ME3000S Standard
The ME3000S is ideal for marking a wide range of components with either a permanent black oxide mark or a below surface etch mark. It features a timer to enable consistent marks on each component. Electrochemical marking does not deform the surface of the material so is also ideal for thin wall section, critical components, very large, awkward shaped parts and fully hardened parts. Our systems are approved for Aerospace and Nuclear with a range of high purity lab tested electrolytes and our stainless steel electrolyte has been cytotoxicity tested for safe use on surgical instruments/implants.
If you are marking multiple metal types we would recommend the ME3000T as it allows you to create and store program files so the settings for each material are easy to retrieve when needed.
The ME3000S Marking Kit comes with everything you need to get started except the stencil (see options below).

Fixtures to Improve Productivity
We have in-house design capability utilising Solidworks CAD software, 3D printing and a workshop for making bespoke fixtures, tooling, enclosures and marking workstations. Here are a few examples of some low cost fixtures we have made for electrochemical marking for exact stencil locating on the part and also to enable faster marking cycles.
