Our different techniques for industrial marking
Etilux proposes you different techniques for industrial marking to meet your requirements for signage, identification, etc
Amongst the different marking techniques, we can offer you:
So you can find solutions resitant to different attacks (such as climate, temperatures, chemicals,…) for indoor or outdoor use.
Engraving
Mechanical engraving
Mechanical engraving is a very widespread technique for marking small quantities. It consists in digging into the material (steel, copper,…) with a mill to provide intaglio or relief engraving of your logos, texts, pictograms,…
Advantages:
- Indelible and permanent engraving
- Economical for engraving small
quantities - Possibility to colour the surface
- Intaglio or relief effect
Surfaces
- Metal
- Plexiglas
- Stainless steel
- Copper
- Brass
Chemical etching
Chemical etching occurs by immersion in acid or alkaline baths to enable a permanent intaglio or relief marking with a depth going from 0.05 to 0.2 mm.
Advantages:
- Permanent
- Possibility to colour the surface
- Intaglio or relief effect
Surfaces
- Aluminium
- Stainless steel
- Brass
Laser marking
Laser marking is an industrial engraving technique designed to engrave different materials and objects with a laser beam.
Advantages:
- Permanent durability and quality
- Very high marking precision
- Fixed or variable data marking
- Non-contact marking
- Marking on fixed or
moving objects
Surfaces
- Metal
- Plastic
- Stainless steel
- Steel
- Brass
- Aluminium
- Cast iron
- Ceramic
- Printed boards
- etc
Anodising
Anodising is a marking technique based on the electrolysis principle (10 to 15 µ). Once the areas, that have to stay in relief, have been protected thanks to silkcreen printing, the material is chemically attacked by the electrolysis principle.
Advantages:
- Makes the support resistant to wear,
corrosion and heat - Beautiful colour rendering
Surface
- Aluminium
Embossing
Embossing is a marking technique designed to give relief to texts & logos using a cold deformation technique.
Cutting
Cutting enables to cut materials of big or small thicknesses without deformation or burr.
Advantages:
- Cuts different thicknesses
- No deformation or burr
- Complex forms can be made
- Precision
Printed backings
Silkscreen printing
Silkscreen is a printing technique which can be compared to stencil method.
It consists in creating a negative of the pattern to be printed on a screen mesh and in reproducing this pattern on a flat surface. Then, a protective coating is applied on the pattern. This technique is not suitable for very precise printing
Advantages:
- Long-term colour fastness and quality
- Economical for high volume printing
- Suitable for a lot of surfaces
- Pantone & RAL colours
Surfaces
- Metal
- Plastic
- Wood
- Paper
- Cardboard
- Glass
- Textile
Digital printing
Digital printing is a technique which provides photo quality printing on a wide variety of surfaces.
Advantages:
- Printing for indoor or outdoor use
- Photo quality
- Large format printing
