Laser processing system (Plotter type CO₂ laser processing machine)

Laser printing machine

Computer-controlled general-purpose laser processing machines are installed.
Plotter-based laser processing machines incorporate an X-Y plotter in a sealed enclosure,
This system uses optical transmission, in which multiple mirrors are used to direct the laser at the object.
By combining this plotter system with a compact laser oscillator,
Stainless steel, titanium and other metals can be shallow-milled to enable material and size marking processes.

Equipment Features

  • POINT 01

    Unlike conventional electrolyte etching methods, the goods do not corrode.

  • POINT 02

    Due to the non-contact process, no physical pressure is applied to the goods.

  • POINT 03

    The shallow grinding into the product makes it very visible and increases the value of the product.

Processing Flow

  1. STEP01

Buffing / Electropolishing

Image of the polishing process

The polishing process smoothes out irregularities on the surface of the product,
In surface finishing operations carried out to remove dirt and dust from the manufacturing process,
This is an important process that greatly affects the finish of the product.
Izutsu uses buffing and electropolishing to provide the optimum finish for the product's characteristics and application.

IZUTSUのバフ研磨*Compatible with No. 400, No. 600 and hairline.
Buffing is a technique where a ‘polishing compound’ is applied to the stainless steel surface to create very fine scratches and shine, but if the abrasive oil adheres to the fine scratches created during the buffing process, it is very difficult to remove the dirt completely in the cleaning process.
Therefore, it is now common practice to buff only as much of the target area as possible.
However, the introduction of buffing removal washers in our company enables a high standard of cleaning, so we can also handle full surface buffing without limiting the scope of polishing.
Electropolishing at IZUTSU
If you require a smoother, mirror-like surface on metal surfaces, we recommend a higher grade of ‘electropolishing’.
Electropolishing is a polishing method whereby metal ions are eluted from the metal surface in an electrolyte solution to smooth the surface, but also to remove fine contaminants remaining on the container surface. The smooth surface makes it difficult for dirt and other substances to settle on the surface and facilitates cleaning.

Electropolishing is essential for pharmaceutical and semiconductor manufacturers who require avoidance of contamination from surfaces and corrosion resistance.

Equipment Features

  • POINT 01

    After buffing, precision cleaning is carried out to remove buffing dust, enabling use in food factories, etc.

  • POINT 02

    Internal and external grinding of 6A to 600A fittings possible. Also available for hairline processing.

  • POINT 03

    We provide safe and reliable products with short delivery times and low prices.

Pickling/weld tanning

Pickling/ Weld Cleaning Image

When stainless steel is welded, burn marks, known as scorch marks, are left on the surface. This burnt residue is visually unsightly and causes product quality problems. For this reason, we remove burn marks one by one using a chemical method called "burn removal," which involves pickling and electropolishing.

Equipment Features

  • POINT 01

    We not only provide the products that our customers require, but also offer positive added value.

  • POINT 02

    More corrosion-resistant than normal products
    The provision of products is made possible.

  • POINT 03

    No brushes are used.
    Prevents quality deterioration.
