Stainless Steel Sign
This panel will be part of an overall outdoor cooking space at some fancy Michelin Star restaurant in Battersea.
This plate is 2200x850mm and made from 0.9mm 316 grade s/steel.
There are not many (if any) laser engravers that could do a job like this in the UK. Note that most marking lasers have a max mark area of 175mm and a load area at 300mm max. The T portion of this sign alone is 220mm high
This job is possible because of 3 things:
We have a modified version of iMeta that allows us to manually position/adjust the head in the Y axis in order that we may move it approximately 300mm so that we can reach over an area approximately 1m in the Y axis (this is the max part load – the max mark area 500mm reach)
The table and Z mechanism both have a very wide range; much bigger than a typical workstation or bench mounted format machine.
We split the artwork into x14 sections that each fitted within a 220x200mm area. Using an F-330mm lens that just about gave us 220x220mm of work area. We split the artwork into segments with very subtle 2mm breaks, then used a small line to locate the next section to the previous section using the red diode visual laser.
