Functionality Micropercussion

A full carbide pin oscillates by either pneumatic or electronic means. It is moved by two carriages in the x and y directions and impacts the material with an up and down movement. Depending on the impact frequency, the marking either becomes a continuous or a single dotted line – perfect for characters, logos or two-dimensional codes, e.g. Data Matrix Code.

The marking technique of placing single dots close to one another minimizes force effects on the material. This makes pin marking ideal for the marking of highly sensitive parts.

Pin marking is also named dotpeening or micro percussion.
