The new machine can mark and engrave virtually anything, from plastics, wood, and glass to a variety of metals. This state of the art machine gives us the capability to engrave laminated materials down to thicknesses of 0.1mm with an engraving depth of 0.04mm whilst also cutting acrylics up to 40mm thick and marking directly onto aluminium, stainless, brass, anodized aluminium and other materials. The machine gives us the opportunity to brand and personalize products on almost any material specifically for our customers without the need for them to purchase in high volumes. Bespoke machine control panels, warning labels, signage, plaques, metal & adhesive laminated CE plates and labels are just a small part of our capabilities with this recent investment. CE plates can have specific serial numbers and install dates engraved, thereby avoiding the need to try and add them at a later date onto a standard plate - which makes it difficult to maintain its professional appearance. You can choose from a standard format or send your own design idea’s to our marketing department and our designers will work with you to ensure you have a professional looking end product.
