MARKING TECHNOLOGY SELECTION GUIDE

A permanent marking solution close to your application.

No marking projects are the same to permanently identify its component, part or products.
Selecting the best direct marking technology for the application is critical to achieving success. Since each technology has its own advantages and limitations, we offer you a first a view of what could be a first level of selection based on 5 major marking criteria: speed, quality, depth of marking with their own level of noise and investment. This Technology selection diagram will guide you in our 4 complete lines of products for Direct Part Marking Identification.
No diagram will ever replace experiment on your sample parts. Technifor sample department is waiting for your parts to validate the quality and marking performance of our marking machines on your parts.
Technifor - Micro-percussion
MICRO-PERCUSSION
An economical marking solution for electronically controlled identification.
Rapid indent marking uses a hardened stylus to indent the surface of the components. The stylus is handled so as to produce alphanumeric text, 2D machine-readable codes, symbols, logos or virtually any other type of mark. An extensive range of materials can be marked, including plastic, glass, leather, paper, wood, expanded polystyrene, and most metals except hardened steels.

   Advantages



Technifor - Scribing
SCRIBING
Quality marking without the noise.
Scribing machines use a hardened pin to mark the surface of components. Compared with MicroPercussion, scribed marks have a smoother, more continuous appearance. The marks therefore benefit from a higher quality appearance and the marking process is quieter. Controllers and programming software are the same as for Technifor's rapid indent machines.

With its 5 micron resolution the laser can mark 2D codes measuring just 0.5 mm wide, making it suitable for the medical and pharmaceutical industries.
