Marking with dot peen machines and scribing machines offer permanent, tamper-proof marking. All our marking tools are designed to be integrated solutions: they fit into any production process, to directly mark all metallic and plastic parts, whatever the shape or surface finish.
Gravotech invented dot-peen marking in 1981 to meet the growing industrial marking solutions need for coding and identification of industrial parts. Future-oriented, Gravotech continues to develop integrated solutions dedicated to the progress of industrial engraving and marking and offers several technologies: pneumatic, electromagnetic, or scribing. Our range of integrated dot peen marking machines and VIN punching machines are the most reliable and efficient on the market.
Our industrial marking solutions offer permanent, legible, and deep marking on metals and plastics at a low purchase cost and high return on investment. Their integration on production lines is quick and easy thanks to their compact design and full connectivity.
Pneumatic dot peen, electromagnetic dot peen and scribing – 3 technologies
Gravotech offers a wide range of easily integrated direct part marking machines (DPM) and scribing machines for the identification and traceability of your industrial parts.
As the inventor of dot peen technology in 1981, Gravotech has never ceased to expand its permanent marking tools know-how. Today we are able to offer our customers two types of dot peen technologies:
- Pneumatic - our pneumatic markers are the best for marking applications requiring a very short cycle time to meet the speed requirements of industrial sectors.
- Electromagnetic - the electromagnetic dot peen machines are more suitable for applications that need high-precision and consistency. These direct part marking machines are particularly recommended for DataMatrix code marking.
Scribing machines use a carbide or diamond tip to apply a permanent marking directly to the material, from plastic to the hardest steels (up to 62HRC).
Unlike with dot peen machines, the tip does not vibrate but slides along the surface, thus creating a continuous groove. The result is very clear and aesthetic. This marking tool process is very quiet, therefore particularly useful for marking hollow parts with high resonance, tubes, and sheets.
Our scribing machines combine effective electronics, software, and guarantee faultless production. With their robust build quality and limited maintenance needs, they are ideal for heavy industrial applications.
