Seven in one sweep:<br />

Main application areas<br />

The laser engraving systems of the <strong>FOBA</strong> G-Series lead with far more than the sum of<br />

their “inner values”: engraving, smoothing, frosting, refining and marking. The G-Series<br />

enables creation of three dimensional surface structures for texturing, such as convex<br />

curvatures or concave hollows as easily as multi-faceted frostings, textures and optical<br />

effects on embossing stamps or markings and edge marking of finished coins and medals.<br />

The laser processing centers are versatile, flexible and create efficient synergies:<br />

one system, multiple possibilities.<br />
