ScribeWriter—No Spindle Rotation Required T


apmatic Corporation, which celebrated its 60th An- niversary this year, is best known for its complete line of tapping attachments and tap holders. In recent years the Tapmatic product line has been expanded to include innovative new tools for In Machine Marking. Tapmatic originally introduced the MH series stamping heads in 2004, the Tapmatic TapWriter for dot peen marking on machining centers in 2008 and this year the new Tapmatic ScribeWriter which scribes the workpiece using a floating carbide stylus. No spindle rotation is required


so the ScribeWriter is simple to install, and works with standard engraving software available for a variety of CNC machines. The marking pressure can be adjusted for marking soft or hardened materials. The photo above shows one of our customer’s applications marking a scale on a 60 HRc hardened steel plate. The feed rate used was 1000 mm/min (39.37 in/min). Marking speeds are only limited by the machines capabilities making the ScribeWriter one of the fastest methods of part marking. All three Tapmatic marking tools allow you to mark the part while you are machining it, eliminating the need for secondary marking operations. For additional information please call
