Marcação industrial aplicada a uma peça metálica para identificação

Marcação mecânica e industrial de peças - marcação direta de peças

Descubra nossas máquinas de marcação por ponto e gravador industrial a laser!

A marcação em peças mecânicas é necessária para a identificação ou inscrição de dados informativos de seus produtos. Esta etapa de marcação é imprescindível para que as empresas industriais possam acompanhar o produto fabricado e garantir sua rastreabilidade ao longo de seu ciclo de vida. A necessidade de marcar as peças na fabricação é internacional e universal. Corresponde tanto a indústrias muito grandes que produzem componentes em alta produção, quanto a oficinas menores com uma produção de poucas unidades por dia. A maioria das indústrias hoje precisa identificar e codificar suas peças. A Gravotech trabalha em estreita colaboração com os indústrias para identificar peças como eixos, pinos, buchas, caixas, flanges, luvas, rolos, cubos, pinhões, pistões, empurradores, válvulas, etc.

Conscientes de que implantar um sistema de rastreabilidade de peças mecânicas é um desafio importante para essas empresas e que representa um investimento. A Gravotech disponibiliza estações de gravação chave na mão de diferentes tecnologias para marcação de peças, pequenas e médias séries, com custo controlado. - Grave seu logotipo, sua marca - Marque uma referência, um número de série, um número de lote, etc. - Identifique cada peça para monitorar seu rastreamento - Atenda aos padrões de qualidade e crie um sistema de rastreabilidade

Scribing machines offer unparalleled speed, quality, and reliability for industrial part marking, regardless of your production volume. These machines enable direct part marking on your components while significantly reducing noise levels. Their quiet operation meets the strictest noise control standards, making them the ideal industrial machines for steel marking, traceability marking, and production line applications.

  • XF510r: Silent, configurable scribing delivers high contrast, durable marking even after painting.
  • SV530: Deep, precise VIN-grade engraving (up to 0,3 mm - 0.01’’) for industrial traceability in harsh environments.

Advice on how to select the right industrial part marking machine

Your direct part marking needs vary depending on your company size and activity.
As a small company with punctual DPM needs, you might prefer a cheaper identification machine such as the Impact.

Depending on the sector, part marking might be mandatory and must comply with relevant standards and regulations to ensure product conformity. You might then prefer a high-speed integrable marking machine.

We are able to implement a "total quality" system, that allows parts to be associated with each production machine they go through.
We have the right industrial part marking solution to match your materials, production speed and mechanical parts specific characteristics.

Automotive production line with vehicle bodies and operators working in assembly zone

Your parts material is another criteria when choosing your part marking system.
Our marking machines are compatible with the following materials:

  • Metallic materials: steel, stainless steel, aluminum, tin, titanium, carbides…
  • Plastic materials: ABS, PA, PE, POM, PBT, PP…
  • Organic materials: ceramic, rubber, cardboard, wood…

Note: each of our laser markers, dot peen and scribing machines are compatible with some materials only. Contact an expert to determine which technology is the most appropriate.

The shape of your parts to be marked will highly influence the marking system choice as well.

  • Tubular metallic parts require a silent marking system to comply with noise regulation standards.
  • Long and flat parts need an open-structure marking system.
  • Circular or conic parts demand a marking machine equipped with a rotary device.
  • Finally, multishaped parts require an auto-focus marking system.

FAQ: the 4 questions most frequently asked of our experts

🔽What is the best industrial part marking system?

The optimal industrial part marking system depends on your production line and needs. 
Dot peen is often cost-effective and simple, providing durable, deep marking. 
However, laser marking is usually faster and is preferred for fragile parts or if noise is a concern. 
Gravotech offers both systems to meet any requirement.

🔽Does Direct part marking (DPM) withstand harsh environments?

Yes. Direct part marking is designed to resist demanding environments. Deep marking techniques like dot peen and scribing ensure marks last for decades, resisting abrasion, extreme temperatures, and chemical exposure for long-term traceability.

🔽How can I integrate DPM machines into automated production lines with traceability software?

Integration requires a feasibility study to address mechanical, electrical, communicability, and environmental constraints (e.g., CEM, vibration, transport, safety standards…). 
Contact a Gravotech expert (who possesses proven, decades-long expertise and robust technical knowledge) or an integrator for guidance on standards and deployment to ensure your solution is fully compliant and functional.

🔽What kind of information can be marked directly on a part?

Direct part marking can include human-readable text (e.g., serial number, team number, production date, facility ID, batch number, production location…) or 2D codes (DataMatrix or QR code) for automated scanning. 
The information marked depends on the company's traceability strategy and part constraints (as the expiration date).
