Marking
Marking mechanical parts is essential for identifying or recording information on manufactured products, thus guaranteeing their traceability throughout their life cycle.
Application of any warranties, maintenance, repair, after-sales service and reconditioning are facilitated by this identification, which gives both the manufacturer and the user access to design and manufacturing data.
Press marking to identify a product or part facilitates its traceability: numbering or marking of different shapes and sizes can be achieved using customised accessories and equipment.
Specific features of impact marking presses
An industrial marking press is a specialised machine designed to engrave and mark information on parts, plates or products.
To do this, it uses a punch or die to apply controlled pressure and inscribe precise data, such as numbers, logos or technical information, on a given material (metal, plastic, etc.).
Operation is based on a simple process. Once the part to be marked has been correctly positioned on the press table, pressure is applied using a manual lever or a pneumatic system.
Two types of EMG marking presses can be used to engrave a product according to customer requirements:
The range of manual marking presses will meet demand for small production runs, such as engraving small to medium-sized nameplates or personalising parts or products in small quantities.
The range of pneumatic marking presses is particularly suited to larger production runs. This type of press is used to engrave data on more resistant materials, on larger surfaces or to produce larger series.
Finally, the range of hydropneumatic presses can be used to produce markings of greater size and depth, so that they remain visible even after treatment or painting.
A marking press: a dedicated industrial press
The use of a marking press offers many advantages for industrial and craft activities requiring optimum precision, speed and increased productivity. The flexibility of the mechanical percussion process means it can be used for one-off or mass production marking.
Marking can be carried out on different types of material to include advertising, mandatory information or a logo on a product.
Whether it's to engrave information, personalise a product or meet traceability standards, a marking press is an essential tool for manufacturers wishing to combine quality and efficiency in their operations.
EMG marking presses can also be used for riveting or crimping applications, where the operation requires impact over a short stroke.
How do I choose the right marking press?
The main feature to bear in mind when choosing a marking press is its power. This information will determine the number of characters or the size of the punch that the press can deliver to obtain maximum quality marking.
The power is adjustable according to the tension of the striking spring, but it remains constant and regular after adjustment. It remains precise whatever the force applied to the lever, thus avoiding damage to the part.
Choosing the right power allows you to engrave the desired content with quality and consistency, particularly when marking mass-produced parts.
