Xinhsen specializes in manufacturing precision-etched dials for instrumentation, control systems, and industrial equipment. Our chemical etching process produces burr-free dials with razor-sharp markings that outperform laser engraving or screen printing in longevity and clarity. Ideal for applications requiring precise readability under harsh conditions.
Key Advantages
✔ Sub-micron precision - Crisp markings down to 0.01mm line width
✔ Material versatility - Stainless steel, aluminum, brass, specialty alloys
✔ Wear resistance - Etched markings won't fade or rub off
✔ Custom designs - No tooling costs for prototype iterations
✔ Multi-layer assemblies - Integrated backlighting windows
