Marking is a process of marking the surface of the workpiece in both 2D and 3D. To make a mark / marking on a product, a marking machine is needed that matches the desired output.
Check out the explanation of the following marking machine.
What is a Marking Machine?
A marking machine is an industrial tool used in the creation of text, graphics, labels, logos, and codes on products. Each type of marking machine has a different mechanism for making marks. Some of these mechanisms are stamping, engraving, ink, and etching.
Marks like logos, names, serial numbers, bar codes generated by the marking machine are permanent. Usually, these signs are created for tracking or branding purposes.
Marking Machine Function
The marking machine is used to make image patterns or marks on parts of a product. The marking results can be in the form of dots or lines, adjusted to the shape of the product to be made based on the existing sketch. Usually used to print part numbers, barcodes, and other markings on a product.
Types of Marking Machines
In general. there are six types of marking machines:
1. Dot Peen Marking Machine
The dot peen marking machine (dot pin marking machine) is a marking machine that works with an electromechanical system through the back-and-forth movement of the stylus against the surface of the workpiece. This machine produces output in the form of a collection of dots that form numbers, text, and logos. The dot peen marking operation can be performed on metal or plastic materials with a fast duration.
2. Laser Marking Machine
A laser marking machine (laser engraving machine) is a marking machine that uses a high-energy laser beam. This laser beam is focused so that it hits the surface of the workpiece, both from metal materials such as aluminum and steel, as well as plastic materials (eg ABS, PBT, and others).
This machine works automatically and can be controlled by software to mark patterns precisely and quickly so that there is no direct contact between the machine and the mechanic during the laser process.
3. Scribe Marking Machine
A scribe marking machine uses a stylus with a hard tip such as carbide. During the marking operation, the stylus will penetrate the surface of the workpiece and be dragged along the surface to form lines and indentations. This machine uses a coordinate system to direct the stylus according to the pattern or mark you want. The marks produced by the scribe marking machine are permanent and clear, both on concave, sloping, or irregular surfaces.
4. Manual Marking Machine
A manual marking machine is a marking machine with a pneumatic system that works manually or by mechanical means. This machine can be used to mark plastic, metal, paper, or aluminum coatings. Printing marking with this machine can be done by hitting or pressing the surface.
