Metal Engravers Engraving Machines
Need a suggestion for metal engravers.?
Hey there. So I sort of need suggestions for an engraving machine, laser or whatever else. Basically I need it to be able to engrave 1-2mm into painted aluminum/zinc-alloy. I'm planning on engraving various things into metals, and all the ones I see are for leather/bamboo/cloth/etc. etc. Any suggestions?
If you need to engrave 1-2mm deep, you can't use a laser. You need a rotary engraver, with a motor and a spinning tool.
Rotary engravers, some work with a pantograph where you lay out the letters as little tiles on a rack and then use a pantograph to make the engraving tool follow a path. Or there are computerized ones now where you program what you want in a computer and the tool follows that.
Laser engravers are all computerized. They come in two kinds (well, actually many kinds, but two main categories), CO2 for soft materials like wood and leather and NdYAG (Neodymium Yttrium Aluminum Garnet) for metal. But for metal they only etch the surface, they don't have any depth. If you have painted metal, either a CO2 or NdYAG laser will burn through the paint. The NdYAG will also engrave the metal beneath.
As it happens, I do this for a living, engraving metal with an NdYAG laser. Maybe if you gave me more detail about what you want to do, I could help you more.

Creating a Cutout on Metal Using a U-MARQ Engraving Machine
Engraved Nameplates And Corporate Signs For Business
Engraving can be applied on almost any surface or material e.g. silver, gold, steel, glass, cooper & plastic plus many other materials and metals.Engraving passé can take on a number of different forms including illustration, writing & numerous.
Traditional engraving, by Burin or by machine is still used today, but with the addition of techniques such as photoengraving & laser.In the past engravers were famous and would produce what can only be described as works of art, this was done using many different techniques which are still enjoyed today.
Now days a high level of microscopic detail can be achieved by using computerised engraving, which in the past would have been near on impossible to produce the traditional tools.
Today engraving machines such as the K500 or K6 use a diamond stylus to cut cells, the K6 has 18 engraving heads each able to cut 8,000 cell per second with an accuracy of 1um. Both machines are controlled by computer.
Engraving using diamonds has become a state of art since the 1960s.
Laser engraving machines are becoming the new tool, but mechanical cutting still has been proven as the best in economical terms & quality.Laser engraving using lasers to engrave or mark an object is a skilled, technical and complex technique. A computer more often than not is programmed to drive the laser head, creating very precise and clean engraving at an extremely high speed, there are no tool bits touching the surface, thus no wearing out, this is a great advantage as other technique's have to have bit head s replaced regularly.With a Laser engraving machines there are three major components, a laser, a controller & a surface. The laser itself is like a pencil - a beam is released and allows the controller to trace patterns onto a surface. The controller, normally a computer controls the direction, depth, speed & spread of the laser beam.
There are three genres of engraving machines, the X –Y table where the material is stationary and the laser moves round in X & Y direction, also the laser can be stationary and the material moves.
The Cylindrical or flat material mounted around a cylinder where the laser traverses a fine helix and on/off laser pulsing creates the desired image on a raster basis.
Lastly both material and laser are stationary and galvo mirrors move the laser beam over the material surface.Material that can be engraved using laser are vast to give an example: Most hard wood and soft wood (not Fur) latex and rubber compounds, plastic's, acrylic, styrene (cd cases) Bakelite, light switch plates.Laser engraving is now also widely used in jewellery making as it can cut both flat and curved surfaces. Stone and Glass is better suited to different forms such as sandblasting, diamond and water. With glass this is due to the surface fracturing, but using a laser successfully can be achieved as long as the power, speed and focus are just right.
One can have an engraved corporate sign displaying a logo and the company name but it should be professionally designed. Sirs Engraving is a master in its field with years of experience in the industry.
