InfoTag® Billet Tagging System:
- Ensures data accuracy and cost-effective, up-to-the-minute inventory status.
- Utilizes commercially available scanning devices to read industry standard bar codes.
- Track products throughout manufacturing processes.
Identify & Track Billets with Laser Marked tags:
Variable Message Data (alphanumeric) & Logos marked directly on heat resistant stainless steel tags.
Bar Codes: Code 128 recommended for hot mill environments but DataMatrix, & Code 39 can also be marked.
Features
- Custom-engineered system design to match your mill geometry
- Heavy-duty design for hot mill environments
- Automatic mill download of tag information to be marked
- State-of-the-art CO2 Laser-marking technology
- Tag is designed for superior laser mark ability and mark survival after attachment to 2000°F (1100°C) hot steel
- Redundant weld attachment of tags using two (2) MIG welder/wire feeder sets applying two (2) end welds to the tag
- Alternative tag attachment via Nail for high alloy and/or stainless steel production
