The problem with laser marking
FAQ: I have a problem with laser marking when the product is marked twice (the product is indicated again after the first indication because of its better contours). The contours of after the second description cycle don´t have the same position as the contours after the first cycle, and therefore are created two contours (instead of one) slightly shifted from each other. -

Is it possible to mark a very fine description or graphic designs with laser?
FAQ: We would need to make relatively difficult shape on duralumin or brass plate with a thickness of 1.5 mm. The shape contains very fine drawing and it really depends on the accuracy and design quality. The size of the shape is about 400 x 110 mm. A local company, which deals with the laser description, said us that laser marking can not be used because it is not possible to divert a beam at such a large area. Is there any other technology providing comparable results like the laser? -
What technology can we choose for the plastic control buttons description?
FAQ: We manufacture measure instruments operating in difficult conditions of industrial production and we have the problem how to describe the plastic buttons. We have tried printing, but that was not sufficiently durable. We have tried engraving, but the marking was not sufficiently clear and also clogged with dirt. Is there an affordable description method without these disadvantages? It is about four different descriptions of buttons, each about 60 pieces a month. -
