Punch Marking

The Punch Marker provides impact impressions on the surface of mild steel, stainless steel, or Aluminium. The punch operates by extending with air pressure and retracting with a spring. It is best for material 6 mm or thicker, and is ideal for marking layout lines or hole locations.

Two modes of operation are normally associated with Punch Marking:

Centre punch for drilled hole location - Using the machine control, the punch is properly positioned using offset commands. The depth of the punch can be controlled using the dwell command for a punch up to 0.25 mm.

Scribe lines for secondary operations - Marks for weldments, bend lines, or assembly locations can be created using a high frequency function for the reciprocating pin (9000BPM). The Marker moves along a pre-programmed path, and depending on speed chosen, will create a line or a series of dots.
