Dot Peen Marking is a method of permanently marking and identifying parts and components. Whilst these are usually metal parts, dot peen marking can be used on a wide range if different materials. A Dot Peen Marking Machine is the equipment used to apply this data, text, or logo. It...
Dot Peen Marking uses a stylus that rapidly actuates to indent a series of dots on to the surface of a material. The dot peen marking method is also known as dot marking, indenting, stylus pin marking and micro percussion marking. The stylus is programmed to move around the surface in x...
Part marking and verification Machine readable identification markings are an essential part of modern manufacturing, inventory control and asset tracking processes. But are you doing enough to verify the quality of your marks? Do you realise the possible consequences of not verifying their quality? A growing number of industries are recognising the...
ISO/IEC TR 29158 is an ISO specification regarding the quality of Direct Part Marks. It can be used in any application, but is common in automotive manufacturing and some military applications. The standard is based on ISO1415 which is a quality grading system for printed, black and white Data Matrix codes. The...
In 1936 the ATA (Air Transport Association) was formed to represent the aerospace industry. The ATA Spec 2000 is an international standard that was subsequently developed to improve communication and information flow between members of the interconnected global supply chain network. Now renamed as Airlines for America, the ATA continues...
