Pin Marking

WHAT IS DOT PEEN PIN MARKING?

Pin marking (also referred to as stylus marking and dot peen marking) is the use of a pneumatic or electromechanically controlled carbide tip assembly that strikes the surface of a part in a sequence of dots to produce a permanent mark. Depending on the type of pin assembly, power settings, and marking speed parameters, pin marking can create light, moderate or deep marks on the surface of parts. Pin marking is ideal for most metals and some hard plastics.  

GT SCHMIDT offers several pin marking machine options including column-mounted desktop machines, portable hand-held systems, or integratable marking heads.  All pin marking machines can be equipped with a variety of accessories and custom options or customize to fit your exact needs.
