Marking systems for test results – manual or automatic

Precise documentation of test results is a fundamental part of quality assurance. CRS Prüftechnik offers both manually operated marking stamps and automatic marking systems for the appropriate labelling of test pieces.

Testing circuit boards or other electrical engineering components is only the first step in responsible quality assurance. The next step is to mark the components in order to clearly document the test results for users and processors. Depending on the test procedure, marking stamps are used which can be operated individually by hand or integrated into test adapters.

The quick-drying, self-inking and refillable INSTA MARK hand stamps are particularly suitable for marking smooth surfaces such as circuit boards, plugs, components, cable ducts, metals, foils, plastics or photos. The pressure setting allows this marking stamp to be optimally adjusted to different stamping surfaces. In addition, the stamp head can be sealed airtight to prevent drying out. However, the biggest advantage of the INSTA MARK hand stamp is that it allows flexible marking without a stamp pad. The inks used are epoxy and UV-resistant and combine excellent adhesion with fast-drying properties. In addition to its excellent handling, the INSTA MARK hand stamp also impresses with:

• quick stamping
• a clear and even impression
• pressure adjustment to the stamping surface.

Stamping without ink pads

Quick-drying self-inking stamps for industrial use.

Automatic marking systems such as the Mini Marker from CRS also enable fast and accurate documentation of test results. This system is a simple and ideal solution for quality-compliant marking of test specimens. The marking system is available in two stamp sizes and enables height-independent stamping thanks to automatic pressure monitoring. This results in a high-quality print image on all smooth surfaces. The stamp ink only needs to be refilled after more than 1,000 stamps.

Automatic stamping device Mini-Marker

Last but not least, the biggest advantage of the Mini Marker is that, thanks to its compact dimensions (45 mm wide, 130 mm high and 85 mm deep) and low weight (300 grams), this marking stamp can be easily installed in the respective test adapter. In addition, you can also integrate it into rotary indexing tables and production lines of any kind without much effort.

The system offers the following advantages:

• Marking of smooth surfaces, e.g. printed circuit boards, plastic housings, metals, glass and foils
• Self-inking and quick-drying InstaMark stamps
• Easy integration into the manufacturing process
• No drying out thanks to automatic cap
• Two different stamp sizes (IM 116)
• High-quality print image
• Height-independent stamping thanks to pressure force monitoring
• Approx. 1000 stamps per refill
