Manual Markers

The interchangeable steel type (IST) method of manual marking is the answer for all batch and general purpose marking. Simply build a series of characters into a holder and produce a mark quickly with uniform legibility.

Steel type can be used in a hand holder (to be hit with a hammer) or used in a machine holder (a press machine). Our ISTs are manufactured to ISO 9001:2000 standards from high-quality steel and hardened to 59-63 Rockwell and are nickel-plated to resist rust.

These items can be purchased as a complete kit or as single pieces and range in size from 1mm – 10mm. Styles available are standard, reverse, wedge, mini stress and dot stress.

Handstamps are a simple, low-cost impact manual marker. Clear and permanent marks can be made into various materials up to 38 Rockwell by simply striking the punch with a hammer. Our handstamps are hardened and tempered to precise limits, manufactured from quality-controlled chromium tool steel, and are nickel-plated, providing rust protection and durability.

A complete range of punches is available for many applications and industries, in sizes ranging from 1mm – 12.5mm as standard. Reverse, heavy-duty, mini stress and dot stress options are also available.

A punch grip holder with an extended handle is also available.

We manufacture special dies and stamps by perfectly reproducing customer logos, technical impressions and custom designs according to customer requirements. The precision of these dies and stamps are assured by production on a CNC machine, using the highest quality materials. High precision, durable dies provide clear marks on your products.

Our custom stamps and dies are easy to use: impact the dies or stamps with a hammer, alternatively fit the dies or stamps into a holder and use an impact press to mark the material. They are manufactured from high-quality K110 material and are hardened to 54-56 RC for optimum performance.

Our stamps and dies are available in straight, convex or concave, to suit your systems’ component shape.

Our range of manual, automatic or custom heads allows for quick and easy serial numbering of parts.

According to the most advanced production techniques, the numbering heads are manufactured to enable sequential numbering on various substrates. Simply rotate the wheels to any given inscription!

Our numbering heads are available in manual, with or without levers, or automatic; we also provide numbering heads for hot foil marking systems. Custom numbering head options are available based on your specific needs.

Micromarkers are ideal for quality management applications where single-character marking is essential. The internal force is triggered by pressure using the palm of the hand.

The Micromarker punch is practical, versatile and quick, and has an impact force adjustable from 5-50kg with 54 different characters available. Custom symbols can be manufactured on request with a maximum character height of 3mm. Symbols, letters and numbers are also available.

Branding irons offer an easy and quick way to brand items such as tyres, plastics and wood with alphanumeric information, inventory numbers or customized applications to suit your needs. Ten 1″ (25.4mm) numbers from 0-9 as a standard, with the T-Slot option available. Characters are available in a quarter (6mm), half (12mm) or one (25mm) inch

The solid head or T-slot is heated and kept hot by the powerful internal heating element, which creates the heat to brand the mark. Built-in stand supports to ensure that the branding head is supported during heat up and when standing idle.

Our branding irons are rugged and built to last.
