Technology introduction:
The primary method used to produce machine-readable symbols for Direct Part Marking identification (or traceability) is laser marking, dot peening, and scribing. Important factors can influence the marking process decision such as :
- Part life expectancy
- Material composition
- Environmental wear and tear
- Production volume
- Part characteristics : Size, shape, surface texture, surface treatment, hardness…
- Amount of data to be encoded
- Available space
- Location of the mark
- Post production processes
Laser marking technology
Laser technology: a cutting edge solution for marking ! See related video.
Traceability of parts is essential for compliance with ISO quality standards. Laser marking allows manufacturers to automate marking operations and ensure a high level of control.

Dot peen technology
Dot peen technology: high speed and cost effective marking. See related video.
Dot peening is achieved by electromechanically striking a carbide or diamond stylus assembly against the surface of the part to be marked.

Scribing technology
Scribing technology: precision and quiet marking. See related video.
Marked directly into the material -even the hardest steels-, the mark (text, logo) is produced by a carbide or diamond tip that penetrates and indents the surface.
