Scribing Machine Supply

Scribing (= needle scribing, = scribing) is related to needle embossing. The difference is that the writing is not punched into the material with an oscillating needle, but pressure is instead applied to a special scribing needle, which moves over the area to be marked. The result is a clean, accurate marking, consisting of a fine line – and that with low-noise operation. Prerequisite for the use of a scriber is a material surface, which is as level as possible for imprinting. 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. Typical application areas include: 2D codes Type plates Mechanical engineering Special mechanical engineering Plastics and metals for the aerospace industry Entire automotive sector (e.g. deep VIN possible) Strengths of the ÖSTLING scribers include: Very clean typeface Excellent 2D codes Low-noise operation Permanent marking on various materials Benchtop and integration models available Easy to adapt to your needs due to modular product programme 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. Significantly larger inscription fields than with needle embossers are also possible. Only the needle system (accessory) needs to be replaced.
