Mate Precision Tooling, Anoka, MN, introduces a quick and reliable method for marking fabricated parts in five different s during CNC punching: the EasyMark 5-In-1 Tooling Kit.

The thick-turret application tooling, for machines without a bottom-stroke forming feature, can be set up to automatically perform any of the following five marking operations:

• Write numbers, dates and other identifying information on a part surface using a special marker. No penetration or material removal is required, the marker does not dry out for two weeks or more and the marked information is erasable if desired.

• Etch the sheetmetal surface with permanent marking information using one of two (120- and 150-deg.) supplied diamond inserts.

• Cut or scribe the protective film on sheetmetal surfaces using a supplied brass insert to expose localized areas on the part without damaging underlying material.

• Create cone-shaped indentations (centerpoint down) on the part surface to locate the part with other components for later assembly.

• Perform high-speed dot-matrix marking in this mode using a supplied carbide insert.

The EasyMark kit contains all components and tools for all five marking modes, including special A-Station guide and canister, marker pen, one brass, one carbide and two diamond inserts, three types of springs for the diamond and brass inserts, roller ball and blank dies.
