Aerospace Part Marking & Engraving 

MARKING PARTS FOR AEROSPACE AND AIRCRAFT COMPONENTS

Permanent marks play a critical role in aerospace manufacturing by facilitating traceability, identification, quality control, regulatory compliance, safety assurance, and counterfeit prevention. 

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the US Department of Defense (DOD) require that certain aerospace parts and components be permanently marked with Unique Identification Marks (UID). These marks guarantee authenticity and traceability throughout the manufacturing process and lifetime use of the equipment.

By ensuring essential information is permanently recorded on aerospace parts, manufacturers can uphold the highest standards of quality, reliability, and safety in the aerospace industry.

Marking Machines & Engraving Systems

GT SCHMIDT designs, manufactures, and integrates industrial marking machines for product identification and traceability applications. Our marking machine and engraving systems are available as standard in-stock models but we can also design a custom marking system to meet your specific part size and application requirements.

 

BENEFITS OF LASER MARKING AEROSPACE COMPONENTS

  • Permanent and Durable Markings: Laser marking creates highly durable markings that are resistant to wear, corrosion, and fading. This ensures that the UID remains legible throughout the lifespan of the aerospace part, meeting strict industry requirements for traceability and accountability.
  • High Precision and Accuracy: Laser technology provides exceptional precision and accuracy, capable of intricate UID markings with precise dimensions and fine details. This is crucial for maintaining readability and ensuring accurate identification of parts, even in complex aerospace assemblies.
  • Non-contact and Non-destructive: Laser marking is a non-contact process that does not require direct contact with the surface of the part, minimizing the risk of damage or deformation. This is particularly important for aerospace components, where surface integrity must be preserved to maintain structural integrity and performance.

ROTARY ROLL MARKING AEROSPACE COMPONENTS

  • High-Speed Production: Rotary roll marking machines are capable of high-speed operation, allowing for rapid and efficient marking of aerospace parts. This enables manufacturers to meet demanding production schedules and minimize production lead times.

  • Consistent and Uniform Markings: Rotary roll marking machines provide consistent and uniform UID markings across a large volume of aerospace parts. The rotational motion of the marking tool ensures even pressure and contact with the surface of the part, resulting in precise and legible markings.

  • Cost-Effective Solution: Rotary roll marking machines offer a cost-effective solution for UID marking, particularly for high-volume production runs. The efficiency of the process helps reduce labor costs and increase overall production efficiency, contributing to lower manufacturing expenses.
