    Laser Engraving plastics

    I need recommendations on laser engraving plastic spectacle lenses.

    We coat these lenses and each lens has to have a unique identification number. The identifier is about 2.5mm high and 4 digits.

    Currently we hand engrave this, but it's time consuming- we have 3 guys engraving all day- we do about 800 lenses a day.

    I'm thinking of a hand held system where you can, I dunno, type the number in then just point the unit at the lens and zap it, or a desktop system where I can bung the lens on the machine table and zap it.

    Is there anything out there that would do this please?
    I love deadlines- I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.

    Any CO2 laser with galvo head will help you. For example GCC Stellarmark 12 Wt

    lasermax10,

    Do you have a website with additional details of these products?

    If the prices are reasonable I too would be interested in evaluating them, perhaps you could offer a 'sample' (small batches, mixed colors/materials) at low cost to cover materials and shipping.

    Zax.
