Etching on Stainless Steel

The Cobalt 1000 is an extremely powerful and versatile laser engraver and this is why we used it to etch this stainless steel serial tag.

The customer wanted the etched text to be as dark as possible. To do so we used the following settings on the laser: 100 speed, 10 power, .01 hatch and 3 Loops with a frequency of 35 KHz.

After focusing the laser to the plate we manually lowered the laser head in order to get that extra dark marking.
