MAKE YOUR MARK PERMANENT WITH FIRESCAN Firescan, an all in one laser engraving system, is being introduced to UK manufacturers by Finishing Techniques. Whether marking products and components with reference/part numbers, logos, safety information or as a design feature, Firescan reproduces them all flawlessly every time at resolutions up to 1000dpi. The ultra-precise 0.2mm laser beam is controlled from a standard PC running easy to use software that is supplied with the unit. Perfect engraving and markings can be made on single items or batch production. Standard metals, precious metals and even plastics are easy to etch using Firescan. Deep engraving and intricate designs can be performed on flat or curved surfaces without the need for extensive training. Furthermore, all markings are permanent, chemical proof and abrasion proof. Unlike many other systems, Firescan is completely air cooled so there is no need for a water connection. This contributes to low running costs and makes the unit more compact and convenient to locate wherever there is a standard power point. It is safe to use on a desktop or place directly in the manufacturing cell. Firescan is one of a range of quality laser engraving and welding machines made by Siro Lasertech of Germany and available in the UK solely through Finishing Techniques.
