Laser marking Services near Welwyn Garden City on recording equipment – Hertfordshire Constabulary

In this case study we visit our customer Hertfordshire Constabulary. For this customer we do laser marking of their video recording equipment. The main material that these are made out is plastic, The laser marking is used to remove the colour of the plastic and revert the plastic colour back to white.

Although products of this type would normally require corporate branding, a more important element can be asset tracking. In this case, the police use a unique serial number to identify the camera when used for collecting information that then requires logging, evidence being a good example. It is also used to log out to a specific officer, when on duty providing a full history on the parts life time.

Each of these video units is located on the officer’s uniform and is used for collected potential evidence when on duty. They have determined that peoples’ approach when confronted with such technology, tend to be less aggressive, proving that the investment works in more ways than one. Due to privacy laws, as well as data collection, you have to be notified that you are being videoed during any conversation with the officer. To ensure all compliances are met, the Hertfordshire Constabulary wanted a large notification marked onto the camera unit, hence the statement ‘VIDEO RECORDING’ on the front. The asset number being the small one below it.

For these components being lasered, a standard jigg is used as the parts are consistent in size and shape, The marking on this was down to an accuracy of 0.1mm. For higher tolerances we can create bespoke jiggs to ensure the parts are repeatable and consistent if necessary.

The marking has no negative effect on the part from the heat generated during the process, due to the localised interaction area.
