Laser engraver marks on metals and plastics

Laser engraving specialist, Gravograph has launched a solution for marking on metals and plastics: the LS100EX YAG.

Made up of a platform that can house an object with a maximum volume of 610 x 305 x 145mm, coupled with a YAG 12W source, Gravograph is designed to mark hard or reflecting materials (black or stainless steel, etc) as well as classic materials. The LS100EX YAG is aimed at applications involving personalisation of objects (business gifts, trophies, etc) and technical marking applications for industrial parts (tools, name plates, instrumentation, metal parts, etc). The laser technology featured in the LS100 EX YAG solution can be used to mark a range of materials (ABS, aluminium, black or stainless steel, precious metals, etc). Its large work area can house bulky objects such as holder trays on which the operator places parts in shaped recesses for concurrent engraving. It is controlled using the LaserStyle software, an intuitive interface that features automatic composition possibilities such as integration of lists of names and incrementation of numbers, and this makes it a really productive tool. With its maximum marking speed of 2.5 m/s and its front loading design (Front Loading Concept by Gravograph, the only one of its kind on the market), which cuts operating times between batches of parts, this laser engraving unit provides one of the highest machine use levels currently available.
