In aeronautics, safety standards require direct marking on critical components for efficient part identification and tracebility. Subcontractors must provide manufacturers with fully identified parts to also combat counterfeit and tampering risks. This prevents obsolete parts from being reused or sold elsewhere, ensuring safety by avoiding stress-related risks associated with unidentified origins.
Complying with regulated standards AS478-3, AIM-DPM, MIL-STD-130, EASA Part 21 Subpart Q, ATA SPEC2000, SAE, NASA, UID, JES, RRES, SAE International AS9132, our marking systems guarantee high-quality markings and complete traceability of your parts. Identify, record, and read your information throughout the life of your parts, from the wing to the smallest screw of the aircraft.
Our industrial laser stations are perfect for aerospace part marking: they guarantee high-contrast marking with a very short cycle time without contact with the part. Different laser sources and power levels and marking areas are available depending on your application.
Small laser engraver for all kind of engravings.
Medium fully automated laser marking station.
Large fully automated laser workstation with Fiber, Hybrid or Green sources
Small CO2 laser engraver and cutter for personalization, signage and creative.
Large laser engraver and cutter that can do everything.
Laser protection nose for integrable laser markers.
Our dot-peen and rotary marking machines offer high-precision marking and a great return on investment. They meet your aerospace part identification and traceability marking requirements while increasing quality and volumes. Mark both small and large parts thanks to their open marking area.
The laser technology is a contactless identification method. The part surface remains intact as only the superficial layer of the material is heated to create a contrasting black marking. This also ensures that the mechanical properties of the part aren’t modified.
To mark parts sensible to heat transfers, our Green laser source ensures what is called "Cold-marking". Which is, laser marking without any heat buildup on the part’s surface.
Laser marking is fast, making it perfectly suitable for high-production needs. The high contrast ensures quick data reading, either by an operator for alphabetical characters or by a scanner for 1D or 2D codes.
Our industrial laser stations are equipped with an integrated Z axis for automatic adjustment of the laser head, ensuring high-quality traceability marking on your aerospace parts.
The dot-peen marking technology pushes the material to engrave a series of numbers or a Datamatrix code. No material is removed or weakened during this process. This ensures that the marking remains intact after post-treatments and maintains high durability over time.
Certain aerospace standards specify a required depth for compliance, and dot-peen marking machines enable adherence to these depth requirements.
Our Impact eZ m (electromagnetic version) includes a sensor that automatically detects the part and adjusts the Z axis accordingly, ensuring consistently high-quality part identification.
Our industrial laser and dot-peen marking machines seamlessly integrate with your existing infrastructure, including central servers, PCs, PLCs, and barcode scanners, maximizing ROI and facilitating communication within your plant network.
These robust permanent marking systems are capable of creating deep and durable markings on even the toughest metals, both pre and post-treatment, ensuring legibility and durability in the most challenging environments. The complete traceability from manufacturing to maintenance guarantees part authenticity and compliance with the highest aerospace standards.
The variety of our aerospace part marking technologies makes it possible to trace and identify a wide range of parts with a unique identification code, whatever their shapes or materials:
These parts can be made of the following alloys: Aluminium, Titanium, Magnesium, Cobalt, Steel, Stainless steel, Carbon fiber.
The standards upon which you rely vary depending on the country, type of traceability marking, and material of the part. The main aerospace industry standards include AS478-3, AIM-DPM, MIL-STD-130, EASA Part 21 Subpart Q, ATA SPEC2000, SAE, NASA, UID, JES, RRES and SAE International AS9132.
Some of these standards encompass various requirements for parts:
Other standards focus on the aerospace part marking quality to ensure reliable proofreading, such as the AIM-DPM standard.
