Success Story 

Hilite's Northern Stamping division specializes in precision-stamped and welded components for automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, focusing on medium to large stampings with tight tolerances. Utilizing advanced metal stamping technologies and robotic welding, part identification and traceability are crucial for achieving zero defects. MECCO’s COUTH SuperFast dot peen markers are employed at inspection stations to mark parts with traceability information after passing quality tests. Some parts also feature a 2D Data Matrix for assembly sequencing. 

Hilite needed to mark 2D Data Matrix codes on components like crossmembers and trailer hitches, ensuring the marks remained readable even after e-coating. The rugged COUTH SuperFast system with the N20 marking head was implemented, resulting in increased productivity from high-speed marking and durable dark marks.
