Integrated marking for traceability and process reliability
In automated material flows, one factor quickly becomes crucial: being able to clearly identify every part. Without clear marking, incorrect allocations occur, resulting in additional manual effort.
With the KASTOsort - Marking Options, marking takes place exactly where it delivers the greatest benefit: directly within the ongoing process. Between removal of the cut piece from the saw and sorting into the container, the sections are marked in a marking station – without any additional manual intervention.
Various technologies are available depending on the requirements:
- Needle marking for permanent mechanical labelling
- Inkjet printing for fast marking
- Labelling including automatic transport by the robot
- Laser marking for highly precise and durable results
This creates clear, process-reliable markings that enable end-to-end traceability – from machining through to further processing or delivery.
The advantages of the KASTOsort - Marking Options at a glance
- Automatic marking directly within the material flow – without additional process steps
- Full traceability through clear identification of every workpiece
- Flexible marking technologies depending on the application and material
- Integration of order data, quantities and time stamps
- Reduction of mix-ups and manual errors
- Seamless integration into the machine control system
- Individually configurable marking content and layouts
- Support for logos and customer-specific data
For which applications and industries is marking with the KASTOsort Marking Options suitable?
KASTOsort - Marking Options are used wherever workpieces need to be clearly identified and reliably allocated. Especially in automated processes with several machining steps, integrated marking ensures that every part remains traceable at all times.
Typical applications include linked sawing and material handling processes in which sections not only have to be transported and sorted, but must also remain traceable. Marking is carried out automatically between machining and depositing – without any additional effort in the process.
In practice, this means fewer manual interventions, fewer sources of error and clear allocation along the entire process chain.
The solution is used, among other areas, in mechanical and plant engineering, in the steel and metal trade and in metalworking. Especially in these industries, where components often have similar geometries or are processed in large quantities, clear marking is crucial for a reliable material flow.
KASTOsort also offers clear advantages in areas with increasing requirements for documentation, traceability and data availability. Automatic marking creates a reliable basis for downstream processes such as commissioning, assembly or dispatch.
Frequently asked questions about KASTOsort - Marking Options
KASTOsort - Marking Options offer needle marking, inkjet printing, labelling and laser marking. The selection depends on the application, material and requirements for durability and readability.
Order data, such as order number and material, current production data, such as quantity, batch numbers, date and time, as well as freely definable texts and logos can be used.
Marking is carried out automatically between removal from the metal saw and depositing in the container, directly within the material flow.
Yes, the marking software is fully integrated into the machine control system and enables central configuration.
Yes, labels are printed automatically, picked up by the robot and allocated to the respective order item.
Yes, depending on the layout, content and position of the marking, a wide range of material shapes can be marked, depending on the dimensions of the cut piece.
Automatic marking supports end-to-end data use and traceability. This is an important basis for digital and networked production processes.
