ID tags and plate marking

Gantry laser are XY laser tables, they are slower than Galvo lasers for engraving only, but can host a large material sheet on their table and transform it into a batch of tags by engraving and cutting it very easily with the Matrix mode. They can create a natural contrast with most plastic or metallic.

CNC engravers are ideal for an aesthetical and deep engraving. Moreover, this technology allows both engraving and cutting and is the only one to create straight or bevelled edges. The small model is perfect to start a plate business thanks to its multipurpose and capacity. The large models will allow working in batches (engrave and cut several tags in one go).

Dot Peen is the fastest mechanical technology to engrave ID tags. They are cheaper than lasers, but still very fast, so they represent the ideal mechanical solution for a reduced budget when the need is to engrave ID plates.

Gravotech offers a complete solution to industrialize the production of tags. This manufacturing process will strongly increase your margin by turning a standard plain material sheet into hundreds of high added value tags.

Start with a very large blank plate, use Gravostyle™ to create one tag and the Matrix mode to easily multiply it on the whole plate surface. Data from all the tags can be similar or automatically loaded from a database, Excel file, CSV, etc. Send the order to the machine and come back a few minutes after to retrieve the finished tags ready to be used.

Gravotech offers large blank material with 2 layers ready to be engraved and cut at the exact size of the engraving machine. The first layer is to be removed to let the bottom layer appear and create a clear contrast. Several colours and materials are available for inside or outside application. Other options are available, like adhesive-backed plates.

Laser or Rotary tables can both engrave and cut in the same operation. Other features can be easily done with the combination software and machine, like drilling or fixing holes. Rotary engravers are also capable of doing a straight edge or bevelled edge finishing on the tags. Laser formats are adapted to full, half or quarter sheet size. Rotary large tables will also be able to host the material with even a small additional margin.

Gravotech offers a complete range of identification plate and labels ready to mark. Up to 6 sizes and styles In different thicknesses are available to suit your production requirements.

Do you need a solution adapted to the marking of identification plates, easy to use and accessible to your operators without specific training while increasing your productivity? Couple our range of ready-to-print nameplates to our marking machines equipped with our Automatic Plate Feeder (APF) accessory and turn your machine into a productive batch engraver.

Automatic Plate Feeder is an essential technique when processing production and batch quantities of machine plates, tags, ID plates. A conveyor takes the plates from the rack where they are stored to the engraving area, which marks.

Once engraved, they are stored at the end of the chain in a fully automated way. Ideal for engraving batches of plates, badges, labels, tags. Up to 195 plates in one go. Automatic plate feeder accessory (APF) is compatible with our dot peen and laser stations.
