Complete part traceability is an essential component for compliance with ISO quality standards. Choosing laser marking technology provides manufacturers witih a reliable method of automating marking operations, and ensures a high level of control over component traceability. Put simply, laser technology consists of a high frequency beam generated from a laser source. This beam is then amplified and directed towards a part to be marked via a series of rotating mirrors. Dot peen technology is a cost effective solution known for its high speed marking. by electromechanically striking a carbide or diamond stylus against the surface of a component, small dots of customizable depths can be made on any material, thus creating alphanumerics, data matrix codes, and even logos. Dot peen marking works by electromechanically striking a carbide or diamond stylus assembly against the surface of a part to be marked. The result is a succession of dots to create digits, text, logos, and 2D data matrix codes. Each such dot is the result of a pulsed current that runs through a solenoid, punches a magnet toward the surface, and subsequently returns the stylus to its starting position, awaiting the next pulse. Because each pulse occurs in only a fraction of a second, an entire 2D data matrix code, for example, can be completed in seconds (depending on the size).  SIC Marking's dot peen, scribe, laser, and vision technologies have made us a world leader in industrial marking.
