About Marking and Engraving Equipment

Marking and engraving equipment marks or engraves products and packages with bar codes, lot codes, date stamps, graphics, labels, and other information. Marks are applied during the manufacturing process, eliminating the need to generate labels or papers for subsequent application. Product specifications for marking and engraving equipment include printing or marking width, maximum cycle rate, number of colors, and digital interface. Printing or marking width is the width of the characters produced by the marking and engraving equipment. Maximum cycle rate is the number of cycles that can be performed during a specific period of time. Number of colors is also an important specification. Marking and engraving equipment with a digital interface can output signals according to industrial fieldbus protocol such as CANbus, PROFIBUS^®, or SERCOS; a networking protocol such as Ethernet; or another industrial automation protocol. PROFIBUS is a registered trademark of PROFIBUS International.
