gravostar RM-12L

An active needle drive is not required for the scratch marking process because of the spring mounted, pre-tensioned marking needle.
The workpiece is marked by a combination of material compression and displacement. As soon as the point of the needle is brought into contact with the workpiece, the needle penetrates the surface of the material with a defined pre-tension pressure.

Even uneven marking surfaces can be provided with a consistent marking depth because of the consistent pre-tension pressure of the spring-mounted pre-tensioned marking needle in the axial direction with this extremely easily adjustable tool type.

Field of application

Individual rather fine markings of any workpieces
with regular, uneven or rough surfaces.
