How to guarantee marking in compliance with aeronautical standard DT05-89, while respecting space constraints and flexibility for parts of varying sizes?

 

 

In the aerospace industry, almost all components must be marked, and the marking of critical parts must meet strict standards. Our customer, a subcontractor to an aeronautical equipment manufacturer, needed a high-quality marking solution that complied with the industry’s specific requirements, in particular standard DT05-89.

This well-known subcontractor, specializing in the manufacture of aircraft engines, asked us to design a manual marking station for parts classified as “N2”, failure of which could have serious consequences for the engines.

Customer Challenge: Ensure compliance with the strict standards of the aeronautics industry and guarantee the flexibility of the marking station.

 

The customer’s main expectations were :

  • Ensuring compliance with standard DT05-89: Micro-percussion marking must meet the strict requirements of this standard, avoiding any excessive deformation or initiation of material breakage.
  • Respecting space constraints: The marking station must be manual and flexible, capable of processing parts of various shapes and sizes, including large parts, while fitting into a limited production space.
  • Optimize production cycles: a fast, modular process, allowing station extension for marking large parts

 

SIC Marking solution: A customized station equipped with an i143 micro-percussion head and automatic Z axis

 

To meet specific customer requirements, SIC Marking’s design team developed a 2-position manual station. It includes :

  • A chassis with a light curtain.
  • Removable drawer for enlarging the marking area.
  • A system of quick-change tooling developed specifically for precise positioning of parts to be marked.
  • Pilot-controlled Z axis with autosensing function to detect the part and guarantee perfect marking quality.
  • A portable reader used by the operator for two operations: entering the data to be marked, and reading back the Datamatrix once marking has been completed to check its content.
  • An E10 controller with specific software and production history to verify and prevent the marking of duplicate serial numbers.

 

Why is this the best solution?

The machine developed by SIC Marking complies with the DT05-89 standard, guaranteeing precise control of impact spacing and marking depth.

The solution is modular, easy to install and respects production line space constraints.

Last but not least, the marking station can be upgraded to accommodate future production runs, offering long-term flexibility.

Customer benefits

  • Productivity gains: Quick and easy changeover from one part production to another.
  • Compliance with DT05-89 standard: SIC MARKING expertise and micro-percussion technology ensure strict compliance with the standard.
  • Optimized traceability: long-lasting, precise marking of parts, essential for the requirements of the aeronautical sector.
