Precision Laser Technology announced its opening last month, which creates the opportunity for upstate New York toolmakers to rely on a local engraving source.
Located in Rochester, PLT provides laser engraving solutions to global OEMs and plastic part manufacturers to enhance the appearance and performance of their product.
PLT combines digital imagery and proven laser techniques to engrave molds, dies, jigs, fixtures, and other devices used on factory floors to manufacture molded parts.
Nd:Y laser technology is utilized as the wavelength of light is ideally sized to react with materials that have densely packed molecular structures such as metals.
Careful control of laser settings and parameters allows for very intricate 3D engravings in the most complex mold cavities.
PLT’s expanded knowledge of laser systems, mold configurations and metal ablation allows for precise control of critical dimensions and wall angles when deep engravings are needed.
In recent years, laser technology has proven to be a viable source for industrial engraving as many traditional engraving methods have failed to meet the continually growing standards for precision, depth, and quality.
Industries such as medical, microelectronics, and defense are continually reducing the size of their hardware.
As mechanical, electrical and optical components continue to be manufactured smaller in size, traditional machining methods become difficult to employ(a).
“As the complexity of mold construction increases, PLT’s technologies will become more important in the future,†adds co-owners Ron Natale and James Garcia.
“Rochester is rich in engraving tradition.
We are excited about the opportunities this area presents.†Alpha-numeric character sets or image files are lasered on various material surfaces, such as stainless steel, ebonite, aluminum, plastic, glass, ceramic, and wood, while providing a quality engraving each time.
