Hi there,
I'm totally new to CNC, but we have a small printing business that specializes in hot foil stamping and security hologram application.
We have an Emco FB-2 in the workshop that I want an engineer to convert to CNC for me so that we can hopefully CNC our own foiling and embossing dies out of brass, copper or magnesium.
I will fit ballscrews to the mill to make it more accurate, but hope that it will be accurate enough for the task at hand.
I would also like to make Refractive, textured dies if possible for our security printing side. Just have no idea how to do this. I would like to keep everything in house as I am focusing more on the security side of things. I just don't have the capital yet to buy a R500 000.00 machine to do this yet. And we aren't using the mill for anything else at the moment, so even if we JUST use it for the foiling blocks it would be great.
Kind Regards
Zaak
