CST GmbH historical and technical background

1. CST GmbH

Why does every customer benefit from the portfolio range ?

Experience in machine construction,software development,

electronic designing,costs reduction,global network

Same core electronic in all devices

Similar software modules in all devices

Similar or equal drive systems in all devices

For example the unique light source calibrationSystem, which uses integral parts of our scanner technology

Compatibility and possibility to upgrade existing technology

User – friendly interface experienced in several

applications1. CST GmbH

CST GmbH is ISO Certified

Quality management system certification ISO 9001-2008 awarded by the German and worldwide Technical Inspection Association TÜV.

Overview of different available CtS technologies

1. CST GmbH

Laser Engraving since 19922. CtS systems

- ablative CO2 or YAG laser

- remove of rubber, silicone,ceramic, polymer oremulsion by burning itaway with a high powerlaser beam

Overview of different available CtS technologies

1. CST GmbH

Waxjet Imaging since 19962. CtS systems

- creation of a mask- limited resolution- limited capacity- expensive consumable- external exposure

Overview of different available CtS technologies

1. CST GmbH

Inkjet Imaging since 20002. CtS systems

- creation of a mask- limited resolution- limited capacity- less expensive consumable- external exposure- lower investment

Overview of different available CtS technologies

1. CST GmbH

Direct Exposing since 20052. CtS systems

- direct exposing- resolution according request- imaging speed up to 60sqm- no consumable- no retouching- low power consumption
