Our Expertise
Founded in 1999 our shop has been meeting the needs of commercial customers who need a quality laser mark for 24 years.
Laser engraving has been around for decades but is still reaching into new industries. We are reaching into those industries with confidence and educating new customers in how laser engraving can add value to their products. We help many people who are seeing laser engraving called out on an engineers drawing for a job to bid for the first time. We help them know how to navigate bidding for this new process.
Our industrial customers value our willingness and ability to research to create a process to mark materials other groups are not interested in.
Our Commitment
Weigel’s Laser Engraving will always be focused on three things.
A high-quality mark, at a fair price, with a quick turnaround.
With these in mind, we look forward to continuing our growth and meeting the needs of new customers who present us with challenging and interesting needs.
“My 17-year experience in the engineering industry gives me an appreciation for the importance of reading drawings and specifications carefully and following them to the letter. If we can’t hold to a tolerance as given we will pursue a variance if one can be had or walk away. We have taken on jobs that other groups attempted but ignored the specs. My engineering background makes talking through complicated projects with engineers enjoyable because we speak the same language. I also know the right questions to ask to keep a project moving.”
Rob Weigel, Owner
Our Shop
We utilize high-quality lasers in a controlled environment which helps keep our lasers running strong year after year. Say more about laser maintenance and expertise. We don’t have to call out customers and tell them their project is delayed due to a down laser.
We maintain our own lasers, so when we have a problem, we can fix it, and quickly get back to work.
We stock and have quick access to many of the materials needed by customers. We will keep extra stock on hand for repeat projects making the turnaround faster.
Our Equipment
Epilog laser is the finest laser manufacturer in the USA. Assembled in Golden, Colorado, they have been producing high-quality lasers for decades. Our CO2 laser set includes a 45 watt, a 60 watt, and a 120 watt Add footprints for these lasers. These lasers are maintained by us and have produced fantastic quality throughout their years of service.
When fiber lasers came on the scene, it quickly became apparent they filled a niche we needed with the ability to engrave into the surface of metals. Fiber lasers come in varying wattages for marking purposes, mainly 10 to 50-watt systems. Our first fiber laser is an Epilog FiberMark 50, which is a 50-watt fiber laser. We chose the 50-watt due to its being able to more quickly penetrate the surface. It has a 24″x12″ laser bed footprint.
When the need for higher capacity and a larger laser footprint became necessary, we purchased a 50-watt Trotec Speedy 300. This German-engineered laser raised our footprint to 28”x17” and added a very useful precision rotation device.
Our Reach
Though based in Portland Oregon, we have served customers all over the United States. Alaska, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Utah, Louisiana, Hawaii, and of course Washington, Idaho and California, to name just a few of the states our engraving has traveled to.
We use UPS as our exclusive in state and interstate shipper, various couriers in the greater Portland area for same day service and personally deliver some items direct to our customers hands.
We take pride in our shipping and will re-box any shipment for return that arrives in a less than quality shipping carton. We use 200lb crush strength ULINE shipping boxes for all our shipping.
