Dot Peen Pin Marking Solutions

Dot Peen marks can be produced by either electric or pneumatic pin marking systems.  A single pin or multi-pin device creates a specific dot pattern in each character.  There is a direct correlation between striking of the stylus and the X-Y movement of the head.

When programmed, Dot Peen can permanently mark information such as:

• Date/time stamping
• Part serialization
• Logos
• 2D Data Matrix bar code
• Operator identification.

Known for rugged simplicity, high-speed marking and deep engraving capabilities, Dot Peen markers deliver a mark that is permanent and includes programmable character depth and size. Dot Peen marking is also the least intrusive impact mark method.
