Styliner® Mark3® and Mark4® Pin Marking Systems
Engineering and Machine Capabilities
The Styliner® Mark3® and Mark4® dot peen marking systems are fully programmable with a wide range of capabilities. The Mark3 and Mark4 dot peen pin markers can function as semi-automatic, (operator hand loads/unloads parts into the marking area), or they can be fully automated with a part feeding/material handling system, eliminating the need for operator interface. Click to watch "pick and place" part feeding video.
The standard Mark3® and Mark4® dot peen stylus pin is pneumatic in operation. Schmidt also offers an electric operating model as an option. The marking speed of all our dot peen markers is variable and can be increased for high speed, high productivity part marking, or reduced for a fine quality continuous line appearance, suitable for finished parts. All systems include the capability of repeat marking of the same part, for increased mark depth.
The Styliner® Mark3® and Mark4® pin marking systems are 4 axis capable. The marking machines incorporate “Z” axis capability, for marking depth adjustability, and part height variance. The “Z” axis can be manual or automatic in operation. Optional “R” axis capability is available for rotary marking round parts. Click here to watch a video of our Styliner pin marking a round part.
The Styliner® series is also available in portable hand held and separate marking heads for integration.
