Industrial signage consists of tags and panels that designate elements, environments, spaces, dangers or general information relating to the plant. Industrial signage plates are usually made of two-tone plastic.
Industrial Signage
Industrial signage consists of tags and panels that designate elements, environments, spaces, dangers or general information relating to the management of the factory or technological plant being built. Some plates for industrial signage are standardized by law, others follow the specifications and regulations of each particular industry in terms of shape, color and coding, thus ensuring worker safety and improving productivity and plant maintenance.
Industrial signage can consist of plates and panels that identify areas of the plant, or that report technical data on ducts, cable bundles, switches and other plant components in order to facilitate their use. Plant plates must certainly be long-lasting, legible over time, and must therefore be made of resistant materials and must have indelible graphics.
How are industrial identification tags made?
Industrial signage tags can be made either by milling or with laser machines.
Milling engraving machines can produce tags in two-tone ABS material, or even more resistant in ACRYLIC, engraving names and acronyms in a permanent and long-lasting way. The same machines can also cut the plates to shape.
PCube supplies small milling machines, which can be equipped with a self-centering vice and a special table to block the plates, even the thinnest ones. As an option, the machines can be connected to a chip extractor, to always have a clean work surface.

Laser machines are practical and very productive, they are not suitable for engraving ABS tags but they make them perfectly in acrylic material. There are various types of laser technology, the most effective for making industrial signs are laser technology with Co2 source and XY movement, which allows for large productions of large-sized plates and panels, and fiber technology with MOPA source to make small-sized plates at an incredible speed.
