PicoMaster XF 500-H
The ultimate high-speed, large-format, DWL mastering tool for the origination of:
Diffractive 'rainbow' patterns
Fresnel lenses
Fresnel images 'bas relief'
Zero colour 'platinum' patterns and images
Other 2.5D, greyscale, optical micro-structures
The PicoMaster XF-H series is the next generation of mastering systems and the world's first and currently only purpose-built, high-speed, high-resolution, large-format DWL systems for the origination of holograms, diffractive 'rainbow' patterns, Fresnel lenses, Fresnel images, zero-colour 'platinum' patterns and many other types of 2.5D, greyscale, microstructured optical surfaces for premium packaging applications.
The PicoMaster XF 500-H is a turn-key solution to create all kinds of 2.5D, greyscale, seamless, micron and sub-micron scale structured surfaces over large 550 x 550 mm (22" x 22") areas at high speed. The system is supplied with a 405nm laser, 500 nm resolution capability, a high-resolution optical auto-focus system, and PicoHLD, a fully-featured, user-friendly hologram, diffractive pattern, and Fresnel lens design and composition program. The system is also supplied with Sitech's Pattern Generator, a program for the generation of random shape and gradient 'pillars of light' patterns for packaging applications.
