Скачать или смотреть Laser Marking for Traceability: Forged Parts

Traceability is essential to understanding your manufacturing processes. Subtle patterns in process variation can only be detected over longer time scales. To be useful, process data must be captured completely, accurately, and automatically.

Kinemetrix has been implementing its AssemblyDNA™ traceability technology for nearly two decades. Way before “Industry 4.0” became the hot new thing.

Successful traceability programs are less about flavor-of-the-week technology. You don’t need “edge Ai-computing” to gather and analyze useful data. You do, however, need field-durable, serialized marking of component parts.

Part identification is where traceability starts. Selecting the right marking method for your parts ensures that parts and assemblies can be identified through the process, the supply chain, and even into the field.

This case study describes serialized laser marking of a forged crankshaft as it begins its journey through the manufacturing process. This part was challenging to mark because of its curved geometry and rough scaled surface.
