Marking stations

Since press-hardened components are usually safety-relevant components of vehicles, tracking of such formed structural parts is of particular importance. Therefore it is necessary to mark blank cuts during the stacking process and to emboss the batch number on the part.

For this production step, HORSTKEMPER supplies the necessary marking stations to emboss special characters as well as multi-digit number sequences. The marking process is carried out by low-noise embossing cylinders. Along with the actual marking process, the integrated double sheet measuring is carried out, which checks the stacking of two components on top of each other.

Generally, marking stations are individually configurable. It is possible to select between two and eight marking units per marking station. Also freely configurable is the set-up procedure for a change of blank types. Starting with manual set-up through to fully automated set-up of marking units.
