Automotive Part Marking
Parts and assemblies that are manufactured by the automotive industry require identifying marks. These marks are often placed on the part as soon as it is produced. 2D codes such as serial numbers, data matrix, QR codes, bar codes, alphanumeric characters, logos and vehicle identification numbers (VIN) are required to be placed directly on the part.
Automotive Parts and Assemblies that are Permanently Marked:
- Asset Tags
- Engine Components
- Fuel Injection Components
- Metal Tags
- Oil System Components
- Powertrain Components
- Seating Structures
- Shock Towers
- Steering Components
- Suspension Components
- Transmission Components
- Vehicle Identification Numbers
- Wheels
- AND, MORE!
Direct part marking (DPM) is a manufacturing method to permanently mark parts with product information. This allows tracking of the parts and assemblies throughout the lifecycle. This can also assist in data logging for safety, warranty issues and fulfill regulatory requirements.
In recent years, automotive part marking has advanced and requirements have changed. Dot peen marking in the automotive industry has always been a step ahead in requirements and technology. From handheld dot peen markers to fully integrated systems, dot peen systems outperform every other marking system on the market today.
Advantages of Dot Peen Marking in the Automotive Industry:
- Affordable Systems
- Ease of Use
- High Contrast Marks
- High Performance Machines
- Highly Reliable
- Highly Visible Marks
- Low Maintenance Systems
- Repeatable
Parts that are round, convex, flat, small, large, shiny, treated, rough – can all be marked with a dot peen marking system. Thickness of the automotive part or assembly must be taken into account when applying dot peen marks so as not to weaken the part. Contact our knowledgeable staff to discuss your specific industrial application process.
Dot peen marking systems can be fully integrated into a production line, be a benchtop model or also come as a portable model.
