Direct Marking of Large, Unmovable Materials
Ideal for the direct marking of logos, test symbols and data matrix codes on large, unmovable parts, the portable MARKATOR FlyMarker mini marking system from Rocklin Manufacturing is a lightweight, handheld dot peen marker that can quickly and easily mark several materials with a hardness up to 63 HRC.
Fiber Laser Marker Converts High Pulse Frequencies into Short Marking Processes
Ideal for metal or plastic applications where high speed and superior edge quality are required, the TruMark 5020 fiber laser marker from TRUMPF has a highly dynamic scanner module that converts pulse frequencies up to 1 megahertz into a high processing speed.
Versatile, Affordable Turnkey CO2 Laser Marking Systems
Self-contained AutoLase CSG2-10 (CO2 10 Watt) and AutoLase CSG2-30 (CO2 30 Watt) turnkey laser marking systems from Automated Laser produce engraved, raised, and contrasting marks on a wide variety of materials, and need little more than a standard 120 volt power cord for operation.
Advanced Control of Dot Peen Marks
With increased flash memory and a faster/cooler processor, the AC500-3.0 Universal Dot Peen Controller for pneumatic, electric and scribe marking systems from Automator America can operate more competitors’ marking heads and has expanded abilities to operate and communicate with outside equipment, including control of any smart motor.
Streamlined Dot Peen Marking
Built with machine tool quality construction that is ideal for the most demanding applications with no PC or control box required, the 6-axis X Series dot peen marker from Kwik Mark uses a cantilevered marking head with a clear open line of sight that can retract “back” to clear other tooling and equipment.
