Punch Marking

ESAB’s Pneumatic Punch Marker uses a marking process similar to an industrial pneumatic hammer to impact impressions on the surface of mild steel, stainless steel or aluminum. Capacitive height control maintains a constant standoff for consistent marking and accurate, heavy-duty pattern layout of both scribed lines and single point marks.

The size and depth of punched marks are determined by air pressure and material hardness. Marking frequency and punching power are adjustable and allow NC-controlled punch marking of dots, lines or letters. A double-ended marking tip provides higher productivity.

The Pneumatic Punch Marker:
• Efficiently marks the drilled hole location for subsequent plate drilling
• Produces scribed lines for secondary operations such as bend lines, layout lines or weldments
• Marks numbers or letters on cut parts using Character Generator option
