New SICK Direct Part Marking Guide is Essential Knowledge Source
A ready-reference guide to Direct Part Marking technology has been published by SICK, the
leading manufacturer of intelligent sensors and sensor solutions. The comprehensive 120-page book guides the engineer through the choice of technologies for permanent identification of components and finished products in the electronics industry. The SICK Competence Guide to Direct Marking has been produced as an objective and unbiased source on the available technologies and their most appropriate applications. It covers the principles of coding, the techniques used in direct marking and the key requirements for reliably reading DPM codes in factory automation.
"The development of 2D codes and the hugely improved performance of image processing have widened the opportunities for label-free direct marking methods to be used such as dot peening, laser marking or ink jet marking," says Tim Stokes, Auto Ident Product Manager for SICK (UK) Ltd.
"Realising there was no professional and comprehensive reference guide available, we have gathered together a knowledge source to
discuss the merits of different technologies and how best to address issues of traceability, combating fraud, security and the increasing legal and regulatory requirements."
"It includes principles of coding, the most appropriate marking for your product and industry, reading codes and conformance with standards. With this knowledge, you are fully equipped to evaluate and choose the system that is best for your requirements."
The SICK Guide is essential reading for anyone thinking of implementing or upgrading a part marking system. Normally costing £10 the guide is available free of charge for a limited period.
