Laser marker is gentle with delicate substrates
Laser marking machine is suitable for a wide range of applications and, in particular, facilitates the rapid removal of coated layers from delicate substrates without damage.
Products range from the ground breaking Raptor EF Technology laser, the Scorpion fibre laser, the Razor CO2 laser, and the Cobra V-12/20 Nd:Vanadate laser.
The company prides itself on retaining total control over all the design, development, manufacture, and support processes associated with the delivery of effective manufacturing solutions.
This tradition guarantees customers a single point of reference and no abrogation of responsibility in the event of either pre-sales queries or after sales support.
Crucially this ownership of the full product life cycle extends to the construction of the software used to create the mark and control the laser.
Electrox has invested over 60-man years in perfecting its unique proprietary Windows based marking software application.
Howard Moore, general manager of Electrox, said: "We have always been at the forefront of developments in laser marking and will continue to be so.
The Electrox range of laser marking systems has been created to address the widest range of materials with a choice of easy to use, industrial systems.
Laser marking has changed out of all recognition during the last decade." Moore said that the actual price, size and power requirements of a laser marking system have fallen substantially: "For instance the power requirements have fallen by up to 75% whilst marking speeds have doubled.
A system is now around half the cost it was four years ago, giving a substantially reduced cost of ownership and making laser marking accessible to a far larger range of companies than ever before." Electrox has over 2,000 current installations, in over 40 countries.
The customer base is truly world-wide with customers in North America, Europe, Asia and the Far East.
Industries served include automotive, computer key boards, tooling, plastic products, electronics components, mobile phone key pads, medical devices and giftware.
A world-leader in the design, development and manufacture of laser marking systems, Electrox was founded in the early 1970s by two innovative entrepreneurs and was the first to commercialise a compact fast axial flow CO2 laser.
In 1986 it was acquired by the 600 Group and in 1990 it acquired the laser business of Cincinnati Milacron.
It is enjoying substantial growth world-wide, particularly in North America where it is currently implementing a strategy of opening new regional offices in order to provide applications development, sales and support closer to the customer. Request a free brochure from Electrox ...
