Marking for Military & Defense

PART MARKING SYSTEMS FOR THE MILITARY AND DEFENSE INDUSTRY

The United States Department of Defense requires all equipment and parts sold to the military have permanent unique identification marks (UID). There are several specifications that must be met to be considered a proper mark. Even the material, types, and location of marks, and proper identifiers must be applied. These rules are mandatory for all contractors responsible for the sales and distribution of various products, parts, and other assets sold to the government.

MARKING MACHINES & ENGRAVING SYSTEMS

At GT SCHMIDT, we specialize in designing, manufacturing, and integrating industrial marking machines for product identification and traceability applications. Our comprehensive range of marking and engraving systems includes standard in-stock models, as well as custom-designed solutions tailored to meet the specific size and application requirements of your parts.

Our machines provide:

Product Identification: Permanent marks serve as unique identifiers for military parts and components, allowing them to be distinguished from one another and ensuring accurate inventory management.
Quality Control: Permanent marks can include information such as part numbers, serial numbers, and manufacturing dates, which are essential for quality control and defect tracking. By having this information readily available, manufacturers can quickly identify and address any issues that may arise during production or in-service use.
Regulatory Compliance: Manufacturers must comply with stringent regulations and industry standards governing part identification and traceability. Permanent marks help ensure compliance with these requirements.

For contract manufacturers of the military, following the compliance identification requirements is critical. GT SCHMIDT can provide the marking machinery to help you meet these detailed specifications for part identification. We manufacture laser marking and pin marking systems that can mark a wide variety of material including metals, plastics, painted and coated surfaces. All of our marking machines are capable of marking 1D barcodes and 2D data matrices as well as serial numbers, date codes, manufacturing identification, logos and any custom identifiers.
