In the market for Laser Engraver

Post by Maytagman »

First off I am a complete newbie when it comes to laser engraving. The company I work for is in the market for a new machine possibly as all of our current engraving is done on a Xenetech engraver. We are in the business of producing Ophthalmology instruments. The material that we would be engraving on is 6Al/4v titanium that is .185-.295 dia, around 4in long, round stock that has been anodized dark blue. Reason for looking at laser machines is first run times, also we are more then likely in the future going to have to put UDI codes on the instruments as well. I've done some google searches but I'm not seeing anything that looks practical for our purposes. We really don't have a budget yet but I would like to find a couple machines to at least start with and go from there to see if they would work for our facility. Would like something that obviously has a rotary axis so we could engrave on 2 different areas on the circumference of the instruments or at least a machine that has that as an option. Also a machine that is user friendly as we would like multiple people to be able to operate and program the machine. Thanks
