A new laser etcher at Motion’s Eagle Farm facility is setting new standards in efficiency, accuracy, and durability for nameplate solutions, while enhancing customer satisfaction across diverse industries.
The art of nameplate production has entered a new era at Motion’s Eagle Farm facility, thanks to the introduction of a state-of-the-art laser etcher. Designed to improve efficiency and precision, this cutting-edge technology is already reshaping operations and elevating customer service.
Luke Kerwin, national manufacturing and services manager at Motion, outlines the significance of this investment: “The laser etcher allows us to transition from traditional stamping methods to a process that is faster, more versatile, and far more accurate. Unlike stamping, which has its limitations, laser etching ensures permanent markings that won’t fade, rub off, or degrade over time.”
Key features and benefits
The laser etcher can imprint text, logos, and intricate designs onto a range of materials, from metallic gaskets to mechanical seal components. By integrating customer-specific identification markings, it offers unmatched flexibility for industries requiring detailed and durable identification – such as pump repairs, gearbox maintenance, and industrial manufacturing.
Durability is one of the standout advantages. “The markings are etched directly into the steel, which ensures they remain intact for the equipment’s entire lifecycle,” Kerwin explains. This durability proves particularly valuable in harsh environments like chemical processing plants and heavy industrial sites.
Streamlined timelines
Speed is another critical benefit. Where older methods often created bottlenecks, this technology significantly reduces production timelines. “With the new laser etcher, we can process custom orders faster, ensuring quicker turnaround for our customers,” Kerwin says.
The increased efficiency also enhances Eagle Farm’s capacity to take on more complex projects.
