Better for your business
Stork direct laser engraving
systems are the ideal platform
for taking your flexo plate or
rotary screen engraving process
to a higher level. Faster,
more efficient, better quality,
more economical, less environmental
impact: there are
many ways in which our laser
engraving systems can improve
your business. Furthermore,
these systems are com-
pletely digital, and will therefore
provide cutting-edge engraving
well into the future.
Laser engraving, through constant
development and improvement,
is a technology which
time has clearly arrived. There
are a whole host of reasons
why it is preferable to other
engraving methods:
Less process steps
Some conventional processes
require many different steps to
create a flexo-printing form.
With the Stork Morpheus 611X
and Agrios 413X direct laser
engraving systems there is
effectively only one; the laser
engraving itself. This obviously
simplifies and accelerates the
production process.
Faster
The Agrios 413X is the fastest
laser engraver of flexo-printing
forms on the market.
More economical
Consumable use is highly
reduced. Stork laser engraving
machines incorporate a
sealed laser unit, so extra gas
is not required. Naturally, there
is no consumption of U.V.lights,
ink or other chemicals.
And the engraving process
itself requires no water, so
you don't have a 'wet area' in
your production facility.
Better quality
An advanced laser control
system and the precise focus
of the beam leads to more
sharply engraved edges and
extremely fine reproduction of
detail. The Agrios 413X's
patented triple-beam laser
technology can achieved particularly
high levels of accuracy.

otamesh fi
The quality levels achieved
by laser-based units are unparalleled
in flexo engraving.
Reduced chance of error
Laser engraving is a largely
automated process in which
manual handling is reduced
to a minimum. The possibility
of human error is consequently
much lower.
Excellent repeatability
Running repeat orders has
never been easier. As it is a
digital system, you simply
load the appropriate data file
and your system is ready to
engrave. The potential for
errors is virtually zero, and
consistency is guaranteed.
Less environmental impact
No U.V.-light is necessary, so
the process does not produce
any toxic run-off. All in all, the
laser engraving process is
considerably better for the
environment and operator
than traditional chemicalbased
methods.
Easy-to-use
Stork laser engraving
systems are simple to use.
Process data can also be
stored for future use.
Save floorspace
A conventional configuration
would typically include separate
units for UV exposure,
chemical washing, drying and
after exposure. With Stork
direct laser engraving, all
these are replaced by a single
engraving unit, which
requires an average of 30%
less floorspace. Space
savings with the Morpheus
611X are even higher, because
you have a rotary screen
and flexo plate engraver rolled
into one.
Dedicated software for improved
workflow
The Agrios and Morpheus are
supplied with FlexoPOWER
image preprocessing software.
This soft-ware gives the user
unprecedented levels of control
in defining dot shape and
sharpness. The plateau,
image area, shoulder angle,
undercut, relief depth and
base size can be precisely
specified in this powerful yet
easy-to-use package.
Leaders in laser engraving
We were the first company to
introduce laser engraving; a
move that revolutionised the
way screens are engraved.
Today we can call on approximately
two decades of experience
in the development
and manufacture of leading
laser engraving systems such
as the Morpheus 611X and
the Agrios 413X.

Agrios 413X: high-quality and speed
in flexo engraving
The Agrios 413X is the
fastest laser engraver on the
market, and also offers the
best quality. It is a dedicated
engraving unit for flexo material
like rubber and polymer.
The key to the excellent performance
levels is a unique,
patented triple-beam laser
system. Three separate
lasers passed over the plate
in quick succession; the first
creates a shallow track to

define the printing dot, and
the second and third further

result is an extremely welldefined
flexo printing plate,
achieved significantly faster
than with conventional
methods, and in a much
more environmentally friendly
way.

Morpheus 611X: flexo printing forms
and rotary screens form a single unit
The Morpheus 611X gives
you the best of both worlds,
enabling direct laser engraving
of both flexo printingforms
and rotary screen
cylinders from a single unit.
This all-purpose system
engraves rubber and polymer
with great accuracy, using a
single laser beam to define
the dot pattern. And it is also
ideal for engraving Stork
RotaMesh ® screens for narrow-web,
packaging and
security printing, as well as
Stork Special Screens ® for
applications such as textile or
wallcovering printing. The
Morpheus can also be equiped
with an aditional YAGlaser
for LAM-technology.
