ECLIPSE® LASER SYSTEMS
Precision laser cleaning.
Built around the anilox roll.
Recover usable cell volume. Support consistent ink transfer and coat weights. Bring controlled laser cleaning into your maintenance routine.
One patented circular scan technology. Two ways to put it to work: a dedicated off-press cabinet or a portable system configured around your press.
THE REASON TO CLEAN
Clean the cell. Protect the roll.
Recover usable cell volume
Clear dried ink, adhesive and coating from the cells so the roll can carry and transfer material more consistently.
Support consistent coat weights
Make cleaning repeatable
FIND YOUR ECLIPSE
Choose the setup. Keep the precision.
Start with how your rolls are handled and where cleaning needs to happen.
R2000
A dedicated station. A repeatable routine.
Bring automated laser cleaning into a fully enclosed cabinet. A practical fit for removable rolls and a centralized maintenance area.
- Enclosed Class 1 system
- Automatic roll measurement and saved settings
- Touchscreen controls with monitored cleaning cycles
Portable
Bring laser cleaning directly to your roll.
Reach large, heavy or hard-to-remove rolls with a traverse and support structure configured around your press and working space.
- Adaptable on-press or off-press setup
- Application-specific traverse and supports
- Class IV system with controlled work-area requirements
PATENTED CIRCULAR SCAN TECHNOLOGY
Why the scan
pattern matters.
The way laser energy reaches the roll matters as much as the laser itself.
A conventional linear scan travels back and forth across a narrow line. Where the beam slows, reverses or overlaps, energy can become concentrated.
The patented Eclipse scan moves in a circular pattern as the roll rotates. This controlled movement distributes the laser energy across the surface and prevents the localized hot spots associated with repeated linear overlap.
Our circular scanning spreads laser energy across a controlled path for consistent cleaning without hot-spot damage.
SIDE BY SIDE
Which system fits your operation?
Both systems use a 50-watt laser and patented circular scanning. The main difference is how they fit into your maintenance process.
| R2000 | Portable Laser System | |
|---|---|---|
| Where cleaning happens | Dedicated off-press cabinet | On-press or configured off-press station |
| Best fit | Removable rolls and a centralized cleaning routine | Heavy, wide or hard-to-remove rolls |
| Roll handling | Roll is loaded into the enclosure | On-press setup eliminates roll removal and transport |
| Laser classification | Class 1 Fully enclosed during normal operation |
Class IV Controlled area, appropriate eyewear and operating procedures |
| Published roll capacity | 4–10″ diameter · up to 70″ length | 4–10″ diameter · up to 110″ length |
| Electrical supply | 240V | 110V |
| Approximate cleaning speed | 2–6 inches per minute* | 2–6 inches per minute* |
*Speed varies with roll diameter, contamination and selected settings. ARCS will confirm roll dimensions, installation requirements and application fit.
Built Around Your Work
Different presses.
Different residues.
The same goal.
From a dedicated cleaning area to a roll that stays on the press, the right Eclipse setup starts with your application. ARCS evaluates the roll, residue, available space and cleaning routine to help establish a practical configuration and process.

BEYOND THE EQUIPMENT
Backed by people
who know rolls.
ARCS has been cleaning rolls since 1985. That practical experience informs equipment selection, application review and ongoing support.
Application review
Start with the roll, contamination and production environment to identify the right system and setup.

Did You Know?
Did you know that our patented circular laser technology is being used in Paris to restore the legendary Notre-Dame Cathedral back to its former glory following the fire that gutted it in 2019? Watch this report to see how our safe & effective laser technology can be used on something as precious as a centuries-old monument like Notre-Dame.
The same tech has been trusted to clean a 3,500-year-old Egyptian monolith as well as the legendary marble lions outside the New York City Public Library.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
A few other things to know:
Do both systems use the same cleaning technology?
Yes. Both use a 50-watt laser and patented circular scanning. The R2000 provides an enclosed off-press process, while the Portable system is configured around the press or an off-press station.
Can Eclipse help with inconsistent coat weights?
Removing contamination helps recover usable cell volume and supports more consistent transfer. Actual coat weights also depend on your coating, roll condition and process settings. A demonstration can help evaluate the cleaning results for your roll.
Does laser cleaning require chemicals or media?
Eclipse cleaning uses no blast media or liquid cleaning chemicals. Filtered extraction collects the material removed from the roll, and filters require maintenance as part of normal operation.
What is the difference in laser safety requirements?
The R2000 is a fully enclosed Class 1 system during normal operation with its safety systems functioning. The Portable is Class IV and requires trained personnel, controlled access, appropriate laser safety eyewear and application-specific procedures. ARCS reviews the requirements for your installation.
How do I find out which system fits my rolls?
Send ARCS your roll dimensions, residue information and maintenance requirements. For on-press cleaning, include the press model and photos of the roll location so the team can evaluate access and support options.
