Marking Machinery Terms
– A code used in the identification
of products through electronic scanning, consisting of a sequence of
parallel lines that vary in width. The spacing between the individual
bar lines also varies.
– The slant from the surface
of an engraved character to the background is referred to as the first,
or character, bevel. The second bevel is the clearance taper, or sighting
angle, which is usually a 45-degree angle on each side of the hand stamp.
– Impressing a stamp or die to the background of the
characters or design. Bottoming also refers to the ironing out of metal
displaced by a stamping die.
– In marking systems, the individual letter or number
marked upon an object. Character faces and styles vary.
– A frame of metal in a hot stamping press that holds the
die in place during the stamping process.
– A process in which a mark is burned onto a product
through the application of a screen and an acid.
– In marking machines, a metal plate onto which a design or
image is etched or engraved to be stamped, rolled or printed onto a product.
– Also called “dot peening,” it is a type
of micro-percussion marking system in which sequences of dots are used
to mark an object according to design requirements.
– A process in which a metal plate is coated with wax through
which lines are cut. A corrosive acid is applied, which removes the metal
under the lines.
– In hot stamping, a thin,
flexible material consisting of a coat of color that transfers to the
stamped product during the stamping process.
– A steel stamp that engraves a design onto an object
by striking the stamp with a hammer. Hand stamps are useful when producing
low volumes of products.
– The process of transferring a special ink
based on a sublimating dye to the inside of molded parts. Impregnation
printing is useful in applications requiring wear resistance.
– Marking system in which a mist of ink is transferred
to an object to mark the object according to design requirements.
– A stamp or type placed with a piece of marking equipment,
such as a die, to produce a particular design or image.
– An image or design created by engraving the design onto
a metal plate and filling the recessed design with ink. A damp piece
of paper is then pressed against the plate in a roller press, producing
a reverse image on the paper.
– A depression or cavity in a die into which an insert
is placed.
– A device that marks products with multiple characters
simultaneously for fast and consistent identification.
– The process of
transferring ink to a molded part by filling ink in a plate in which characters
are engraved hollow, moving it to a pad and pressing the pad on the face
of the molded part; the ink is then cured by thermal treatment, ultraviolet
treatment or other curing processes.
– A die that can be heated to a temperature
sufficient for burning characters or designs into wood, leather and other
materials.
– A marking device that is pressed or hit into a material.
Steel stamps include hand stamps, press stamps and stamp marking kits.
– A number code below the bar
code that consists of 14 numbers, which provide product identification.
– A unique combination of letters
and numbers created by a vehicle manufacturer to accurately identify
a vehicle.
