Stamping brass should not represent a challenge for most specialist marking or engraving machines. The situation is somewhat different when it comes to hardened steel and other similar metal. Many systems will simply be unable to do it whilst others will be pushed beyond their capability (often producing a poor finish and even worse getting damaged in the process). Dot peening markers will achieve good quality stamping but produce much noise in the process.
Fitted with a fixed diamond head, Gravograph systems will tackle the hardest of materials. The desktop IS200 model built quality makes it the number one choice for any type of marking from plastic, soft as well as hard metal. Gravograph systems are designed to be versatile, quiet and easy to use. The IS200 is perfectly suited for cylinder marking, thanks a multifunctional holding vice and a non-impact marking process that will not damage pin mechanisms. A quick tool change also enables deep engraving of metal or other materials such as plastic. Key fobs, locker numbers, tags and labels can be created in minutes.
Gravograph systems are also perfectly suited for cylinder marking, thanks to a multifunctional holding vice and a non-impact marking process that will not damage pin mechanisms. The machines are supplied with jigs for keys, padlocks and barrels – meaning easy marking of parts of all shape and form.
All systems are supplied with Gravostyle engraving software, which includes automatic serial numbering as well as job save facility. Just a few clicks are sufficient to create a job file that will automatically engrave several keys at a time.
Locksmiths wishing to expand their business should consider the benefits of owning a Gravograph system for key marking as those machines can also be used to offer additional services, such as engraving of tags, key fobs, labels, door signs and more.
Complete systems including on-site installation and training are available for less than £5 a day on finance.
