Traditional Marking Machines and Tooling

SCHMIDT has been a worldwide leader in traditional marking since 1895. Since our doors first opened, we have made it our priority to build marking tools that endure, to design machines that enhance our customers products, and to service those manufacturers with quality they can rely on.

Today, we still proudly design and manufacture traditional marking machines, including Roll Marking Machines and Press Marking Machines, as well as Steel Marking Tools for a wide variety of industries.

These robust marking machines are designed for quick installation, easy operation, and long marking life.

Why use Traditional Marking? For applications requiring a mark that is very deep, very clean and very quick.

	Hydraulic Roll Marking Machines For marking applications that require additional power and force. Great for deep and fast marking on round or flat parts. Can be equipped with part feeding systems, safety controls and light curtains. Applications include: bearing races, shaft splines, military ordnance, gas cylinders and more.
	Pneumatic Roll Marking Machines For marking flat or round parts with minimal tonnage requirements. An economical alternative to hydraulic roll marking when heavy force is not required. Can be used on flat or round parts, soft or hard metals. Application examples include: firearms, shock absorber tubes, hand tools, and more.
	Rotary Roll Marking Machines For the high speed, high production marking on the periphery of round cylindrical parts. Can be equipped with bowl feeders, gravity chute feeds, hoppers, and pick and place systems. Easy to automate or integrate into a production line. Applications include: sockets, welding tips, screws, drills, cable ferrules, aircraft nuts and more.
	Press Marking Machines SCHMIDT's Air over oil press marker uses pneumatic air pressure to rapidly move the ram, while hydraulic pressure is used to slowly squeeze the impression into your part. Produces clear and legible marks with a smooth and quiet operation. No electrical requirements. Applications include: dental alloys, keys, knife blades, railroad wheels and more.
