Type holder glossary.

Hand style type holders

Hand style type holders are generally used for marking a single straight line of steel type characters, although special models are available to accommodate marking "radially" (in a circle) and multiple straight lines of characters.

Shank style type holders

Shank style type holders are used in punch presses, press marking machines and have also been used in roll marking applications when a shank style tool can be safely accommodated. Available from stock for most single line applications to accommodate straight type characters from 1/16" through 1/4" - please see the chart on the Shank Style page for availability.

Round type holders (or Knurl type holders)

These type holders are designed for roll marking of flat parts and accommodate knurl type (segments of type machined from a steel ring). Single line standard holders are available from stock to accommodate up to 5/32" type. Please see the the chart on the Round type holders page for availability.

Straight type holders

Straight type holders are used for roll marking of round parts as well as for press, squeeze or impact marking of flat or round parts. The most common configurations accommodate straight grooved type and are single line, although we can design and manufacture multi-line holders. Mounting is dependent upon the application - the most common is T-bolt mounting for Schmidt models 175, 175-6, 175-MPC, 365, 377, 477, 575, 575-MPC, 577, series 12 and model 660. Please see the chart on the Straight type holders page for availability.

Radial type holders

 
Radial type holders are are designed and manufactured to specific customer requirements and are available in either hand or shank style. This style of type holder is used for marking in a circle on flat parts. Radial type holders require the use of radial step type.
