3. F 6000 Both imagesetters can produce plate As floor space is often at a premium the good news is that ready film for all popular press sizes with minimal film Fujifilm have managed to achieve a footprint of only 2 2m wastage in positive and negative mode Luxel F 9000 and 1 4m Luxel 6000 which coupled with design features such as the counter balanced film cassette access door and direct daylight film loading means it uses up less working floorspace and isflexible enough to fit In order to create this breakthrough Fujifilm s engineers had to overcome the problems of maintaining the integrity of two or more parallel laser beams when they are projected on to a spinning mirror in the centre of an imagesetter drum Under normal circumstances and without special processing the laser beams would tend to tangle as they reflected off the mirror The implementation of Fujifilm patented AOD Acousto Optic Deflector technology keeps the lasers perfectly aligned by controlling the refractive index of elements in the lasers paths laser sub assembly is located above the C drum and contains one two or three separate lasers each laser is carefully aligned and calibrated The beams pass through a series of lenses mirrors and prisms and exit through the main lens prism unit at the end of the laser sub assembly housing The beams are reflected twice to hit the spinning mirror which travels the length of
