For industrial use, there are various commercial-grade printers and dot peen marking solutions. Dot peen marking machines work by using an electromechanical carbide or diamond stylus to strike against different surfaces of parts that need to be marked with 2D data matrix codes or a combination of digits, logos, and text. Each dot is created by a pulsed current that travels through a solenoid, directs a magnet towards the target surface, and then returns the marking stylus to its starting point where it waits for the next pulse.
Notable Characteristics of the Patmark 2080
With each pulse occurring in a fraction of a second, you can complete a 2D data matrix code in a matter of seconds. The constant measuring of electric current between pulses is what makes the Patmark 2080 such a unique piece of machinery. This allows the user consistent, precise control of the impact. Other notable characteristics include:
- adjustable pulse frequency
- capable of marking any material,l even hardened steel
- compressed air not required
- cost-effectiveness
- high-speed accuracy
- no consumables required
Furthermore, the Patmark 2080 is the largest battery-operated, portable dot peen marking machine available on the market today and can mark on a broad range of surfaces from plastics to hardened metals. Connectivity is available using the included USB cable or through your local Wi-Fi. With the Patmark 2080’s easy-to-use software, you can create clean, clear markings as fine as 1mm. This works wonders in many industries wherein precision marking is important.
