The first of our new laser-etching capabilities.

We are thrilled to announce the successful completion of our first job laser-etching a hose fitting, a development from the dot-pin marking techniques we were using before! At Kiowa, we pride ourselves on providing bespoke hose solutions across a wide range of industries. This new capability marks another significant step towards offering full customisation for our clients. Our commitment to innovation and excellence ensures that we continue to meet and exceed the unique needs of every project. Join us as we celebrate this milestone and explore the endless possibilities that our enhanced services bring to your business. There’s more to discover about the avenues this opens up for our bespoke hose solution, but what we do know is:

• We can etch in 100mm x 100mm (don’t worry if your area is bigger than that, if what we’re etching fits in the machine, our trained technicians will etch several different designs together to fill your space).
• We can etch “almost all” materials using the N-Lase Desktop Pro.
• Built in fans prevent your purchase heating excessively in the process.
• Not only words, but we can etch any logo, image or QR code onto the part in question.

Take a look at our first outbound shipment of bespoke, etched fittings.

The Machine

The N-Lase Desktop Pro is the most popular laser in the N-Lase range. Designed for marking, etching, engraving and annealing almost all materials in mid to high volume applications

The Print

As per this customers request, these fittings have the order number, date and part number on to make their systems easy to understand.

The Hose & Fittings

This customer has ordered the Alfagomma 720AA with swaged fittings.

We’re yet to explore all the ways we are able to use our new tools to best aid your bespoke needs, but stay tuned, as in the next few weeks our teams will be experimenting, trialling and in some cases just playing around with our new equipment until we find them all. At this point, in a few weeks, we’ll make a website page full of all the ways we can support you.
