Dot Peen Marking Machines

Dot Peen Marking is a direct part marking technique widely used in industrial settings. It involves a stylus, or pin (sometimes referred to as Dot Pin marking), rapidly striking the material’s surface to create a series of dots, forming alphanumeric characters or codes. This method is chosen for its accuracy, speed, and versatility, with applications in product serialization, part numbering, and date coding.

Dot peen marks are durable, resistant to wear and corrosion, making them ideal for traceability in manufacturing. Automated in many industries, this process ensures consistent, precise marking, contributing to efficient production and improved product identification throughout the supply chain.

Dot Peen marking was Initially pioneered by Pryor in the 1970’s and has become an industry standard for producing low stress marks. All our Machines are manufactured right here in Sheffield, UK.

How do dot peen markers work?

Pryor Dot peen marking machines employ a carbide stylus to rapidly create dots on a material's surface, controlled by our Traceability software, Traceable IT. This permanent marking method is utilized for product identification, traceability, and compliance. The process is versatile, allowing for the creation of patterns, alphanumeric characters, and logos, often integrated into automated production lines for efficiency.

How is dot peen used to mark bikes or motorcycles

Dot peen marking on bikes & motorcycles involves using a stylus to create durable marks on components for traceability, branding, compliance, and anti-theft purposes. It allows motorbike and bike manufacturers to mark unique identification, logos, and certification symbols directly onto frames, aiding in tracking, branding, and meeting regulatory standards. Additionally, it serves as an important anti-theft measure and facilitates customization by marking personalized information on bike components.
