Laser Etching Nameplates With the Cobalt 1000 Fiber Laser

October 27th, 2011 | Author: Stephen
The Cobalt1000 fiber laser is an excellent piece of machinery. It is capable of etching very fine detailed images on hard materials such as steel. This versatile laser etcher can easily accommodate custom machine fixtures, similar to the one shown in the video.

In this video a custom name plate fixture is placed into the laser engraving machine. The text on each individual plate is fully customizable. A full fixture is capable of etching 20 name plates in only a minute and a half (that’s about 1000 an hour!)

Laser used in this project:
Type: YAG Fiber Laser w/fixture
Brand: Cobalt 1000

“Appleton Farms” Laser etching on Hammers
