Wheel manufacturers have a unique challenge: Effectively marking parts with a unique identifier, while still fulfilling your need to continually improve operational efficiency. A track and trace solution can save you time and money — if you know the requirements.
Laser marking technology is becoming more and more important in all realms of manufacturing. One of the most common questions we get at MECCO is “How do I choose the right marking technology for my application?” Here are three main considerations to help you in choosing the best laser technology.
MECCO’s SMARTmark Fiber Laser Marking System can be integrated into various customized enclosure options like this 3-Position Rotary Workstation. Featuring Rockwell Automation controls and our Encompass Program referenced laser marker.
MECCO, a leader in the marking and traceability industry, has announced that they have joined Carnegie Mellon University’s Moon Arts Group in a collaborative effort to place a six-ounce capsule known as the MoonArk on the Moon.
MECCO’s laser and dot peen equipment marks a wide variety of parts throughout all industries to solve a host of application challenges. But what are the five most interesting things we marked this past year?
Portable marking equipment makes it easy to add traceability to a variety of parts, but pipes can be more complicated. MECCO has designed a bracket that is installed onto our hand held dot peen machine, and it is paired with a magnetic guide that goes on the pipe.
Making permanent marks of part numbers, lot codes and identifying information onto bearings can present unique challenges. To solve these needs, MECCO developed the Bearing Marking Station.
The permanent identification of a part for tracking purposes can be complicated depending on the part’s shape. Round parts, such as pipes, flanges, and couplings, require unique marking equipment to ensure a quality mark around the diameter.
To overcome today’s industrial challenges, manufacturers need to work smarter by connecting the factory. They need to increase efficiency, reduce costs, and increase quality. All of these goals can be accomplished using an integrated track and trace system.
MECCO’s dot peen markers are versatile and durable, but in some environments, an impact marker can be too loud. One customer wanted to take advantage of the mark quality and speed, but had strict requirements for the noise level and safety surrounding the marking equipment.
