Laser engravers are fast and reliable

Each machine has four axes of linear motion plus an additional rotary axis, so virtually any design can be engraved onto any shape of workpiece.
Cutting-edge US-developed Xenetech laser engraving machines are now available in the UK through Unimatic.
Xenetech has built its reputation on creating best in class high speed and ultra-high-speed, engraving systems, with many of its offerings able to engrave at up to 150 inches per second.
And recognising that speed is only one element in overall productivity, it uses high specification subsystems and components to ensure high reliability and minimum maintenance downtime.
Unimatic is supplying several models from the Xenetech range, including the 13 x 25in XLT and XLE 1325 and the larger 24 x 36in XLT and XLE 2436.
These all feature touchscreen controls which provide job-preview displays, real time control of travel speed and laser power, and instantaneous diagnostics.
Other features include easy fit high performance optics, field changeable tube design, multiple auto-focus options, generously specified motion and bearing systems and a robust housing designed for easy maintenance and long life.
Each machine has four axes of linear motion plus an additional rotary axis, so virtually any design can be engraved onto any shape of workpiece.
"These Xenetech engraving systems so robustly built that they will quickly become recognised here, as they already are in the home market, as workhorses for all industries and applications", says Unimatic MD Martin Stevens.
"But their robustness belies their standard redefining performance; few machines can get anywhere near 150in/s, and none has the user friendliness of the Xenetech touchscreen".
"We are very excited about the prospect of introducing this technology to British industry".
"We also see it as an ideal purchase for educational and training establishments, where heavy usage and minimum maintenance are common and where its simple programming will allow instant switching from one student's project to the next".
The XLE units can engrave at up to 75in/s and is available in 10, 25, 30, 40, 60, 80 and 100W laser models.
Their motion systems are based on custom-wound stepper motors.
Up to 80W they are air cooled, while the most powerful is water cooled.
The XLTs are available in the same powers and cooling configurations, and provide the ultra high speed performance of 150in/s through the use of a 614W servomotor on the critical x-axis.
