Assembly in Action: Switching to Automated Marking Boosts Productivity
The company supplies air tools and precisely machined components, accessories and other industrial tools to customers worldwide. Its pneumatic air tools are sold to companies like Rolls Royce, Conoco, Shell and Boeing and for application in oil fields, truck fleets, foundries, welding shops, mines and aircraft. The company has long needed an efficient and precise way to engrave manufacturing date and source, part and serial numbers, and special information on flat tags, as well as rotary marking direct onto the component parts.
According to Keith Friedline, project manager, "After examining existing marking systems, Matthews International Corp. (Pittsburgh) was found to be the most suited for our application." When it found the Pro·Point Model 2324 programmable indent marking system, the company was able to take advantage of many of the key and side benefits of this particular stylus marker.
