Using its state of the art, micro-precise etching capability, virtually any sort of coding needed by a customer can be engraved onto either individual or batches of seals, anywhere between 20mm and 530mm during their production.
The ability to cost-effectively inscribe seals with such information as part number, size, manufacturing date or batch number will, claims Economos, give its customers advantages such as improved product identification, easier stock control and safer traceability.
Economos say their new laser machine now makes obsolete every current method of marking seals, which invariably uses moulded sealing elements made from hardened tools or dies.
Inevitably, say Economos, these fixed imprinting devices restrict flexibility in marking, with any required coding information having to be imposed on an entire production run.
The compact machine, a combination of PC and laser designed to fit on any standard bench, is capable of inscribing up to 400 seals an hour with whatever information a customer requires.
With increasing regulatory requirements for seals to be certified and appropriately marked as being so, the new Economos laser-inscribing machine will undoubtedly make its mark in industry.
