Permanent marking > Codes marking 2D / Data Matrix
WHAT IS DATA MATRIX ?
It's a 2 dimension bar code which allows a lasting traceability in the most difficult environments. Human error is avoided because this code can be read by a machine.
A Data Matrix code (DMx) can record up to 860 ASCII characters. A DMx is about 30 times smaller than a 39 bar code, it can therefore be printed on smaller parts.
AGICOM provides a range of DMx marking solutions from the material and the marking software to the reading systems.
WHY CARRY OUT DATA MATRIX CODES (DMx) IN ELECTROCHEMICAL MARKING ?
(see "electrochemical marking" section)
- high resolution permanent marking can be obtained without stressing the material
- soft and very hard metal marking
- the use of the new POD software allows for a fast and easy marking of variable information such as the DMX.
- economical
- possibility of marking very big pieces
- accreditation by important aeronautical companies
THE DATA MATRIX (DMx) BY DOT MARKER AND BY THE LASER
(see"dot marker" and "laser marking" sections)
Dot marker and the laser guarantee a permanent marking on metal and plastic controlled by a PC.
They allow:
- high speed marking
- fast data entry
- no consumables
