Are there portable marking systems?
Yes, there are portable marking systems. They offer a flexible and versatile solution for businesses that require durable and clearly legible markings on a range of materials. These needle markers are easy to transport and are ideal for applications where marking needs to be carried out directly on site.
For which sectors, industries and areas of application are mobile marking systems suitable?
Handheld or mobile marking systems are ideal for a wide range of applications in trade and industry. These marking systems make it easy to mark parts that are difficult to transport, such as vehicle bodies, engine blocks or steel girders. Even areas that are difficult to access, such as pipework in the utilities sector or the casings of machinery and equipment, can be marked directly on site.
When is a handheld marking system a better choice than a fixed installation?
Handheld marking systems are characterised by their user-friendliness and excellent ergonomic features. The dot peen marking machines are lightweight and easy to handle, meaning they can also be used in confined or hard-to-reach areas. These compact devices enable quick and easy marking without the need for a complex installation. With our handheld marking systems, you can choose from three different marking windows (marking area sizes) to suit your needs. These handheld marking units are particularly suitable for use in workshops, on bodywork components, for quality assurance and in warehouse management.
What types of marking technologies are available for handheld marking machines, and can curved surfaces be marked?
Three different sizes and variants are available for needle marking and dot-matrix marking. The 317 VIN handheld marking unit can also perform scribe marking in addition to needle marking. It is a powerful, compact and robust marking unit, ideal for marking vehicle identification numbers (VIN) in small batches as well as in pilot or SKD/CKD* production.
Thanks to various clamps and adapters, our models enable marking on flat and round surfaces, such as pipes, and therefore offer a high degree of flexibility. Furthermore, the three marking systems can also be combined with a table and column, allowing them to be converted into a workshop unit. This makes them even more versatile and ideal for stationary applications in workshops or production environments.
