The BASIC series units are engraving laser system complete with a 2 axis galvanometer scan head, equipped with a sealed Co2 laser source (from 10 to 300 watts) and used in applications for engraving, cutting and drilling such materials as plastics in general, wood, corozo (vegatal ivory), leather and all natural materials, paper/cardboard, polyester, anodised or painted materials, glass, marble, granite, ceramic, mother-of-pearl, bones, cloth in general etc.
Thanks to its ease of use, high quality, speed and flexibility, it offers unique possibilities of application. Increasing the number of low/medium thickness materials like wood, paper. leather. and cloth, on which combined processings can be made, both cutting/drilling and engraving.
The possobility to use even high-power lasers allows to extend such processings to thin aluminium as well.
Easy fitting in automatic lines.

With Polaris you can reach very high engraving velocities, so that you can use it in large-volume industrial productions such as, for instance, packing lines (production lot codes, source tracking, expiring and production dates, etc.).
And thanks to its ease of use it can be also used for small-scale productions, where a high degree of flexibility is required as regards the processing of each single production lot. In fact it is possible to modify on-line captions, logos, and laser parameters to fit the different types of material to be processed.
