Printing and Marking Solutions in the Steel and Metallurgy Industry
Marking of pipes, profiles, bars, and sheets in extreme environments
Steelmaking and metallurgy are sectors with extreme production conditions. High temperatures, vibrations, metallic dust, and hot surfaces pose unique challenges for marking systems. Every steel product, including bars, pipes, profiles, sheets, and coils, must be identified with a cast code, dimensions, grade, and certification. The most robust technologies for these environments include high-power fiber lasers, inkjet systems with heat-resistant inks up to 250 degrees Celsius, dot peen marking systems, and paint jet marking systems.

EN Compliance and Traceability in Steelmaking
EN standards for steel products, such as EN 10204 for inspection certificates, require permanent marking with verifiable identification data. Traceability from casting to finished product is a growing requirement among major buyers in the automotive, marine, and construction sectors. Automatic DOD marking systems integrated into rolling and drawing lines ensure continuous marking without reducing production speed. Automatic code verification using long-range readers completes the quality loop. Explore solutions for DataMatrix on metal.
