Engraving of industrial equipment tags
Industrial equipment tags are essential for identifying machinery and equipment. These tags are usually made of aluminum or steel, and are indelibly engraved with the serial numbers and technical data of the equipment.
Equipment tags
Industrial equipment tags can be of various sizes, normally made of aluminum or steel, and it is essential, also for regulatory reasons, that the technical data written on them are indelible. The plates can have the graphics and fixed data pre-printed, for example in silkscreen, so as to engrave on them only the technical data that vary from one piece of equipment to another. Alternatively, the plates can be completely engraved. Normally these plates are very thin, from 0.5 mm to 1 mm thick and can have various sizes and measurements, right or rounded corners and can already have holes to be able to apply them to the machinery.
How do you engrave equipment tags?
This type of industrial use tags can be engraved with various technologies. If the plates are already silkscreened, scratch technology with a diamond-tipped tool is usually preferred as it allows for a quality result, in a clean and noiseless way, and with engraving machine costs that are usually very low.

Alternatively, to obtain a deeper marking, you can use a dot peen marking machine. A dot peen machine is effective on steel but can also be used on aluminum and is quite fast, on the other hand it is very noisy and can engrave a basic graphic with few details.

A marking machine with Laser technology is particularly suitable when the plate is neutral and must be completely engraved. The Fibre technology in particular allows to obtain permanent engravings with extraordinary graphics and with a result also intense black, to give with strong contrast.
