What Exactly Is a Dot Peen Marking Machine?
A dot peen marking machine is a tool that uses either pneumatic or electric power to drive a carbide or tungsten carbide stylus or pin. This tool creates permanent marks on different types of surfaces. These machines are widely used in manufacturing and industrial settings because they allow manufacturers to add important information to parts, such as dates, serial numbers, logos, 2D Data Matrix barcodes, and operator IDs. These marks not only help with branding and identification but also improve tracking and traceability throughout a part's entire lifecycle.
Pin markers are incredibly powerful tools that make a significant impact on manufacturing, both physically and symbolically. They can mark everything from plastics to hardened steel.
Benefits of pin marking include:
- Durable and permanent marks that can endure tough conditions
- High-speed operations
- Options for electric or pneumatic operation
- Portable designs
- Ability to mark metals and some hard plastics
- Cost-effective
Today, we’ll explore the various dot peen machines offered by MECCO.
What Sets Vibra Peen Apart from Dot Peen?
Vibra Peen is a trademark owned by MECCO. This innovative marking method is unique to MECCO's pneumatic pin marking systems. The stylus moves up and down cyclically at a steady pace of 80 to 100 cycles per second, resulting in marks without a clear dot pattern.
Why do so many of our clients prefer this technique over traditional dot peen marking? Vibra Peen creates deep, clear, and permanent marks on various surfaces and materials very quickly. It’s suitable for a wide range of industries and applications. Compared to our competitors, we can produce marks much faster.
In a direct test, we achieved a mark in just 4.2 seconds, whereas they took 12.1 seconds. This makes our Vibra Peen marker one of the fastest and most compact options available in the industry.
Types of Dot Peen Markers: Standard Dot Peen Marking Machine
Our Standard Series Dot Peen Machine embodies over fifty years of expertise and innovation in the field. This advanced dot peen marker, available in electric or pneumatic models, creates marks by producing a series of microdots through what’s called "dot peen" marking, or by using a vibrating stylus in a method known as "vibra peen" marking.
The Standard Series offers the largest window sizes on the market, making it a highly versatile choice known for its reliable performance and robust mechanics. This machine can engrave a wide variety of characters and symbols in different sizes and depths.
Types of Dot Peen Markers: SuperFast Dot Peen Marking Machine
The SuperFast is the next generation of dot peen markers, featuring Vibra Peen technology that pulses the pin 80 times per second to create a solid, readable character. The result is a high-quality mark similar to an engraving. By combining Vibra Peen technology with the patented Y-axis pivot system of the SuperFast dot peen marker, you can achieve higher quality marks in a fraction of the time.
With maximized speed and reliability, the patented design of the SuperFast Dot Peen Marking Machine allows you to achieve marking times that outperform traditional stamping technologies. Traditional stamping, via a carbide pin mounted on an XY linear system, produces lower resolution marks as it moves slowly to indent at fixed dot locations.
Types of Dot Peen Markers: Dot Peen Marking Machines for Deep Marking
The N-34 Dot Peen Marker is a heavy-duty machine designed for deep marking applications required in the structural steel and oil & gas industries. The N-34 Series enables part traceability and identification to withstand harsh environmental conditions, with the ability to create marks of 0.05mm on steel and aluminum when marking at optimal speed. When it comes to permanent traceability in all conditions, pin marking's ability to deliver on deep marking keeps parts marked from cradle to grave. Providing fast and deep marks, using the appropriate head size, dot peen & Vibra Peen marks are readable even after painting, galvanizing, or plating.
Dot peen deep marking is an ideal solution for marking pipes, tubes, flanges, and various parts used in both indoor and outdoor manufacturing processes. This method ensures that parts remain traceable even in extreme conditions such as high heat, cold, and other challenging environments. It is particularly well-suited for applications in metal fabrication, agricultural machinery, and the oil and gas industries. The N-34 is equipped with a marking head that offers operational flexibility in any position, making it highly suitable for marking large parts with ease and portability.
Pin Marking Beyond Dot Peen: Scribe Marking
Scribe marking is a process that uses a pneumatic system to press down and drag across the surface of a part. It is driven by X and Y stepper motors. The depth of the mark is controlled by air pressure and the size of the marking head. Scribe marking is an alternative to dot peen marking and uses drop and drag pin technology to create a continuous, readable, clear mark at a quieter operating decibel level while producing a high-quality mark.
Our Scribing Machines create high-quality, permanent marks quickly and quietly. By dragging a carbide-tipped stylus across the surface of a part, this system can create a smoother-looking mark. The cost-effective Scriber is the next generation of dot peen marking. Chosen for their ability to create aesthetically pleasing, permanent marks at low noise levels, these industrial scribe markers will mark letters, numbers, graphics, and logos on many materials, including metals and some plastics.
