Marking Pressure Chart

Last Update a year ago
The CMT marking machine that your application requires depends on your specific marking requirements. The following information is required to determine the proper impact marker for your application:
- Material of part being marked
- Character size required
- Number of characters required
Marking Pressure Data:
Static Stamping Pressure per Character
Pressure required per character: Consider the character size and the material to determine the pressure per character required.
Total Marking Pressure required: To calculate the total marking pressure required, multiply the pressure per character times the total number of characters. This gives the total pressure required for the marking application.
Example
Marking Parameters:
Characters: 4
Character size: 1/8"
Material: Steel
Force per character: 1500lbs (from the chart above)
Total force required: 1500*4 = 6,000 lbs
