ZonePro Series
Small Area Laser Processing Machine
The ZonePro series has the ability to add scoring or perforating features within a defined width or "zone" across the flexible packaging material.
Compact Design and Unparalleled Flexibility
Preco offers a complete line of laser modules in a compact and economical configuration called FlashLite™ laser modules. FlashLite laser modules can be integrated over any existing production line, they can also be added to existing material handling structures or a Preco support frame can be included as part of the cost-effective complete laser package. Processing with these modules is based on distance or in registration and they operate in either on-the-fly or intermittent motion.
FlashLite Module Configurations
- FlashLite Web Direction (WD) Fixed head
- FlashLite Web Direction (WD) Fixed head w/Beam Compression
- FlashLite ZonePro (ZP) Two-axis focusing head
- FlashLite Cross Web (CW) Three-axis focusing head
Multiple modules for maximum efficiency.
The FlashLite modules are available in a variety of configurations, including our FlashLite Web Direction (WD) with fixed beam output heads for easy-tear applications, FlashLite WD with beam compression output heads for high-speed micro-perforating, FlashLite ZonePro (ZP) with two-axis focusing heads for laser processing in a narrow bad or width and our FlashLite Cross Web (CW) for shape scoring & cutting processes.
