The introduction of In-Die Numbering Head technology offers a significant advancement. By replacing multi-step stamp changes with a fast, rotational wheel adjustment, manufacturers can reduce changeover time from minutes to seconds. This white paper outlines the limitations of legacy tooling and the operational advantages achieved by integrating modern numbering head systems directly into the die.
Convex or “barrel” style numbering heads are used in roll marking machines to mark serial numbers.
Numbering heads are used to provide quick marking legends changes.
The diameter to diameter roll marking is a great marking process for marking high pressure bottles.
The ultimate combination of fast durable marking meets fast simple tooling changeover. The CMT patented Slide-A-Mark has long been used for date coding and part numbering. This combined with the numbering head tooling provides a solution that reduces costs with a minimal investment.
