New leather engraving machine at Eastern Laser
China-based Eastern Laser has unveiled a new laser
engraving machine that can be used to engrave leather shoes, bags and other
leathergoods.
The ETC-2516 can be used to draw lines or patterns on the
surface of the leather, or to drill holes. The leather can be engraved so that
the base colour is visible without causing yellowing on the surface of the
lines or blackening at the incision of the dermis.
Different speed settings allow leathergoods manufacturers
to use different leather thicknesses. For small items, the advisable speed is
around 0.8 metres per minute, while for larger goods, customers can introduce
speeds of between 1.5 and 3 metres.
The machine can also be used to add information such as
barcodes, production dates and serial numbers to confirm authenticity and
prevent counterfeiting.
