Brunel leads Europe with investment in laser engraving system

The system will enable Brunel to engrave on virtually any metal and plastic component, providing a solution to virtually every engraving requirement, from small labels to complicated aeronautical parts.

Manufactured by Epilog in the USA and supplied by CSI, Epilog’s UK and Ireland distributors, the Epilog G2 Galvo was installed at Brunel’s headquarters in Clevedon, North Somerset, by CSI on 5th June 2017.

The new G2 is the first galvo laser system that can laser mark over a large work area without compromising engraving quality or requiring product indexing. It features an air-cooled, pulsed fibre laser that engraves at fast speeds over an adjustable engraving area, spanning up to 609 x 609mm. The machine can mark and deep engrave at high speed directly onto most metals and industrial plastics without the need for any pre or post-treatments. There is no contact between the laser and the component, eliminating clamping marks.

This is a major investment in the very latest engraving technology for Brunel, one of the largest and most successful engraving businesses in the UK, which will enable the company to mark virtually any metal and plastic component as a one off or in volume.

Martyn Wright, founder and managing director of Brunel Engraving, said: “We have supplied companies such as BAE Systems and August Westland, alongside small, privately owned concerns including private aircraft and flying clubs, for many years and we have always invested in the latest technologies to improve our efficiency and enhance our portfolio of products.”

“We are leading Europe with our investment in the G2 which will take our component engraving capability for the aerospace industry to the next level, enabling us to tackle ever more complex and diverse requirements.”
