14 years sound like Epilog Eclipse.

It is an LMI dual lens 100 watt laser. Quite large. The table is approximately 14"x36". It only does raster cuts, because the table only moves left to right and back. What I find totally frustrating is that I cannot cut items out in any material more solid that a heavy-duty stencil. Yet I can do quite deep engravings. I have tried slowing the table way, way down, and I've tried multiple cuts. I still can't even cut light-weight cardboard. Any ideas.

Thank you. LMI. That was the name I couldn't remember.

If memory serves (I think it does) before they began using a PC to run the system, it was strictly designed to scan B&W artwork, (with an electric eye) on one side of the machine, while the laser beam duplicated the artwork on the other.

Very similar to the way the mechanical photolathes worked, except much faster.

Are you sure the machine's 14 years old? I think it may be much older than that.

Dave,

You are thinking of the original LMI. When Epilog and ULS "eliminated" the sales of that machine, LMI introduced a machine to attempt to compete but it was too little too late and they didn't do much with it.

Newing-Hall distributed it for a year or so and them M&R picked up distribution and sold it to their rubber stamp people. As ladycutter describes, it was a strange looking, roll top that was on the market for a total of about 5 years.

Roy,

Now that you mention it, I do remember that roll-top model.

I thought it looked kind of space-age. :-)
