ECLIPSE® LASER SYSTEMS
R2000 Laser System
Automated Off-Press Cleaning with Built-In Protection
When anilox rolls are cleaned regularly, consistency matters as much as cleaning power. The Eclipse R2000 laser system combines a 50-watt industrial laser, patented circular scanning and automated controls inside a fully enclosed Class 1 cabinet.
Load the roll, select or fine-tune the cleaning settings and start the cycle. The R2000 measures the roll, monitors operating conditions and moves the laser across the surface at a controlled rate. It removes dried ink, adhesives, coatings and other stubborn residue without blast media, liquid chemicals or physical contact with the engraving.
SEE IT IN ACTION
Simple. Safe. Consistent.
From loading the roll to monitoring the cleaning cycle, the R2000 gives pressrooms a simple, controlled process for restoring anilox performance.
PRIMARY ADVANTAGES
A Repeatable Process.
A Roll Ready for Work.
Enclose the Process
A dedicated Class 1 cabinet contains the laser during normal cleaning, bringing protection and process control into one station.
Simplify Repeat Jobs
Clean with Precision
Patented circular scanning removes contamination without abrasive media or harsh chemicals, meaning it is sustainable technology.
Recover Usable Volume
Clearing residue from the cells at a micron level helps restore transfer performance and supports more consistent ink densities and coat weights.
Built for your maintenance routine
Load the Roll. Let the System Guide the Cycle.
The R2000 creates a dedicated place for off-press cleaning. Once the roll is positioned, automated measurement and adjustable parameters help establish the cleaning cycle for that roll and its residue.
The laser traverses the rotating roll at a controlled rate while extraction collects the removed contamination. Operators can follow progress through the viewing windows and on the control panel.
- Load and measure the roll
- Select or recall cleaning settings
- Close the enclosure and run the cycle

Safety by Design
Protection Built
into the System.
The R2000’s enclosed Class 1 design keeps the laser contained during the standard cleaning cycle. Laser safety eyewear is not required for normal operation with the enclosure and safety systems functioning as intended.
Interlocks stop the laser if the lid or door opens. The system also stops laser emission if the roll stops rotating, helping protect both the operator and the roll.

PATENTED CIRCULAR SCAN TECHNOLOGY
The Safest Laser System on the Market
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.

Applications
Make Clean Part of Your Anilox Routine
The R2000 is a practical fit for plants with regular cleaning volume, removable rolls and a centralized maintenance area. It gives your team a consistent off-press process for removing dried inks, coatings, adhesives and stubborn residue.
Recovering usable cell volume helps the roll transfer material more consistently. For printers and converters, that supports repeatable color and more reliable coat weights.
