Our engraving machines create images on the stone using diamond tip.
We call this technology “Impact Etching”. It is different from laser engravers, because we hit the stone physically, creating bright, deep etchings.
We offer 2 types of DiamondEdge™ Impact Etching Machines
DiamondEdge-Sprinter™
DiamondEdge-Sprinter™ is a portable model that can be lifted by a single person and transported in a small truck, or even in the back seat of a compact sedan. Sprinter™ model is designed to be placed on top of the stone, so it does not impose any restrictions on how big the stone is. You can etch the images that are larger than the working field of the machine by breaking them into pieces, and by etching large images in parts. Check this YouTube video prepared by one of our customers, illustrating memorial plaque etching for Spaceview park in florida, across the water from the Kennedy Space centre:
(the video shows our previous model, Granite-CP™, but you can do the same with DiamondEdge-Sprinter™)
Smaller stones, such as 12×12 tiles often used in columbaria, can be placed inside of the machine frame
DiamondEdge-Max™
DiamondEdge-Max™ is a stationary model. You feed the stone into the machine frame from underneath, using pallet truck or low profile dolly.
Sprinter™ and Max™ model use identical etching head, so there is no difference in etching quality between those two models. Both will create amazing stone engravings.
The only difference is the size of working field.
Mechanical components (linear drives) for both machines are made in Germany, by Igus.
