Etching specifications
Maximum part size and supported material
- 300mm x 300mm (if the etching is on the TOP/BOTTOM side)
- 200mm x 200mm(if the etching is on the FRONT/BACK side)
- 200mm x 200mm(if the etching is on the LEFT/RIGHT side)
* Please see the table below for materials and surface treatment.
Material and surface treatment to be etched
Classification | material properties | Surface Treatment |
---|---|---|
Steel |
|
|
Pre-hardened steel | NAK55 or equivalent | No treatment |
Aluminum |
|
|
Stainless steel |
|
No treatment |
*For surface-treated products, the etching process is carried out after surface treatment.
Processing method
- Etching will be done by either Laser Etching or Machining.
- *You cannot specify the etching process.
- *You cannot specify the processing method.
- - Laser etching: After surface treatment
- - Machining: Before surface treatment
Possible etching locations
The etching instructions can be given on TOP, BOTTOM, FRONT, BACK, LEFT, and RIGHT surfaces (only flat surfaces). *Pocketed flat surfaces with a depth of 15 mm or less are also available for etching.
Available number of etching settings
Multiple etching instructions for multiple surfaces are available.
Character Specifications
- Half-width alphanumeric characters and some symbols (+-. #$%&()=*:? /_~) can be freely entered.
- *Line feed and space input are also supported.
Character size | 3~15mm(Can be specified at 1mm pitch) |
---|---|
17.5~30mm(Can be specified at 2.5mm pitch) |
- *Font (font, spacing) and line spacing cannot be specified.
- *The letter size of the etching are only reference values. Dimensional accuracy is not guaranteed.
- Depending on the text content, the size may differ from the specified size.
The size definition of the etched characters is as follows.
i.e., When specifying a font size of 10mm
Angle setting
- Angle can be indicated in 45° steps (0° to 360°)
- *The angle is only a rough standard value. Angular accuracy is not guaranteed.
Shipping Days
Normal delivery time (5~ days), long delivery time service (20~ days).
*Etching does not increase lead time.
*Etching does not increase lead time.
Quality Control
- Quality precautions for etching
- 1. Burrs and burn marks may occur on the etching area.
- 2. Some characters may be blurred if a 3 to 5 mm etching character size is specified.
- 3. Depending on the material and surface treatment, there is a possibility that the etching characters may become blurred.
- 4 The letter size and angle of the etching are only reference values. Dimensional accuracy is not guaranteed.
- 5. Depending on the content of the characters, there may be cases where the size differs from the specified size
- 6. Depending on the total length of the etching, there is a possibility of discrepancies in letter spacing and height (ref.: 90 mm or more).
