UNIVERSAL
LASER SYSTEMS GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE WHITE HOUSE
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. – (February 21, 2005) Universal Laser
Systems, Inc. had the honor of working with Medals of America,
the company that makes the presidential flag cases that house
the flags flown over the Capitol during the recent inauguration
ceremony of President Bush and Vice-President Cheney.
Medals of America of Fountain Inn, South Carolina recently
purchased a laser system from Universal, but were still awaiting
delivery of the unit when they received a very important order
for flag cases. These flag cases are to be presented to President
Bush and Vice-President Cheney by Senator Elizabeth Dole at
a later date.
Each flag case contains a triangular, beveled piece of glass
that is laser etched with the seals of the President and Vice-President,
respectively, along with their names and date of second inauguration.
Due to the time constraints, Medals of America requested that
Universal Laser Systems, Inc. handle the laser etching. David
Stevens, Applications Engineer at Universal Laser Systems,
Inc., was happy to oblige.
"The presidential seal and names were laser etched on
the inside of the glass on our M-360 laser system using a
60-watt laser with High Power Density Focusing Optics installed,"
notes Stevens. The special optics were used so that the extremely
fine details would be crisp and clear. "The flag cases
will be on display at the White House," Stevens continues.
"It's very exciting that ULS was part of this historic
event."
CO2 laser systems have been used in the awards and engraving
industry for almost 20 years now. They can cut and engrave
wood, plastic, paper, and rubber and can etch on glass and
coated metals, even some uncoated metals (i.e. stainless steel)
with special optics. Laser engraving systems are also utilized
in woodworking, custom gifts, sign making, and embroidery
industries, as well as architecture and numerous industrial
fields. Laser systems run like printers from Windows-based
programs, like CorelDRAW® and AutoCAD®.
