MARK410 - Data Matrix Code laser marking

Constantly increasing reqiurements in the automotive industry for the traceability of all work steps require a separate serial number for each component.

With the MARK410 laser marking machine, raw cast wheels are marked fully automatically with a serial number shortly after the casting process. In addition to plain text, the technology used also enables Data Matrix Codes for automatic process tracking and control of all subsequent production steps in wheel manufacturing. The wheel support with the lightening pockets has become the preferred marking position, as these surfaces are available immediately after the casting process and are not subsequently processed or painted.

In the MARK410, wheel detection and marking take place in the same position. This makes this machine variant particularly suitable for space critical production sites. With its minimal machine dimensions of 1300 mm in wheel transport direction, the MARK410 fits in alomost every layout.

To check and confirm the marked code, the marking machine can be supplemented with a CAM220 Data Matrix Code reading system from Alpine Metal Tech. The CAM220 is equipped with additional features such as a database connection and automatic intermediate buffering in the event of a network failure, making it ideal for implementing a highly accessible, future-proof solution.

Your advantages:

  • Genuine serial number
    Each wheel has a unique number. This guarantees continuous traceability from the casting machine to delivery.
  • Improvement in the production process
    Production errors can be narrowed down to each individual wheel and precise production times.
  • Complete system from a single source
    Marking machine and reading system come from a single supplier.
  • High level of reliability
    Immediate check of the encoding directly after marking to ensure automatic readability.
