A dot-peen marking machine is a versatile device used for engraving permanent, precise, and clear markings on a variety of materials from soft plastics to hardened steel. This technology operates by employing a pin made of hard materials like carbide or tungsten carbide that pneumatically or electromagnetically impacts the surface to be marked, creating a series of dots in a controlled and efficient manner. The dots form characters, logos, or 2D Data Matrix codes, ensuring that the information remains legible even in harsh industrial environments.
Dot-Peen Marking
One of the key advantages of dot-peen marking is its non-contact nature, which means there is no debris or chips, unlike traditional engraving methods. This results in a smooth finish without the need for additional processes like sanding. Items with dot-peen markings truly stand the test of time as they will withstand painting, galvanizing, and other forms of wear and tear.
Industrial Dot-Peen Marking
Dot-peen marking machines come in various configurations, including handheld for large or immobile items, benchtop for smaller parts, and integrated versions for automated production lines. The technology is particularly beneficial for industries that require reliable traceability of parts and products, such as the automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing sectors. In some instances, an all-weather industrial strength label can suffice, however in more harsh environments, the dot peen markings will last as long as the item.
