For the past 60 years Gravograph have been supplying the Funeral Trade with engraving machines both reliable and easy to use. Across the UK hundreds of coffin plates are engraved every day on machines well over 30 years old.
Manual pantograph engravers are the ideal choice for Funeral Directors with low volume engraving requirements or limited budget.
Computerised engravers are ideal for those with higher volume requirements or wishing to produce better looking plates thanks to an unlimited choice of letter style and symbols such as hearts, crosses, doves and more. Computerised engravers truly work like a printer, meaning that no skill other than a basic PC knowledge is required. It is as simple as 1-2-3: open a template, type in new text, press Start.
The IM3 pantograph engraver is renowned for its build quality as well as ease of use thanks to a versatile vice that will accommodate all plates. A variety of letter styles are available.
Fitted with a sticky mat that will hold coffin plates firmly in place, the M40 engraver is today Gravograph's best selling computerised machine within the Funeral Trade (see video). Another popular system is the extremely compact IS200 model fitted with jigs for coffin plates.
Photo realistic engraving of portraits can be easily achieved with a computerised engraver.
Astonishing detailed engraving into wood and plastic can be achieved with a laser engraver such as the LS100.
• Sharp cutters are essential to achieve good quality engraving. Use carbide tools to engrave metal and high speed steel tools to engrave plastic. Gravograph supply cutters for all applications and also offer an efficient cutter re-sharpening service.
• Swarf extractors will reduce scratch marks as well as remove all dust generated during the engraving
• Nylon depth noses will help reduce scratch marks on plates as well as guarantee constant engraving depth.
• A variety of jigs are available to hold plates and items of any shape including tapered coffin plates.
• Non scratch coffin plates are available from Gravograph (with symbols such as crosses pre-engraved if required)
• Wax crayons can be used to infill the engraved letter with colour
We carry a large stock of spare parts. Service is available for all machines, no matter how old they are. Machines beyond economical repair can be traded in against a replacement model.
We also offer an efficient cutter re-grinding service.
