Types of Industrial Part Marking
When considering industrial part marking as a part of your product part identification and traceability it is important to consider the various industrial part marking types in order to choose the right part marking system.
MECCO offers the latest innovations in industrial part marking types for traceability, verification, and part identification in manufacturing, assembly, and other harsh environments.
MECCO features a full range of marking technology, including its exclusive Bumpy Bar Code technology and 2D Data Matrix with direct part marking by laser, dot peen, semi-automatic presses and manual marking tools. MECCO delivers marking solutions for forging, casting, injection molding, metal stamping, vacuum forming, engraving, and embossing applications that meet AIAG, UID, and SPEC 2000 marking requirements.
MECCO offers an array of custom direct part marking solutions for stand-alone and fully integrated systems.
2D Data Matrix Direct Part Marking
MECCO’s 2D Data MatrixTM traceability solutions meet and exceed all industry and military specifications for marking and varifying a direct part mark. Permanent, scanable codes deliver traceability that facilitates production automation, inventory management, lot control, quality control/defect containment, and error proofing.
Bumby Bar Code
Bumpy Bar Code® (BBC) is any linear bar code symbology that is marked on material to be read without the use of contrast. Typically, bar codes are read by readers that detect the difference between the bars and the background by the amount of visual contrast (or black and white difference) between them. Bumpy Bar Codes are those marks that are created to utilize their relief or “bumpy” aspect to determine where the bars and spaces reside within the code. This technology allows a mark with zero-contrast (white bars and white spaces or black bars and black spaces) to be read without paint, ink or special lighting.
These systems are computer controlled designed to meet customers’ requirements for short marking cycle time both on production lines and in other applications where there is little room for machine installation.
Whether it is marking 2D data matrix for UID compliance, tracking components via serial numbers, or simply adding logos to a product, MECCO’s laser systems provide complete marking and traceability solutions. MECCO offers a full laser marking product line that features:
In addition to a laser platform, MECCO offers customized turnkey and integrated systems. MECCO’s innovative designs allow for automated, high-speed marking, barcode verification and customized interfaces for ease of implementation and operation.
