Brendan finally found his glass engraving solution, and before long he had a Meta-C UV doing almost all his glass marking. And the more he used it, the more he saw the advantages.
It wasn’t just the quality and speed of the laser – it was that the whole process was far more ecological than anything else.
“It’s a truly green product. At the end of the day, the only thing that was consumed for its creation was energy – no chemicals, no waste by-products.
An engraved product consumed just a tiny amount of energy, and until I shatter it, it’s completely permanent.”
So Arton had quality glassware that well surpassed the competition. But Brendan’s success would make a whole new problem – they just couldn’t engrave the glassware fast enough to keep up with demand!
However, Brendan had such confidence in the Meta-C laser that he installed a COBOT automated system for loading and unloading, turning his workshop in a 24/7 production powerhouse.
“With the COBOT, we just put it on in the morning and ignore it…we’ll check every twenty minutes to load more product, and it just quietly and dutifully engraves.
There’s been plenty of longer jobs where we’ll go home, turn the lights off, and it’ll just engrave into the night.”
Because the Lotus system is so reliable – and UV engraving is a much simpler process than sand carving or etching with a CO2 or diode laser – Brendan can produce glassware on an absolutely massive scale and to an incredibly high standard.
Brendan marked one of the first companies who looked ‘across the pond’ to find a real engraving solution – but there are many more who’ve followed since, and sales in the United States have grown exponentially as more and more people have discovered what Lotus Laser Systems has to offer.
We provide a fully automated Meta-C and COBOT solution that’s ready to work, engraving any parts from glassware to serial plates, jewellery to electrical components. Book a demo and come and see what Lotus systems can do.
