Make permanent, clear marks on metals without heat or force to preserve your material’s structural integrity. These etchers are often used for critical marking applications such as adding identification numbers to aerospace parts.

They come with everything you need to start etching. To operate, saturate the etching pad with solution, position your stencil on the item you’re marking, and press the pad over the stencil. The longer you hold the etcher on the stencil, the deeper the etch. After etching, clean the surface with solution neutralizer and dry the mark to prevent rust.

Use these stations to create reusable stencils. They include a UV light station and everything else you need for development. Stencils are often used to add complex logos or branding and can be used upwards of 20 times.

To create a stencil, print your design on transfer paper using an inkjet or laser printer. Place the transfer paper on top of the undeveloped stencil sheet, then place both under the UV light to transfer the design. Soak the stencil sheet in stencil developer to develop the image.

Add deep, consistent marks such as identification numbers or QR codes to pipes, racks, or large machinery that’s difficult to move. These dot peen marking machines can also mark small items such as tags when they’re clamped against a larger surface. A stylus rapidly strikes the surface to displace material and leave permanent indented dots that withstand significant wear, heat, and corrosion. It marks items without creating chips, dust, or thermal distortion. The machines are equipped with software that automatically adjusts the stylus position and marking force for clean, consistent results.

These machines are the lightest on the market and have an even weight distribution, making them comfortable to use and carry. Integrated bumpers protect them from accidental bumps and drops. Built-in Wi-Fi lets you upload logos, text, or serial numbers from an Android device to create and modify designs on the go.

Carry these pen-sized engravers wherever you need to mark materials. At 20,000 rotations per minute, they match the power of corded electric engravers to carve away material for permanent markings.
