Chemical Etching Machine Manufacturer

A chemical etching machine is precision industrial equipment that uses chemical solutions to selectively remove material from metal sheets or PCBs, creating intricate patterns and circuits. It employs spray technology to achieve uniform, high-precision etching across the workpiece surface.

Etching machines can process various metals including stainless steel, copper, brass, aluminum, zinc, magnesium and titanium. Different etchants are used for specific materials to achieve optimal precision and results.

Consider these factors: (1) material type and thickness, (2) required precision and line resolution, (3) production volume, (4) available floor space, and (5) budget. Our engineers can help specify the optimal machine for your application.

Prices vary by size, automation level and specification. Entry-level machines start around $5,000, while fully automated industrial systems range from $15,000 to $50,000+. Contact us for a customized quotation based on your requirements.

Yes. We provide one-stop service including equipment installation, debugging, process parameter setup and operator training. Our technical team is available to support customers worldwide.

Conveyor spray etching machines typically achieve 25-50 microns per minute on copper with cupric chloride chemistry, and 15-30 microns per minute on stainless steel with ferric chloride. Modern conveyor lines hold plus or minus 5 percent uniformity across the chamber width through oscillating spray headers and baffle-controlled flow.

Production line/space resolution on a conveyorized spray etcher is typically 50-100 microns for PCB (cupric chloride) and 100-200 microns for metal (ferric chloride). With fine-grain photoresist and optimized chemistry, 25 micron line/space is achievable for flexible PCB and thin foil.

Spray etching uses pumped nozzles to deliver fresh etchant at high velocity to the workpiece, giving faster etch rate, better side-wall profile, and lower chemical consumption. Immersion etching submerges parts in a bath — slower, more isotropic, but better for delicate 3D parts and small batches.

A standard conveyor etching machine ships in 30-60 days from order. A full custom PCB etching line with pre-treatment, post-treatment, and wastewater treatment takes 90-150 days including installation, commissioning, and operator training. Containerized turnkey lines for export typically leave the factory 75-90 days after PO.
