Metal marking questions

What can Cougartron marking systems mark?

Cougartron marking systems can be used for logos, serial numbers, QR codes, maker’s marks, batch data, product names and part IDs on conductive metal surfaces.

Which materials can be marked?

Electrochemical marking can be used on conductive metal surfaces including stainless steel, aluminium, mild steel, copper and titanium. Laser marking can also be used on a wide range of metals and treated surfaces depending on the setup.

Which marking method should I choose?

Choose electrochemical marking for stencil-based marks with fluids and consumables. Choose dot peen marking for an indented mark in metal, especially when the part will be painted or surface treated. Choose laser marking for direct marks without a physical stylus. Test the chosen method on the actual part and finish.

Do I need a stencil printer?

You need a stencil printer when using electrochemical marking for repeat marks, logos, QR codes, text or production data. Laser marking does not use physical stencils.

Which marking fluid should I choose?

Choose marking fluid by material and process. Stainless steel, aluminium and titanium can require different marking fluids, so check the product page or ask us before ordering.

Can I add marking to an existing Cougartron weld cleaner?

In some cases, yes. Marking and etching sets are available for compatible Cougartron weld cleaning setups. Check compatibility before ordering.

Can I send a sample requirement before choosing?

Yes. Send us the material, mark size, mark type and a photo of the part. We can help recommend the right machine, stencil, fluid or laser marking setup.
