Programmable Indent Marking

Matthews ProPoint programmable indent marking systems are economical, reliable solutions for permanent product identification, quality control and traceability marking applications. The ProPoint models combine the ultimate in flexibility, rugged industrial construction and superb mark quality to give you a reliable system for your product identification needs. The Pro·Point is the perfect choice when you need to permanently mark plastics and metals up to 50 Rockwell C with product information, serial numbers, date and time codes, and logos.

Microprocessor controlled, the ProPoint fires a single carbide-tipped stylus to form legible dot matrix characters. Precise dot spacing and XY-axis controls give the user the flexibility to produce high-quality marks in character sizes from 1/32" to 2".

Designed for the novice computer user, marking set up and operation is easy with the menu-driven software and on-line help keys. All marking information is saved in a database for instant retrieval.

The ProPoint can be mounted in is optional benchtop base for stand-alone operation or with brackets for in-line marking applications.

Roll marking is used in applications where larger characters, longer legends and greater marking force are required and cannot be achieved by the press indenting method. With the proper tooling, roll marking can mark metal products with flat, concave, convex, recessed, round, cylindrical and conical surfaces.

During the marking cycle, the ram travels vertically downward. As the die touches the part, the first character is indented until a preset pressure is reached. The marking head travels across the part, maintaining a constant pressure across the entire surface. This assures uniformity of marking depth, regardless of variations in part thickness or shape. After indenting, the marking head returns to home position. A Dove Tail holder is used to mark around the circumference of round parts and a roller die is used to indent on flat parts.

Matthews offers a broad range of stock and custom type, dies and holders as part of the Indent-A-Mark line of indenting systems. The Versa-Dex carriage marks flat parts and is designed for use with both solid roll dies and mortise roll type holders using interchangeable type and dies. The Flat Roll Holder indents round parts and can be used with interchangeable type and dies.

Matthews fixtures position and securely hold the part during the marking cycle to ensure accurate location and alignment of the mark. The physical aspects of the product to be marked determine fixturing requirements. Standard and custom fixtures are designed to hold flat and round parts.

Impact or press indenting is useful for marking on products which require long production runs, precise mark registration, quick marking time and controlled marking. Indenting can be achieved as part of the production process or as a separate operation.
With the impact method, the entire message is indented at one time using an impact press with a press-style die, holder and changeable type or numbering head. The force to indent the product is produced by a compression spring in the impact press. The machine and tooling selected is determined by the size of the inscription and the hardness of the material.

Available in six models for manual or pneumatic operation with an indenting force ranging from 1/2 ton to 10 tons, impact presses can be used for serializing, inventory control, punching, shaping and more.

Production rates are limited by the speed of loading and unloading the press. We can provide material handling systems to feed the product to the press.
