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 6, English, - anilox%20laser%20engraver
