Overview
Pryor’s Electrochemical Etching station is a very quick and easy to use etching system that creates a mark using an electric current. Controlled by PC software, the system is fully programmable and capable of creating many different mark designs, including alphanumeric data, Data Matrix codes and logos. The output voltage and waveform are completely selectable, allowing the user to tailor the output to the material being marked. This enables high contrast, high quality marks to be created on virtually all electro-conductive materials, regardless of surface hardness. The machine is even capable of creating white marks as desired for certain applications.
Unlike many chemical etching machines, Pryor's Electrochemical Etching system conducts both the AC and DC operations in one cycle, reducing process time. The time is also fully controllable by the operator.
This etching machine is often used in aerospace manufacture for component traceability as it is fully integrated with Data Matrix part marking software and does not deform the component being marked. This is particularly important in all applications with tight tolerances on surface treatment, such as marking very small pipes, shims and feeler gauges.
