COUTH presents its new scratch marking machine with a 50×40 marking area and a spindle mechanism. This compact, durable machine is designed to produce high-quality marks without distortion.
In today’s industrial processes, permanent part marking must not only ensure traceability but also provide legibility, stability, and visual quality that meet the demands of each industry.
A scribing machine designed for high-quality markings
The new 50×40 scribing machine has been designed to produce high-quality permanent markings, preventing distortion in characters and logos. This feature is particularly important in applications where the final appearance of the marking plays a key role: identification numbers, logos, part numbers, or visible markings on metal components.
The system’s rigidity ensures stable stroke geometry even when operating at high marking pressures. As a result, the machine helps produce clean, uniform, and clearly legible marks.
Mechanical architecture inspired by CNC solutions
One of the distinguishing features of the new 50×40 ball screw marking machine is its mechanical design. The punch’s motion is transmitted via ground ball screws, combined with two linear guides per axis. This configuration provides precision, rigidity, and stability to the entire system.
The result is a scribing marking solution particularly well-suited for industrial environments that require repeatability, high-quality finishes, and reliable operation over long periods of time.
Compact design for demanding integrations
Its 50 x 40 mm marking area covers a wide range of industrial identification applications, while maintaining compact external dimensions that facilitate its integration into production lines, automated stations, special fixtures, and robotic cells.
In addition, the machine incorporates features designed for real-world plant integration, such as a side-mounted connector and a sturdy metal guard for use in environments with welding robots.
Lower Maintenance and Higher Availability
In many industrial applications, productivity depends as much on the quality of the equipment as on its availability. For this reason, the 50×40 leadscrew marker has been designed with robust mechanics and extended maintenance intervals.
Unlike other marking systems in which belts are subjected to high stresses, in this machine the conversion of motor torque into linear motion is performed by the leadscrew. This reduces the strain on certain transmission components and helps improve the overall durability of the system.
Simple Drive and COUTHsmartbox Control
The 50×40 lead screw marker uses high-power stepper motors—a simple and reliable solution that avoids the complexity of systems with servomotors. Additionally, it is controlled by COUTHsmartbox, the control system used by COUTH markers.
This facilitates commissioning, ease of use for the operator, and integration into environments where other COUTH marking solutions are already in place.
The product line includes two main configurations: standard and with protection via sliding plates.
The standard version can be retrofitted with the protection system at a later date, allowing the machine to be adapted to new application requirements.
A solution for traceability, identification, and high-quality marking
The new COUTH 50×40 spindle-type marking machine is particularly well-suited for companies seeking a compact, robust, and precise solution for the permanent marking of metal parts.
Its combination of brand quality, mechanical rigidity, low maintenance, and ease of integration makes it a particularly attractive option for industrial traceability applications, component identification, logo marking, and automated production lines.
