Looking for an Industrial Signage Alternative to Chemical Etching? Engrave Industrial Signage in Brass, Zinc, Magnesium, Copper, Stainless & Aluminum - no acid or chemicals!
FROM ART to PART. Chemical/Acid Etching can't do this & low-cost routers can't come close to our High-Speed Gantry Machining System.
Engraving vs. Chemical Etching –A Chemical Etching Alternative. If the high costs and increasing regulations associated with Chemical Etching have you looking for an alternative to chemical etching, DATRON CNC Engraving systems are for you. DATRON's high-speed machining technology delivers superior engraving of industrial signage using brass, zinc, magnesium, copper, aluminum, stainless steel and plastics. Best of all there are no attendent costs associated with the management or disposal of chemicals. In fact, our micro-volume, ethanol coolant used for superior cutting simply evaporates ... thereby eliminating degreasing operations or any disposal fees.

Industrial Signage Case History:
DATRON customer, IntelliCAM, used our high-speed engraving for an industrial signage project that included 29 engraved zinc panels for the building’s exterior signage, the “Founder’s Wall,” a 16-by-8-foot zinc panel, nearly 400 way-finding signs that appear throughout the structure and smaller donor plaques. To get the job done, Welson went to two eight-hour shifts to keep the two CNC routers busy for a combined 32 hours a day.
