The Linear Motion Table is stepper motor controlled; it has a 500mm stroke and fully programmable indexing positions with a registration tolerance of +/- .0005”. The tooling plate readily accepts pin registered engraving fixtures or is designed to accommodate various printing plate sizes (up to 250mm x 650mm).
The Rotary Engraving Module is a programmable servo controlled motor which enables the engraving of products up to 4 inches in diameter and 4 inches wide. The rotational accuracy is +/- .0005” and is programmed through the Cobalt 1000 software package.
The Cobalt 1000 is a YAG laser engraver designed to make high resolution pad printing plates and laser engrave a wide variety of substrates: stainless steel, silver, aluminum, coated metals, leather, simulated leather, glass, textile, paper, rubber, wood and more.
“This has been one of the industry’s most popular YAG laser engravers and laser plate makers that comes with a much better technical support than, say, Epilog laser,” affirms Inkcups Now representative. “The system features the highest quality components including a fiber laser, advanced Cobalt 1000 software and 10mm scan head – all packaged in a compact industrial cabinet and assembled in Boston, MA. And now, with the Linear Motion Table and Rotary Engraving Module, this machine becomes a 3-D laser engraver and truly one of the most flexible, cost effective and user friendly laser etchers on the market! One of the most popular applications for the 3-D and rotary engravers that I see today is laser engraving pens – and Cobalt is able to etch 5-10 pens at a time in a 3 second cycle. We have a lot of success stories about jump-starting customized metal pen engraving with our machine.”
