Dot Peen marking (or pin stamping) is a common expression referring to a permanent, direct part marking process that uses a carbide pin to indent the marking surface with text, logos and 2D Data Matrix barcodes. These marking machines deeply engrave data, delivering a durable mark even in the harshest production environments. Dot peen marks can also be read after painting or galvanizing.
Their versatility allows them to mark on a wide range of surfaces, from plastic to hardened steel, up to 65Hrc.
BENEFITS OF PIN MARKING
High-powered pin marking machines help you create marking, traceability, anti-counterfeiting and a range of other critical marking types.
The benefits of pin marking include:
- Durable permanent signs that can withstand harsh environments
- High speed processing
- Electric or pneumatic options
- Portable design
- Marks metals and some hard plastics
- Cost-effective
PIN MARKING AND TRACEABILITY
An increasingly complex supply chain and regulatory environment has made traceability an essential part of production. Our pin marking machines provide deep, permanent, readable markings, ensuring complete traceability information no matter what the conditions.
Pin marking systems can be integrated directly into factory automation networks and connect operations with invaluable track and trace data. This valuable information allows you to make more informed decisions in real time.
PIN MARKING MATERIALS
Thanks to its strength and versatility, pin marking technology is well suited for a variety of materials, including
- Aluminum
- Rice
- Copper
- Nickel plated / galvanized
- Plastics
- Powder coated / painted
- Stainless Steel
- Steel
PIN MARKING APPLICATION TYPES
DEEP MARKING
Providing fast and deep markings, dot peen markings can be read even after painting, galvanizing or coating. This application is ideal for pipes, tubes, flanges and all parts used in indoor and outdoor manufacturing.
POINT HIT
Dot peen markings are the least intrusive method of impact marking and can be produced with electrical or pneumatic systems. Manufacturers across industries can add permanent part information such as date/time stamping, part serialization, logos, 2D Data Matrix barcode and operator identification for enhanced tracking and traceability.
LOW VOLTAGE STABILIZATION
To maintain the strength and durability of a part, dot peen machines can add low-stress marking that prevents the strength of a part from being compromised. This type of pin marking can be done on a range of materials in various industries.
BOOT
Matal engraving machines are a pneumatic system that presses down and drags the part material. A machine with an X, Y stepping motor is controlled by the depth, air pressure and size of the marking head. This system produces a high quality mark at a reduced noise level.
