Zecher upgrades laser engraving technology

In the first half of 2017, the company has increased its order value by 10 percent compared to last year. This increase in the number of orders, as well as growing customer requirements, has necessitated the anilox roll manufacturer to extend its capacities and technologies within the area of laser engraving. To achieve this, two laser engraving systems will be brought completely up to date through upgrades this year. In addition, Zecher will also install a new system that is fitted with all up-to-date hardware and software options.

Rüdiger Wand, Zecher managing director, said: ‘The technology implemented for this allows us to manufacture a much wider range of specifications. The investment also opens up a higher production flexibility and faster turnaround times for us.’

2017 has seen Zecher add cleaning products to its offer and invest in laser cleaning technology to facilitate regular deep cleaning of operational anilox rollers.
