BRUNEL LEADS EUROPE WITH INVESTMENT IN INNOVATIVE LASER ENGRAVING SYSTEM TO
ENHANCE COMPONENT MARKING CAPABILITY FOR AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY

 

Industrial engraving specialist, Brunel Engraving Company, a leading
supplier of custom plates, panels and other engraving products to the
automotive industry, is the first business in Europe to take delivery of the
latest, most powerful Epilog Galvo Laser engraving machine - the Epilog G2
Galvo Laser System.

The state of the art system will enable Brunel to engrave on virtually any
metal and plastic component, providing a solution to virtually every
engraving requirement.

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 Monday, 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 609 mm.
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.

"We have supplied many motor manufacturers, including prestige names such as
Aston Martin, Rolls Royce and Jaguar, alongside small, privately owned
concerns, for many years and we have always invested in the latest
technologies to improve our efficiency and enhance our portfolio of
products", said Martyn Wright, founder and managing director of Brunel
Engraving.

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

Matt Kirwan, CSI managing director, commented:   'We are delighted to be
working with Brunel on another first for CSI as Brunel was also the first
engraving company in the UK to install the widely acclaimed Epilog Fusion
laser back in 2014. They are a very experienced engraving company with a
broad knowledge of materials and conversion techniques so we look forward to
seeing their creative output from the G2.   We are very excited about the
launch of Epilog's first commercial Galvo laser system and believe this
product will give CSI access to new industrial market sectors."
