Dot peen marking

How Dot Peen Technology Works (Micro-Percussion Marking)

Dot peen marking operates using a pneumatically or electronically controlled stylus that strikes the material to create micro-indentations. The marking depth and density can be adjusted to fit various industrial applications. Thanks to precise CNC control, this technology ensures clear, legible, and permanent part marking on a wide range of materials.

There are different types of dot peen marking machines:

• Integrated systems – for automated production lines
• Benchtop models – for stationary workstations
• Portable devices – for marking large or immovable parts

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions About Dot Peen Marking

1. What Is the Dot Peen Marking Process?

Dot peen marking is a permanent engraving process using a CNC-controlled stylus to create micro-indentations on a material’s surface. This method ensures long-lasting readability without damaging the component.

2. What Is the Difference Between Laser Marking and Dot Peen Marking?

• Dot peen marking creates physical indentations, making it ideal for deep, durable markings.
• Laser marking alters the surface without physical contact, offering high-speed, high-contrast results but less depth.

3. What Is the Difference Between Shot Peen and Dot Peen?

• Dot peen marking is used for identification and traceability by engraving parts.
• Shot peening is a surface treatment process that strengthens materials by blasting them with high-speed shot particles.

4. What Is the Marking Depth of Dot Peen?

Dot peen marking depth typically ranges from 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm, while deep dot peen marking can exceed 1 mm, ensuring high visibility even after surface treatments.
