Abstract:
Due to the increasing demand of faster production, the need of technology for faster marking machines and marking techniques has developed to a greater extent. Markmate Pneumatic machine of Marks Pryor is a machine used for quiet, efficient and fast marking using the technique of dot peen marking. This paper focuses on effects of change in the parameters of Markmate Pneumatic machine for the improvement of utility and efficiency of the machine which will eventually lead to better marking. Keeping the pin angle for penetration constant, other parameters like marking pressure and sample materials are changed turn by turn to provide optimum results for each material. The results are checked and verified by using appropriate optimization technique using Minitab.
