Dot peen marking is ideal for manufacturers who need a permanent mark for traceability.
There is a constant demand on manufactures to ensure that all parts, components, products are traceable and with constant regulation updates having an onsite traceability marking machine can be both time and economically efficient.
What is Dot Peen Marking?
Dot peen marking is the process by which a dot peen marking machine uses a pneumatically driven pin to stamp a series of small dots to form an identification mark.
The mark made is of both excellent mark quality and very clear to read. The machine works fast but exerts minimal force on the part making it a low-stress form of indent marking.
The benefits of dot peen marking are numerous. Marks are accurate, consistent, high quality and permanent. The machines are easy to operate and fast. The depth of the mark can be adjusted easily for deeper marks.
