Chemical etching stainless steel encoder disk for optical encoder sensor

Encoder specification:

Photo Etching is flexible, highly accurate and effective at any volume. The photo etching process is known by many names, including chemical etching, acid etching and photo chemical machining (PCM).

Metal Selection

Benefits of Photo Etching

1. Precise Tooling
   The photo-tool artwork for photo chemical etching is free of charge here at xinhaisen, as we like to invest in our customers future.
2. Risk-Free Design
   With the ability to produce rapid prototypes with short lead times, the complexity of your design is often not an issue. We will manufacture to your required drawings and to your exacting standards.
3. Right First Time
   The chemical etching process does not use mechanical force or heat, which means that the metals properties remain unchanged. The temper of material is also not altered and parts are completely burr-free and stress-free.
4. No Finishing Required
   Our metal etching process leaves no rough edges or burrs, therefore no additional deburring process is often required.
5. A variety of Thicknesses
   A huge variety of different material types and thicknesses can be photo etched, ranging from 0.0127mm through to 1.60mm thick.
6. Tolerances From ±0.025mm
   As your components features are all etched simultaneously, the complexity achievable can be impressive with profile tolerances achievable from ±0.025mm.
