Laser engraved pens (click to expand!)

Today we etched some laser engraved pens for a customer’s specific design! The process was made easy by using the Cobalt 1000 YAG laser etcher.

The customer sent us specific artwork for the etching on the pen. We started by using a vector image, with that image we then set the YAG laser etcher on high power using 9 wats. To clean up the image we did a second pass over the pens using only 4 watts.

Laser engraved pens are a great way for any business to promote themselves. Pens are more exciting than a plain business card with your company information on it, not to mention you get more use out of a pen. Distribute the laser engraved pens to any potential customer and watch as your sales increase!

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.
