Granite Laser Engraver from AP Lazer

When laser engraving on granite, the surface of the polished stone is removed by the laser beam resulting in high resolution, high detail, and most of all, high-quality artwork. The best contrast will be achieved when engraving on black granite which produces a black and white grayscale photoengraving. A laser engraving on granite will last as long as the polish on the stone which is typically hundreds of years.

Why AP Lazer is the Best Granite Laser Engraver

AP Lazer was born in the monument industry, therefore we have many years of experience laser engraving granite. AP Lazer’s patented design was fine-tuned to fit the needs of heavy granite engraving:

• Open Architecture This patented feature provides users the option to fully remove the z-table (or home base) and roll large bulky granite objects directly beneath the laser beam. To utilize this feature, the removable laser top will need to be in place on the Utility Carriage, which comes standard with most machines. Read more about our laser machines and accessories here.
• EZ Leveling System 4 wheels on each corner of the machine allow you to adjust the four corners independently. The EZ Leveling System eliminates the need to use shims to level materials and increases safety when working with heavier materials such as granite.
• Size of WorkSpace is important when choosing a laser system. AP Lazer systems have workspaces ranging from 18″ x 12″ to 48″ x 36″. The larger your workspace, the larger engraving you can complete without having to tile artwork.
• Electrical Requirements for the AP Lazer are a 110v. Unlike other machines, AP Lazer plugs directly into any common electrical outlet.
• Multi-layer Engraving means that you can run one job but utilize multiple speed and power settings. Engrave text at a higher power level and raster images at a lower power setting simultaneously, saving you both time and money.
• Cost of Laser Machine The average cost of our largest model, the SN4836LR is less than $4 per hour in an 8 hour day over the life of the machine. That factors in machine cost, maintenance, space, and electricity. AP Lazer costs quite a bit less than other large format laser systems that are capable of engraving large and heavy pieces of granite. Lease-to-own programs make it possible to get a laser machine in your hands, pass the slight learning curve, and start making money with your laser machine before making your first payment!

Laser Engraved Granite Applications

War memorials and historic memorials are peppered throughout the U.S. to honor and celebrate a war, victory, or historic event. They are most often made from granite and range in size from small markers to larger than life structures. To engrave a large memorial you must first have a laser machine that has the capabilities to engrave large, heavy objects. With no size or weight restrictions, AP Lazer’s open architecture granite laser engraver can handle even the largest of granite pieces.

Pet Memorial Products are a 12 billion dollar industry that shows no signs of slowing down. Many pet parents consider their pets members of their families and will spend upwards of $500 for a permanent tribute of their pet. Popular pet memorial products include mini granite memorials and markers, cremation urns, and granite display plaques.

Family memorials, gravestones, and tombstones have come a long way in the past hundred years. What were once blocks of granite hand-carved with a family name and dates have evolved into what most would consider works of art. Precious family memories and photos can be kept alive forever by laser engraving virtually anything into the surface of the granite.

Interior Designs include countertops, tile backsplashes, and even large granite table tops for business establishments. Whether your customers want a decorative engraving or a company logo, AP Lazer’s granite laser engraver can handle even the largest of requests.
