Pinmark Engraving systems

Point-by-point computerised marking

 

Pinmark Engraving systems permanently and economically mark products with a wide variety of shapes and materials - at high speeds.

 

Any text, figures, symbols, or logos can be reproduced. Text can be positioned at any angle, or on a curve. Pin Mark systems have been used successfully for many years in the aviation, tooling, automotive, and steel industries.

Series of connected dots

Pinmarking method

The marking is created by an oscillating hardmetal indenting punch moved by a coordinating unit, having two stepper motors, in the x-y axis. During continuous operation the marking consists of a concentrated series of single dot marks producing a solid line.

MagicPin 100T

MagicPin budget pinmarking unit

These marking systems are a low-cost alternative. What do we mean by low-cost? We simply mean that the MagicPin series has been produced with limited ability for expansion, NOT by reducing the quality of the equipment or printing result.

 

The MagicPin systems are not expandable to include a 3rd axis rotation axle, automatic elevator axle, vehicle identification plate magazine etc.

 

The MagicPin systems are manufactured in Germany and are suited to industrial applications, including DATA Matrix™ codes and serial numbers as well as graphics by means of importing plotter files.

 

All-in-all, the MagicPin systems represent a smaller budget without getting a worse marking result or less durability.

MagicPin budget dot-peen system

Trend Marking Systems has released a series of budget dot-peen marking systems known as MagicPin.

They are a lower-cost alternative to the standard Pinmark range as they are manufactured without expansion opportunities like loading/deloading mechanisms or 3rd-axis rotation marking.

As such - German-made quality is not lessened but price is lower!

Printing Glass Bases

Trend's Hot QuickCoder was successful in providing a solution to print on the base of glass jars with a use-by date.

The application is manual - an operator loading the jars into a basic jig - with the HQC unit printing from underneath on the slightly domed base with a white colour.
