A Soltau Model RVS 250-AS-STS microtunneling machine with a slurry spoil removal system was selected on a lease arrangement to install the 24-in. sewer line. A mixed face cutting head configuration was selected in anticipation of the varying ground conditions. The unit is supplied with high pressure water jets which have proven effective in boring through dense clays. The RVS 250-AS-STS involves two new innovations. First, it utilizes a state-of-the-art laser guidance system coupled with a completely digital operator control panel with continuous, up-to-date information on the tunneling process. A data logger, which can record data at specific time intervals or length of pipe jacked, also provides for a permanent record of the operation. 1, record 1, English, - microtunneling%20machine

A laser is a unit that produces a high intensity beam of light. This can be focused i. e. the power density increased, to melt materials. The anilox laser engraver uses this principle but controls the laser and the position of the beam to produce accurately positioned cells. The fine control of the laser allows for screens up to 3475 1/cm and depth down to 4 microns... 2, record 2, English, - anilox%20laser%20engraver

En première mondiale au salon drupa 2004, HELL avait dévoilé le prototype d'un graveur au laser qui est le premier au monde à créer directement des alvéoles sur une surface cuivrée ou chromée. Les différentes possibilités de contrôle du laser permettent la création d'alvéoles dont la profondeur et les profils peuvent être largement définis à volonté et indépendamment les unes des autres. 3, record 2, French, - machine%20%C3%A0%20graver%20%C3%A0%20laser
