Scribing

Fine lines and deep writing

Closely related to dot peen marking, a scribing needle moves across the surface area in a continuous line, rather than an oscillating needle punching the information into the material. The result is a precise, clean mark consisting of a fine line – with low-noise operation.

SCRIBER ACCESSORIES

Scriber heads also have two linear axes (like needle embossers) but have a more stable design than pure embosser heads. Because greater lateral forces occur with needle scribing than with needle embossing, scribing heads have a spindle drive instead of a belt drive.

Unlike needle embossing (dot peen marking), the surface of the material must be as level as possible when using a scriber.

Scribe systems can also be used as a needle embosser

In addition to quieter operation and the finer typeface, needle scribers can be easily transformed into needle embossers as required. Only the needle system (accessory) needs to be replaced. Significantly larger inscription fields than with needle embossers are therefore possible.

As with the needle embossers, Ostling scribers are used when customers require marks to be extremely long lasting.

All Ostling scribers can also be used as high-quality needle embossers if required by simply replacing the needle system (accessory).

Our own scriber brand, PinMark™, has represented reliability and the highest precision levels for many years. Scribers are often used in rough industrial environments in the automotive and steel industry, by tool manufacturers and in mechanical engineering. This is why the robust construction and the innovative detail solutions prevailed in the development of the PinMark™ series.

What materials can be marked with scribers?

Solid materials such as:

Metal (aluminium, stainless steel)
Cast iron
Graphite
PVC etc

Whether as an installation device that can be integrated into your production line, as a benchtop device or as a flexible benchtop device on a trolley, we offer the ideal solution for your applications.
