Schmidt pioneered roll marking well over sixty years ago, and we
can still support some of those earliest machines.
Roll marking is an alternative to press
marking. The term roll marking means just what it implies – the data,
legend, logo, part number, serial number, or any other
information is “rolled” onto the part rather
than stamped with a press – a practical solution
where fragile parts would be damaged or destroyed by heavy
stamping pressure.

| Schmidt
manufactures both hydraulic and pneumatic roll marking machines
in several different configurations. Light duty pneumatic
roll marking machines are available in tonnages up to 6,000
pounds. Heavy-duty hydraulic roll marking machines are available
up to 24,000 pounds. We can design and build custom pneumatic
and hydraulic roll marking machines, die holders and fixtures
to suit most any part and parts handling requirement. |

Shown at the right is a Schmidt Series 9 pneumatic roll
marking machine, an affordable, light duty roll marking unit
that offers clean pneumatic operation and outstanding performance
with lots of operating flexibility.
The compact, bench mount design of the Series
9 allows you to locate a roll marking machine close to the
operator, where marking can be achieved as part of another
operation, like inspection or assembly.

Benefits
of roll marking
In the roll marking process, there is just
a single contact point between the die and the part being
marked. Each character
in a legend is individually marked as the die rolls over
the part. As a result, roll marking machines need just enough
tonnage to indent one character per line of marking...and
no more.
|
|
By comparison, a stamping machine requires enough pressure
to indent the entire legend at one time. The result? Press
marking may require as much as 10 times more pressure than
roll marking.
