In today’s smart factories, machines can no longer work in isolation. Real efficiency comes when marking systems integrate smoothly into the existing production line. Whether it’s a fast-paced automotive assembly line or a precision-driven medical device setup, every operation has its own requirements—and a standard solution often falls short.
Customisable Dot Peen Solutions bridge this gap by adapting to your workflow, ensuring reliable marking while supporting seamless industrial automation.
Integration: Beyond the Benchtop
For many businesses, the goal is to remove the “human element” from the marking process to ensure 100% accuracy. Integration involves:
- PLC Communication: Connecting the marking head directly to a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) so the machine knows exactly when a part is in position.
- Robotic Arm Mounting: Attaching lightweight dot peen heads to robotic arms for multi-angle marking on complex 3D geometries.
- Signal Exchange: Setting up “Ready to Mark” and “Marking Complete” signals to synchronize the marker with conveyors and industrial sensors.
Tailoring the Hardware to the Material
Not every metal reacts the same way to a carbide stylus. At Instromart, we customise our hardware to match the real-world challenges your materials present.
- High-Frequency Peening is perfect for thin-walled components and softer metals like aluminium, delivering clear marks while minimising surface stress.
- Deep-Force Solenoids, on the other hand, are built for tougher materials such as hardened steel and cast iron, creating durable marks that remain visible even after heavy industrial painting or galvanisation.
- Extended stylus lengths allow custom pins to reach deep recesses and mark around obstructions—areas a standard marking head simply can’t access.
Software Customization for Data Integrity
Custom software configurations ensure that the data you mark is the data you need. We help businesses set up:
- Database Connectivity: Linking the marking software to your ERP or SQL database to pull real-time manufacturing data.
- Custom User Access Levels: Restricting software permissions so that operators can only select approved templates, preventing accidental changes to marking layouts.
The Instromart Promise
At Instromart, we don’t just sell machines; we provide integrated solutions. Our team works with your engineers to ensure that your dot peen system fits perfectly into your automation ecosystem, delivering high-speed, error-free traceability.
