Summary for laser engravure machine Discussion
Laser engravure machine for copper cylinders is the core question here: Fakhar Imam of Pakistan asked for a laser engraver for rotogravure printing cylinders and wanted good results. Richard W. Alexander replied that Max Daetwyler Corp. had been working on a laser engraver for years, but copper was found to explode when hit with a laser, forcing development of a new cylinder alloy. He added that this new alloy could not be plated in existing copper tanks. His bottom line was cautious and negative: to his knowledge, no one had successfully developed a laser gravure engraver for copper at that time.

A. Max Daetwyler Corp, Huntersville, North Carolina, has been working on a laser engraver for a number of years.
They found out that copper explodes when hit with a laser, so they had to develop a new cylinder alloy.
Obviously, this new alloy cannot be plated in existing copper tanks. To my knowledge, no one has successfully developed a laser gravure engraver for copper.
