SIC Marking offers stylus marking and scribing systems as well as laser marking systems. SIC Marking products are used in the automotive sector, aerospace industry, metalworks and everywhere else where indelible marking in hard materials is required. The SIC Marking laser marking systems L-Box and XL-Box are suitable for marking workstations, where pieces of different shapes and sizes need to be marked simply and quickly with texts, logos, bar codes and Data Matrix codes in a safe environment. The fibre lasers built into these systems are especially powerful and long-lived and mark even the hardest steel. Laser systems are also available for integration into existing manufacturing or assembly lines. SIC Marking stylus marking systems come in three varieties: portable systems for marking large and heavy pieces in storage rather than moving the pieces to a work station, optionally equipped with accumulators for independence from the electric network; work station systems based on columns for marking on manually handled pieces and type plates, optionally equipped with loading and ejecting attachments; and systems for integration into existing assembly lines or robotic setups. Stylus markers use a matrix of dots (dot peening) to create logos, texts, numbers and Data Matrix codes, and can be programmed with numerous variables for automated marking on all kinds of work materials. These systems generally only require electricity, and no pressurised air. There are also integratable scribing systems (optionally also available for workstations) which are supported with pressurised air and drag the stylus across the material rather than using a dot matrix, which results in a clear engraving. This type of system is frequently used in VIN marking setups. In the fourth quarter 2014 SIC Marking presents the e1-p63c marking gun, which combines the new controller e1 and the compact marking gun p63c in a very portable setup which can be carried in a specifically developed
