Permanent Marking Solutions for Manufacturing and Traceability

The MP150i helps manufacturers permanently identify products throughout production, shipping, installation, and service life. Unlike labels, ink printing, or paint markers that can wear away over time, dot peen marking creates durable indentations directly into the material.

Common marking applications include:

• Serial number marking
• Part number identification
• Date and batch coding
• Data Matrix codes
• Barcodes
• QR-style identification codes
• Asset identification
• Tool and fixture marking
• Nameplates
• Brand logos
• Mold and casting identification
• Quality control tracking
• Product traceability
• Government and military identification requirements

Ideal for a Wide Range of Industries

The MP150i is trusted anywhere permanent identification and traceability are essential.

Automotive Manufacturing

Mark engines, transmissions, suspension components, machined parts, castings, and assemblies with permanent serial numbers and traceability codes.

Aerospace

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the difference between a dot peen marking machine and a micro-percussion marking machine?

There is no functional difference. "Dot peen marking machine" is the most commonly used industry term, while "micro-percussion marking machine" describes the same technology that creates permanent marks by rapidly striking the surface with a carbide marking pin.

What materials can the MP150i mark?

The MP150i permanently marks hardened steel up to 63 HRC, stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, brass, copper, sheet metal, castings, molds, tooling, and many plastics.

What types of information can the MP150i mark?

The machine can mark serial numbers, part numbers, logos, dates, batch codes, Data Matrix codes, barcodes, linear text, circular text, angled text, and custom designs.

Does the MP150i require a separate computer?

No. The MP150i operates as a standalone system and includes its own controller, keyboard, software, and 5.7-inch LCD monitor. A separate PC is not required for normal operation.

Can I import my company logo or custom fonts?

Yes. The USB port allows users to import logos, fonts, and compatible marking files including PLT, HPGL, DXF, and G-Code formats.

How much memory does the machine have?

The MP150i includes more than 400 MB of onboard memory, allowing storage of over 30,000 marking files.
