Five-axis laser performs engraving, marking

Five-axis control has allowed for better positioning of deep mold cores and cavities, laser engraving with optimum tool orientation, and precise repeatability.

In response to the growing complexity of part design, Precision Laser Technology (PLT) provides 5-axis laser technology for both engraving and micro-machining applications. In today's domestic market, many mold makers are being called upon by their customers to provide complex surface machining. PLT is stepping in to offer precision laser services as a solution to multi-axis surface etching and micro-machining.

'In addition to offering a cost-efficient service, the true driver was the ability to provide our customers with a solution to expand their mold design and construction capabilities,' adds Ron Natale Jr, PLT Co-Owner.

'As a service partner, our objective is to increase our customers' capacity.' 5-axis control has allowed for better positioning of deep mold cores and cavities, engraving with optimum tool orientation, and precise repeatability.

Ideal for extreme contour surfaces, the 5-Axis technology has reduced the number of required set-ups yielding higher savings to customers.
