Applelec lasers in on market share

Trade sign and LED supplier Applelec has added a new laser welding machine to its equipment arsenal as part of a move to bolster its letter production services

The new device is being used to create stainless steel built-up letters by fusing together each letter’s face to its return to create a more durable letter than those produced using hand soldering techniques. 

It also offers the firm a quicker way of producing such applications—allowing it to take on more work and enjoy the profitable rewards as a result. 

With faster production, we are working towards passing the benefits directly to our customers in the form of reduced costs for Applelec’s built-up metal letters”

The machine is the latest addition to our Leeds factory and is used in conjunction with our automated return shaper to speed up Applelec’s metal letter making processes,” explains Applelec business development manager, Andy Armitage.

He adds: “This creates a highly organised letter production system that delivers tangible labour time-savings and production efficiencies. 

“With faster production, we are working towards passing the benefits directly to our customers in the form of reduced costs for Applelec’s built-up metal letters.”
