What are the various marking methods and tools?
There are multiple ways to mark parts and products. You can use hand stamps on smaller projects. This method is cheaper but slower and more labor intensive. If you need to mark a part with a sequence of dots, then a dot peen machine is a good idea. Then you have engraving machines that can cut grooves into hard surfaces, chemical etching machines that remove material, and laser marking machines that use a high-energy beam of laser radiation (fiber laser), to mark the surface of materials.
Why is part marking and traceability important?
Part marking and traceability are important to optimize industrial production and ensure internal and external quality control. Marked parts can be traced throughout their lifecycle and identified should they have a manufacturing defect. This practice optimizes production and can help reduce product recalls.
What is direct part marking?
Direct part marking (DPM) is when you permanently mark a barcode on certain materials like automotive parts, aerospace parts, electronics, or other parts made of materials like glass, plastic, metal, and even leather.
What products, parts, and items require permanent marking?
Every industry is unique and has marking requirements, and every company within an industry has individual marking needs. Products big and small need to be marked, from large aerospace, automobile, and weapon parts, to small electronic and handmade items like jewelry.
