Dot Peen Marking Machines
Dot peen marking machines indent a permanent mark into metal with a stylus — serials, logos, 2D codes and nameplates, including on rough or coated parts. Two formats: benchtop for parts that come to a station, handheld for parts that stay on the floor.
Who this family is for
Use dot peen when the ID must survive paint, handling or abuse — automotive, aerospace, fabrication, tools, pipes and plant. Running cost is a stylus, not a laser tube.
It is the wrong first choice for fine jewellery faces, for high-contrast logos on clean metal with no indent, and for plastics and PCBs. See gold fiber , fiber and UV .
How it works
A pneumatic or electromagnetic stylus strikes a dot matrix. Depth is typically 0.1–1 mm, material dependent. Controllers are standalone or PC-linked (USB / serial). The stylus is a wear item.
