Marking tools
…and your machine marks economically

the AMF-Writer and AMF-Marker are tools for permanently marking workpieces. they are preferably clamped
in collet chucks and Weldon chucks, and mounted in the machine spindle of a CNC machine.
marking is achieved through a combination of material compaction and material displacement, which we call
“rolling”. in other words, the mark is generated by means of a special needle with extremely hard ball.

through the special design and very high-quality guides, it is possible for this tool to produce uniform and
high-quality marking on rough or smooth surfaces which are uneven by between 3 and 9 mm without height
compensation from the spindle. it can be infi nitely adapted to diff erent materials, material hardnesses and
to realise diff erent marking depths.
this tool is especially economical due to the low purchase costs, long service life and the enormous time
saving.

advantages at a glance:
 the surface is not weakened or damaged, but compacted and thus strengthened
 high marking speeds are possible
 high wear resistance, resulting in long service life
 also suitable for thin-walled workpieces
 no ridge is produced on the marking line
 high-quality typeface
 workpiece unevenness is compensated for
 also suitable for marking rounded surfaces (up to 15°)
 depending on the version, it is possible to mark surfaces with a hardness of up to 57 HRC
 no noise generated

using the marking tools has proven to reduce marking time in the machining centre by over 75 %.
if 60 minutes used to be spent per shi on 60 marking operations in a machining centre, deploying the AMF marking tool will reduce the pure marking time to
12 minutes.
through automated workpiece loading and the ability of the tool to mark at speed, you can achieve savings in series. our customer example shows savings of
€ 60,000 per year, based on three-shi manufacturing utilisation. This guarantees rapid amortisation of the invested sum.
