Description

S.K. Grimes is equipped with both FiberMark and CO2 laser etching and cutting equipment.

CO2 Lasers are the industry workhorse when cutting and surface etching are required. Our 120w laser cuts and engraves card stock, matt board, chipboard, acrylic, wood and delrin to name a few. And with a 36″x48″ table top, the laser can handle a large range of size material.

Our FiberMark Laser gives us the capacity to add our company logo and technical information to the parts we manufacture. A fiber laser is a newer laser technology compared to the Co2 lasers that have been around for decades. This laser works great at permanently marking anodized aluminum or cutting deep enough to make indented information on our aluminum and steel pieces before the finishing process.

There are additional uses for the fiber laser that we have found. The fiber laser also has the right power levels to mark the delrin we create our lens caps with. The marking is permanent and comes out as flat grey on a glossy black surface. Also, the fiber laser works well at cutting through cardboard and paperboard. We can create detail decals and shaped cardboard cut outs. The magnetic sheets that are featured in on steel negative carriers are cut out on our laser, ensuring a perfect edge and exact sizing.

All Copal 1 scales are now made with our laser etcher. The laser provides more noticeable markings and allows for deeper customization.

Both of our lasers are equipped with rotary table capabilities for cylindrical components.
