Vibro Peen Part Marking Systems
Vibro or vibro peen part marking is typically created by a pneumatically actuated machine or device. Unlike dot peen — where the dot placement is controlled — with vibro or vibropeen marking, the dots are positioned based on velocity of the X/Y movement and oscillation of the stylus.
Most vibro peen marks are contiguous line characters. Vibropeen marks can also be created on dot peen machines by creating contiguous dots that form a solid line and programming the interdot spacing.
Some specifications may refer to this method as Vibration Peen Mechanical or Vibro Peen Controlled.
Advantages:
- Easy to use
- High-speed marking
Disadvantages:
- Inconsistent depth, poor legibility and inconsistent size are typical
- Not considered low-stress marking
- Manual mode and some machine configurations do not offer control of the number of dots in the character
