Laser Engraving Near Salfords on Stainless Steel Ratchet Reel Guide Plates – Custom Divers

In this case study we visit our nearby customer Custom Divers. We currently do laser marking, laser etching and laser engraving on a variety of their parts which we will cover in other case studies. However in this case study we will focus on the laser engraving of a Stainless Steel Ratchet Reel Guide Plate.

Laser engraving stainless steel is done on our inhouse 70 watt SPI Fiber system with a f-180 F-theta lens, the marking process of this particular component takes approximately 10 seconds. As can be seen from the video, the product is laser engraved with one heavy pass in order to establish the required depth of mark on the stainless steel, but for clarity of the engraving it is hatched and then the contour of each letter is engraved.

In this particular case the part is located in one of universal jigs that we use on lots of different customer components as a method to quickly and accurately locate parts, due to this part being thin, flat, having a square edge and being heavily engraved, we use a low sided corner jigg, to try and avoid splatter hitting the surface of the product. These marks are repeatable to a greater accuracy than 0.1mm. For better tolerances or more detailed parts, separate bespoke jig can be made and used by ourselves.

Reel guide helps to guide the line on and off the reel. Guide line is an item of diving equipment used by scuba divers as a means of returning to a safe starting point in conditions of low visibility, water currents or where pilotage is difficult.
