Success Story 

Walkup Company, founded by William Walkup in 1944, produces oil field equipment and parts with a focus on quality standards and traceability. Initially, they used hand stamps for part identification, but this process became inefficient and unsafe due to the need for deep markings and the risk of injuries. In 2012, Walkup sought a better marking solution and chose the COUTH N-34 Series from MECCO. This dot peen marking system efficiently creates readable, deep marks in just five seconds per part, significantly reducing labor time and enhancing worker safety. 

The T2 controller allows for automatic serialization, further improving efficiency. Walkup appreciates the N-34’s versatility, including a magnet part attachment that facilitates marking in difficult areas, and its compact size makes it user-friendly compared to larger systems. MECCO's commitment to customer support and quality also stands out to Walkup. Their follow-up ensures proper implementation, making MECCO an ideal partner for Walkup Company. said Walkup.
