Laser Processing in the Tooling Industry
The tooling industry has adopted laser processing significantly over the years. Some of the out-dated processes that have been replaced by lasers are chemical etching, dot pin, electro etching and stamping. Lasers are extremely versatile and are capable of annealing, etching and deep engraving. For this reason many companies have chosen laser processing as a necessary tool over the older conventional ways. Fonon Technologies’ systems can be seen in marking hand tools in Cornwell Tools, marking drill bits in Precision Twist Drill and several other tooling companies throughout the world.
