We are looking for chem etching equipment. Does anyone know where I can find chem / laser systems?

Place a label and etch that instead of the PCB. Too many variances in solder mask

Hello people. We have a Nutek LMC-S3 laser etcher that we use for etching 2D datamatrix codes onto our PCBs. The system has been in use for some time, but seems to constantly need tweaking to get reliable results. There are a lot of variables that

From what I figured, machine is as good as the understanding we have about it. I have heard people complaining about machines I know for a fact are great. Manuals and training are there with a reason. There is no universal recipe for anything out the

What about the bar code reader? The ability of them vary a lot. One machine had problems reading clearly printed barcodes. But after new software it would read them well. And later we got boards with the datamatrix barcodes silk screened on. They we

Software makes a huge difference. Try a different barcode reader app and see if you can find a better one. With data matrix the bar code can be mostly a bunch of blobs as long as the outside is reasonable good. Then the reader only needs a few pixels

Are you using a regular barcode scanner, or a smartphone app? When I print QR style codes on labels, I often use my phone to verify the print, but I've found that sometimes, especially when I print very small, or a very dense barcode, my phone won't

Is the variation between markings human-detectable, or does the issue only crop up when you use a scanner? Different scanners can definitely have different results. Try a few models, and make sure you aren't using any damaged scanners. When you se

John: You can also check out: Lumonics Control Laser Both have CO2 laser systems that might be of interest to you. Wayne

:Try American Plating Systems for Chem Etch Equipment, LPKF (Germany)for Laser cutting systems (A Laser in Oregon is the local distributor for LPKF), Lumonics is another option for Laser cutting systems. Probably should have been more specific. | W
