Laser part marking technology is becoming more and more important in all realms of manufacturing, from automotive to aerospace and medical industries. This is because of the growing demand from manufacturers and federal regulations to be able to track and trace products throughout their lifecycle. One of the most common questions we get at MECCO […]
MECCO's SMARTmark Fiber Laser Marking System can be integrated into various customized enclosure options like this 3-Position Rotary Workstation. Featuring Rockwell Automation controls and an Encompass Program referenced laser marker, this system communicates with a database to verify the correct information for marking. While typically designed in two or four position rotary dial tables, MECCO […]
MECCO, a leader in the marking and traceability industry, has announced that they have joined Carnegie Mellon University’s Moon Arts Group in a collaborative effort to place a six-ounce capsule known as the MoonArk on the Moon. The MoonArk is a piece of art that contains a non-encyclopedic view of humanity and life on earth. […]
MECCO’s laser and dot peen equipment marks a wide variety of parts throughout all industries to solve a host of application challenges. But what are the five most interesting things we marked this past year? Read below to see some potentially unexpected applications our laser marking systems were used for in 2015: 1. Pumpkins: Using a […]
Portable marking equipment makes it easy to add traceability to a variety of parts, but pipes can be more complicated. MECCO has designed a bracket that is installed onto our hand held dot peen machine, and it is paired with a magnetic guide that goes on the pipe. The guide is urethane with embedded magnets that help […]
Making permanent marks of part numbers, lot codes and identifying information onto bearings can present unique challenges. Typically marking on the face of the bearing, you will want a smooth, black annealed mark with no raised material. To solve these needs, MECCO developed the Bearing Marking Station, which combines the MeccoMark Fiber Laser with a customized […]
The permanent identification of a part for tracking purposes can be complicated depending on the part's shape. Round parts, such as pipes, flanges, and couplings, require unique marking equipment to ensure a quality mark around the diameter. The FM200 Flange/Coupling Marking System combines MECCO's industrial strength dot peen impact marking technology with a precision rotary chuck […]
To overcome today's industrial challenges, manufacturers need to work smarter by connecting the factory. They need to increase efficiency, reduce costs, and increase quality. All of these goals can be accomplished using an integrated track and trace system. Traceability systems utilize devices such as conveyors, robotics, and vision systems, which communicate directly with a PLC using […]
MECCO’s dot peen markers are versatile and durable, but in some environments, an impact marker can be too loud. One customer wanted to take advantage of the mark quality and speed that the COUTH product offers, but had strict requirements for the noise level and safety surrounding the marking equipment. MECCO proposed a unique configuration of their […]
This month's featured laser marking system is the MeccoMark Rotary Workstation, customized for an application that had the following goals: optimize the marking cycle by putting the maximum number of parts in at once, be able to see inside the enclosure for setting up a job file, and have easy access for maintenance. To do […]
