Rotary roll marking machines are ideal for making marks on cylindrical or tapered round parts in high-speed, high-production applications with minimal changeover. Parts are rolled across a concave type holder, applying enough pressure while doing so to create an impression. The resulting mark is less uniform than a traditional roll marker, but three times the number of parts can be marked within the same amount of time. Rotary roll markers can accept parts up to four inches in diameter, though custom-designed units can be made for larger diameters. Marking application examples include parts such as sockets, welding tips, screws, drills, rods, flange nuts & lock nuts, and more.
Our Series 19, Series 20, and Series 255 rotary roll marking machines are easy to automate or integrate into a production line. These machines can be equipped with a variety of part-feeding systems like bowl feeders, gravity chute feeds, hoppers, and carrier dials which provide a continuous marking cycle that reduces part handling and minimizes or eliminates labor.
Is rotary roll marking technology the right approach for your product identification and traceability needs? Learn more about your rotary roll marking options below or contact us to discuss your marking application. We'll help you find the best marking solution for your exact needs.
The Series 19 was designed specifically for drills and rods. These vertical-dial machines roll mark the outer diameter of parts that cannot stand on their own.
The carrier dial picks up each part and transports it through the marking station, where it is rolled between the marking die and the pressure dial. Parts are automatically unloaded by gravity.
The Series 20 is a high-speed system that marks cylindrical parts or heavy-walled tubes that can stand on end or be fitted into slots in the carrier dial.
Parts are loaded at random onto the horizontal, rotating carrier dial, which transports them through the marking station. Parts must be free to roll and strong enough to withstand marking pressure.
The Series 255 makes deep marks in cylindrical parts made of soft metals (e.g., aluminum, brass) and light marks in hard metals (e.g., mild steel). Mark up to two rows of characters on parts up to 4" in diameter (for bigger parts, contact us for consultation at 847-647-7117). Accessories include a safety cage to keep foreign objects out of the marking area and part feeders for faster, efficient marking - hundreds of parts in just minutes!
Tell us about your marking application and let us know which of our rotary roll marking machines you would like to learn more about. One of our product identification specialists will reach out with the information you need and make sure you get the right machine for your marking application.
Wedge type is used in a concave type holder for rotary roll marking on the periphery of round cylindrical parts. Wedge steel type is a specialty type and is not carried in stock. We can custom manufacture wedge type, please contact customer service for lead time and pricing.
