Technifor announces a 3D marking stylus for permanent dot peen marking able to easily follow the relief of every part to be marked. The marking solution allows to switch from different workpieces, irrespective of their own shape, marking sloping planes, out-of-flat surfaces, deformed surfaces and engraving also in recesses, hollows and difficult to reach places.
The stylus tip extends and retracts automatically following the relief with utmost precision, covering an amplitude of 16 mm performing stepped markings on different levels of the same workpiece in a single cycle, without needing an actuator nor moving the marking head. The device marks also cylindrical and curved workpieces and offers easy integration, with no more need for complex programming or costly Z axis on the marking head, producing Data Matrix codes in quality very close to the results obtained with electromagnetic technology, with perfect homogeneity and alignment of points, simplifying the code reading. The 3D stylus is compatible with the entire Technifor range of pneumatic machines.
