The chassis number, or VIN number, is a unique alphanumeric identification code, including a serial number, through which vehicle manufacturers can identify units produced worldwide. It consists of 17 digits and is like a fingerprint. It is not possible for another chassis to be marked with the same number. This is also used for registration, warranties, theft monitoring and identification with insurance companies.
How do you mark a VIN number?
The best and most suitable technologies for this application are microdot Automator ( see photo ) andsmear technology. The first allows alphanumeric codes to be marked through frequent or spaced dots on the metal surface of auto components. The second works through a tip that engraves "scratch," that is, continuously, with low noise.
