Scribe Marking

Part Scratching, Engraving

Scribe marking is also referred to as scratching and part engraving. This process creates characters or logos by dragging or pushing the stylus through the material to create a solid, continuous line mark. This is a popular process where noise levels of the marking application must be controlled. Based on material and required mark depth, either a carbide or diamond stylus can be used.

Advantages:

  • Low noise
  • Clear, well-defined marks

Disadvantages:

  • Slower marking cycle
  • Limited depth, especially on harder materials

Scribe marking is often used on heat-treated components to obtain a light, well-defined mark. It is popular for part marking in automotive production areas with noise restrictions. Scribe is also a great technology for marking nameplates, tags and data plates.
