particularly easy to integrate into OEM systems. Our engineers are actively incorporating these technologies for our OEM customers in markets such as semiconductor, industrial inspection, and machine vision where ProPhotonix is well known and has an established client base. Production ready units are expected to begin shipping in the second quarter 2015 and thereafter," Jeremy Lane, ProPhotonix's managing director of laser operations said in a statement.
Computer-to-plate is a print workflow involving the printing of an image from a computer via a single laser, or an array of lasers, directly onto a lithographic plate on a platesetter that is used to transfer the image directly to paper, plastic, or other medium.
