Gravostyle™ stamp mode

The stamp mode in Gravostyle™ is designed for ease of use, allowing users to design their stamps as they would appear in final form.
 

This mode enables precise adjustments and ensures that the design is effectively prepared for laser engraving.
By transforming the design with a single click, Gravostyle™ creates a file ready for engraving, eliminating complex setup procedures.
 

The inclusion of beveled edges in the design prevents ink retention in engraved areas, enhancing the quality of the final stamp.

This functionality is ideal for creating professional-grade stamps with clean, defined edges and accurate impressions, ensuring that each stamp meets high standards of performance and visual appeal.

Partial cut mode: bridge mode

Gravostyle™’s partial cut mode, or bridge mode, offers significant advantages in stamp production by allowing for the entire sheet of rubber to be removed after cutting.
This method eliminates the need to extract each stamp individually, thereby reducing manual handling and cleanup time.

The bridge mode maintains the integrity of the material sheet, facilitating a more efficient post-production process.

By removing the entire sheet at once, users can quickly clean the stamps in bulk, improving overall productivity.
This feature is especially beneficial for high-volume production, where time-saving and efficiency are crucial.

Equipment for stamp engraving

For high precision in engraving rubber stamps, use a 1.5'' lens, which allows for detailed and accurate cuts. For standard engraving tasks, a 2.0'' lens is preferred, providing a balance between precision and speed

Additionally, using air-assisted nozzles helps protect the lens from debris and dust, ensuring consistent cut quality and prolonging the lens's lifespan. Proper lens selection and maintenance are crucial for achieving high-quality engravings and optimal performance of your laser engraving machine.

Engraving rubber stamps generates significant amounts of smoke and dust, making high-volume fume extractors essential. Models like the LE140HP and LNI for the LS900, or the mobile ES30/50 extractors, are ideal for this purpose. 

Using a pre-separator helps collect large rubber particles, making cleanup easier and maintaining extractor efficiency. Additionally, the charcoal filter effectively removes odours, ensuring a cleaner and more pleasant working environment

Proper extraction systems are crucial for maintaining air quality and ensuring the safety and efficiency of the engraving process.

A honeycomb table is indispensable for cutting rubber stamps. Its structure provides optimal support and stability during the engraving and cutting processes, ensuring precise and clean cuts. 

The honeycomb design allows for efficient airflow and debris removal, preventing material from shifting and reducing the risk of fire. This setup enhances the overall quality of the cuts and prolongs the life of your laser machine. Investing in a honeycomb table is essential for achieving professional results and maintaining the safety and efficiency of your engraving operations.
