From prepress platemaking to PCB and IC-substrate direct imaging — the key processes for printers, repro houses and electronics fabs.
Technology
Core Technology Pillars
Six proprietary technology pillars give McLantis an unmatched edge in direct imaging, micro-fabrication and production automation.
Sub-micron laser imaging engines
Laser MEMS & Direct Imaging
Our Laser MEMS platform integrates micro-electro-mechanical mirrors, high-stability laser sources and real-time beam shaping to deliver sub-micron direct imaging for PCB, screen and advanced packaging. It is the optical heart of every McLantis LDI and CTS system.
Capabilities
- Sub-micron pixel registration
- Multi-wavelength laser sources (405 / 830 nm)
- MEMS mirror array with <1 µm settling
- Closed-loop thermal & focus stabilization
Applications
- Laser Direct Imaging (LDI) for PCB
- Computer-to-Screen (CTS)
- Advanced packaging & IC substrate
- Semiconductor maskless exposure
Key Specs
Maskless digital photolithography
DLP Digital Exposure Systems
Our DLP digital engine projects millions of micro-mirrors to expose photoresist and screen emulsion without physical masks. Programmable, repeatable and instantly reconfigurable — the foundation of high-throughput CTS and digital platemaking.
Capabilities
- Millions of DMD micro-mirrors
- Maskless, software-defined exposure
- Uniformity correction & grey-scale control
- High-throughput line-scan architecture
Applications
- Computer-to-Screen (CTS)
- Digital plate exposure
- Fine-line stencil & thick emulsion
- Prototyping & short-run exposure
Key Specs
Linear-motor stages at micron accuracy
Precision Motion Control
The McLantis motion platform combines linear-motor stages, granite bases and proprietary servo algorithms to hold micron-level positioning across meter-scale travel — the mechanical backbone that turns optical precision into production yield.
Capabilities
- Linear-motor direct drive
- Granite & active-damped structure
- Sub-micron closed-loop feedback
- Multi-axis real-time synchronization
Applications
- CTP / CTCP drum & flatbed positioning
- LDI stage scanning
- High-speed plate handling & autoload
- Metrology & inspection
Key Specs
Closed-loop chemical supply, filtration & recovery
Chemical Handling Technology
Our chemical handling platform covers precision dosing, filtration, temperature control and closed-loop recovery for plate processing, etching and coating lines. Corrosion-resistant wetted paths and real-time concentration monitoring keep process chemistry stable shift after shift — while cutting consumption and waste.
Capabilities
- Precision metering & dosing pumps
- Corrosion-resistant wetted path (PVDF / PTFE)
- Inline filtration & temperature control
- Concentration monitoring with auto-replenish
Applications
- Plate processor & developer chemistry
- Etching and plating lines
- Coating & emulsion preparation
- Waste chemical recovery & reuse
Key Specs
Drop-on-demand engines with micron drop placement
Inkjet Printing Technology
Our inkjet platform pairs industrial drop-on-demand print heads with precision media transport and closed-loop nozzle monitoring to hold consistent droplet placement across wide-format and single-pass architectures. Software-tuned drive waveforms let one engine run UV, solvent and aqueous inks without hardware changes.
Capabilities
- Industrial drop-on-demand print heads
- Software-tuned drive waveforms
- Nozzle monitoring & auto-recovery
- Drop placement below 0.1 mm
Applications
- Wide-format graphics printing
- Package & label printing
- PCB legend and solder-mask inkjet
- Functional & industrial decoration

Capabilities
- RIP, job setup & imposition workflow
- Real-time machine control & motion planning
- Inline inspection with defect logging
- Open REST / OPC-UA interfaces to MIS & ERP
Applications
- Prepress job routing & automation
- Production traceability & reporting
- Predictive maintenance analytics
- Remote diagnostics & software updates
