Laser etching and cutting
Fotolight has 3 laser machines suited for different kinds of synthetic materials. One Trotec laser and 2 Sei laser machines. Clear acrylic panels are laser etched in order to function as a light source in LED signs. Large dimensions are not a challenge. Other skills are etching, cutting and engraving for light signs, displays, texts and even complete walls.
CNC milling
Fotolight is very flexible in processing all kinds of synthetic materials, wood and aluminium. This is a result of the presence of 3 CNC flatbed milling machines, a channelling machine and various scraper rolls. Parts are milled for different types of displays, supports, box letters and LED signs.
Strengths of Fotolight are milling of hard PVC and sandwich panels in order to create housings and claddings that can be constructed very easily. Moulds are produced for series productions and projects in which thermoforming is needed.
Thermoforming
Vacuümvormen doet Fotolight tot een afmeting van 450x750mm. in eigen beheer; voor grotere afmetingen is een competitief netwerk voorhanden. De jarenlange ervaring in zeefdruk maakt het mogelijk deze 2 technieken te combineren in proeftrajecten. Fotolight adviseert in materiaalgebruik, productietechniek en somt de voor- en nadelen op van diverse opties!
- Acrylic, PET, polystyrene, PVC, polycarbon, polypropylene, sandwich panel (dibond)
- Different types of wood
- Aluminium and steel
