At COUTH, we offer dot-peen marking machines designed to ensure permanent, fast, and depth-adjustable marking on metals, alloys, stainless steel, and engineering plastics.
Our dot-peen marking machines set the standard in demanding industries such as steel manufacturing (for coding ingots, bars, and rolled steel), ensuring dot-peen marking with maximum legibility and wear resistance that complies with the strictest industrial standards.
High-speed mechanical marking machines for integration into production lines with tight production cycles, ensuring clear dot-peen marking at a constant rate.
Robust and versatile machines with well-balanced, high-precision guide mechanisms for general industrial applications.
High-performance systems designed to penetrate hard metals or surfaces intended for subsequent treatments such as painting or galvanizing.

Dot-peen marking is the most versatile and durable direct-impact identification technology on the market.
At COUTH, we design our dot-peen marking machines to drive a controlled-oscillation punch that strikes the material’s surface at high frequency.
This succession of dot-peens forms high-definition characters, logos, or Data Matrix codes, ensuring that the dot-peen marking remains intact on hard metals or plastics even after the most aggressive treatments in your plant.
Since 1954, at COUTH we have been designing and manufacturing dot-peen marking machines—both standard and custom—for leading companies in major industrial sectors. Our strength lies in a solid customer focus and a clear commitment to innovation, reinvesting 7% of our sales in R&D to ensure that every dot-peen mark meets the market’s most demanding standards.
With a direct presence through subsidiaries in Germany, Mexico, China, and Italy, and a distribution network covering more than 66 countries, COUTH offers you close, expert support. We guarantee that the integration of our dot-peen marking machines will optimize your traceability processes with maximum operational reliability.
The flexibility of our dot-peen marking machines allows them to perform reliably on a wide variety of industrial surfaces:
On metals and alloys (such as carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, and bronze), the material’s mechanical properties ensure deep, crisp dot-peen marking that is resistant to continuous wear and subsequent thermal processes.
On engineering plastics and high-density polymers (such as polypropylene, polyethylene, and polycarbonate), the adjustable punch force prevents cracks in the part while producing a high-definition mark.
Likewise, in composite materials, resins, and fiberglass, dot-peen marking provides a permanent mark without compromising structural integrity, ensuring compliance with traceability regulations in the automotive, aerospace, and capital goods sectors.
Micro-impact marking (or dot-peen marking) creates direct, permanent marks of characters, logos, and codes through consecutive high-frequency impacts. At COUTH, we design our micro-impact marking machines to offer a clean, safe, and environmentally friendly process that requires no additional consumables.
Our dot-peen marking machines stand out for their high operating speed, automation, and intuitive operation, adapting precisely to both smooth and curved surfaces. By adjusting the marking depth according to each material, we guarantee unalterable traceability with virtually no maintenance required—the only component that needs periodic replacement is the stamp itself.
Criteria for Selecting the Right Micro-Impact Marking Machine
To determine the optimal solution, at COUTH we analyze the critical variables of your production process:
The durability of direct impact makes this the go-to technology for the automotive and aerospace industries, where the identification of vehicle frames (VINs), structures, and components is vital for safety and regulatory compliance.
Similarly, sectors such as metallurgy, energy, defense, and electronics incorporate our dot-peen marking machines to ensure the traceability of tools, circuits, and equipment exposed to severe operating conditions or wear-and-tear processes.
The durability of dot-peen marking ensures the legibility and identification of each part throughout its entire life cycle.
At COUTH, we have been providing high-quality, highly functional solutions and products for industrial marking and traceability for over 65 years. We offer customized solutions designed to meet the demands and needs of all our customers!
