Custom Anodized Control Panel Tags

CNCROi.com can now make low (and high) volume custom anodized control panel tags to whatever spec you require, let’s see how we made our latest batch for a customer of ours.

The thickness of the sheet goods you see here that will become our custom anodized control panel tags is 0.02″ as they will be placed (glued) straight onto the control panel’s front surface where all the knobs and switches will be.

From acquiring the sheet goods, CNCROi.com used a fiber laser cutter to make the shapes required in both black and red anodized aluminium, at this thickness, we make quick work at performing this transition for this project.

The advantage of fiber laser cutting over plasma for stock anodized aluminium sheets this thin is that it has a far tighter cutting diameter, our plasma can technically cut this as well, but it’s like using a firefighting hose to put out a candle and yes, CNCROi.com‘s CNC router can also cut this quite easily but as the process is more of a sheering one, lots of clean-up on the edges would be required.

Custom anodized control panel tags are essential components used in electrical, mechanical, and industrial systems, typically used to label and identify control panels, circuit breakers, and switches.

All of these capabilities can really make for some interesting items, so go as wild as you want, CNCROi.com can fabricate it.

With CNCROi.com, we can literally make these control panel tags out of anything, stainless steel to lamacoid to provide the best durability and resistance to corrosion, wear, and tear relative to budget considerations must be taken into the RFQ process.

Custom anodized control panel tags are customizable tags that can be designed to meet specific labeling requirements, they can be made in various shapes, sizes, and colors to fit any application or environment.

CNCROi.com can also make deep etched tags too, really, anything you can come-up with, we can make and ship right to your door.

CNCROi.com doesn’t have any real minimum volume requirements as well, nor shape or sizing limitations, what this means is that not all the tags need to be the same as you can see, we are essentially making one at a time, though your price per unit will be higher the lower and more customized you go.

The major advantage of using anodized aluminium for custom control panel tags is the color and durability over lamacoids, they are also far thinner (if you want) so there is a much more reduced chance of them snagging on the operator… I don’t have to show you twice exactly which of these tags were meant for the emergency stop button for instance!

Of course, if you require other organizing items to go with your control panel tags, like trays and the like, we can make those too at CNCROi.com.

One of the main benefits of custom anodized control panel tags is that they provide clear identification and labeling of control panels, circuit breakers, and switches to label various electrical components and devices, making it easier for technicians to identify and troubleshoot issues – very important for safety.

Custom anodized control panel tags help to reduce confusion and improve productivity, as well as ensure compliance with safety regulations.

If you are wondering about the durability of our offerings, here’s two tests I did on our popular welding tags, the application may be different but the results will be the same.

I don’t think the combination of these two tests exists anywhere on Earth, so whatever we make for you, rest assured, it will last.

The tags CNCROi.com makes can be made in any shape or size, and can be engraved with any text, symbol, or logo which allows companies to create custom tags that meet their specific labeling needs, while also maintaining a consistent and professional look throughout their facilities.

Custom anodized control panel tags can also be used to identify and label equipment that is unique to a particular industry, ensuring that technicians have the necessary information to maintain and repair machines and equipment, both on the outside and inside of the control panel.

Anodizing is a process that provides a protective coating to the tag, making it resistant to scratches, corrosion, and fading which means that the tags will maintain their appearance and functionality over time, even in harsh environments.

Of course, CNCROi.com can also fiber laser etch directly onto stainless steel control panels too, but generally, our customers like the flexibility of things they can glue or tack on for a bit of extra color.

Unlike lamacoid control panel tags, which CNCROi.com can also make however you wish, metal tags can withstand exposure to extreme temperatures, chemicals, and other harsh conditions that would melt your typical plastic alternatives.

Custom anodized control panel tags made by CNCROi.com are also easy to install and maintain. The tags can be attached to control panels, circuit breakers, and switches using a variety of methods, including adhesive backing or mechanical fasteners, making installation quick and easy, without the need for special tools or equipment.

Additionally, our stainless steel control panel tags can be spot or full welded in place as well, this means they can match the general #4 finish that most control panels have in industrial settings for those extra harsh environments.

To give you an idea of the resolution we can achieve on stainless steel, the same also holds true to anodized aluminium, here’s my son Simon etched onto a stock 316 stainless steel plaque that will outlast his great great great great grand children.

After CNCROi.com fabricates the blank custom anodized control panel tags, we use yet another laser to do the etching, this means that no inks, dyes or “printing” is involved which can fade, crack or peel overtime.

Again, I want you to notice that essentially, each and everyone of these custom anodized control panel tags is made one by one and etched in the same manner, as a result, you are not stuck to getting your design specs to fit within any particular “box”, you have absolute creative freedom with CNCROi.com!

CNCROi.com has a variety of stock custom tag blanks in our shop as well, one of our most popular stock offerings are our welding tags, perfect to rivet or weld.

Once one batch of these custom anodized control panel tags is finished, the next one is loaded-up and etched accordingly, CNCROi.com not only has various gantry laser systems and power sources but also galvos, which you’ll see shortly.

Having flexibility using the best CNC machine for any given application means that we are able to produce the absolute best results for our customers as everything can be optimized within optimal production ranges for the equipment we have.

Not only can CNCROi.com produce custom tags that are etched ON the surface of materials, but we can also make custom tags that are cut all the way through, though due to the laws of physics, they still must have inner supporting material, a problem we haven’t been able to bend thus far in our shop.

Unlike CNCROi.com‘s gantry based laser systems, a galvo has an internal mirror the perform the etching, as a result, it’s quicker though limited in focal size, unlike our gantry system.

And here is the finished product range, these will be going on stainless steel control panels, you can’t miss the emergency stop button!
