The unique feature of this process: the marking needle, which is spring-mounted and pre-tensioned in the axial direction, is equipped with a freely rotating tungsten carbide ball. The marking contour is created by the compaction of the material generated the rolling action of the ball on the surface of the material. Roller embossing is used for fine, visually high-quality marking and for applications where absolute freedom from burrs without any material overflow is required. Even uneven marking surfaces can be provided with a consistent marking depth due to the spring-mounted marking needle with this tool type.
The RMB-12 is used for fine, visually high-quality markings as well as in applications where absolutely no burrs and no material spatter are required.
Applications
