Product Information

Pantograph Engraving

Stockcode:

In skilled hands, the mechanical (or tracing) arm of the pantograph engraving machine accurately follows the contours of a template or master while the cutter on the engraving arm transcribes the design onto the material’s surface at a predetermined scale.

A pantograph engraving machine can be used on brass, steel, copper, plastics and wood and is ideal for logos and intricate designs particularly where a prototype or short run with the design scaled up or down is required.
Pantographs can also be used for printed circuit board milling. They precisely carve out circuit traces and patterns on copper-clad sheets in readiness for the addition of the electrical components.

At Ashbee Engraving, the top engravers can use the pantograph machines to engrave on shaped materials such as the wing of a car or a cylinder.

In combination with computerised engraving machines and laser technology exceptional results can be achieved across a wide range of projects.

Our Engraving Machines Include:

Pantograph Engraving

In the hands of a skilled operator, the pantograph engraving machine's mechanical (or tracing) arm meticulously traces the contours of a template or master design. As the tracing arm follows the template's details, the attached cutter precisely transfers the design onto the material's surface, maintaining the desired scale. This technique ensures that every intricate detail of the original template is accurately replicated, producing high-quality engravings with consistent precision across various materials.

Computerised Engraving
Our specialised engraving software is designed to seamlessly interface with our engraving machines, allowing for the creation and precise replication of intricate designs. This sophisticated software communicates directly with the machines, guiding the robotic cutter arm to execute complex patterns and detailed graphics with exacting accuracy. By integrating advanced technology with our engraving equipment, we ensure that every design, no matter how detailed, is faithfully reproduced with consistent quality and precision.

Laser Engraving
A laser engraving machine is capable of etching highly detailed designs, text, logos, and graphics onto an extensive variety of materials. This includes acrylic, wood, glass, coated metals, specialised steels, anodised aluminium, and even cork. The laser’s precision allows for the creation of intricate patterns and fine details with exceptional clarity and permanence. Whether you need to mark or decorate materials for aesthetic or functional purposes, the versatility of laser engraving ensures that complex designs are rendered accurately and effectively across different surfaces.
