Marking head - Numbering head - Manual numberer - Automatic numberer

Numbering heads are marking tools for many applications in the metal and plastic-processing industry. With a numberer, you can mark high quantities in excellent quality. Due to the construction, our marking heads are extremely durable, even for heavy duty applications.

Our assortment comprises various marking heads. With a standard manual numbering head, various combinations of figures or letters can be indented with one single stroke into the component. These standard manual numberers are also available with a shank for the use in a percussion press. Also for machine processing, automatic numbering heads indent a consecutive number into the working piece. The numbering sequence on standard automatic heads is consecutive when the handle is depressed. Otherwise a constant inscription is marked. Another kind of numbering head has manually adjustable wheels, where every single wheel can be changed by a special handle. This is the most comfortable numbering head, especially, when you have to change the numbering code frequently.

Marking heads can be used either by hand/hammer or in most types of marking machines. These numberers fit in almost any manual percussion press, air-operated press or hydraulic press.

Numbering heads - availability

Numbering heads are available in numerous different varieties.

Basically one can divide numbering heads into the following categories:

Security-pin locked numbering heads
Security-pin locked numbering heads are very common as the inscription change is very quick and simple, no tools are required. Another advantage is, that the security pin not only fastens the wheels in position, but also transmits the compressive load in the body of the tool directly to the point of impact.

Feather-locked numbering head
Feather-locked numbering heads do not have this security pin. This marking head locks the wheel with a special feather in position. The change of the inscription is done by hand or with an extra pin.
