A turnkey laser marking package supplied and installed by
Edward Pryor has marked some three million screwdrivers for
Stanley Tools over the last 18 months since the initial launch
of the company's prestigious new 'DynaGrip Pro' screwdriver
range.
The supply of this state-of-the-art integrated marking system
mutually complements over half a century of commercial activity
between two of Sheffield's leading, world-class, manufacturers.
World leaders in the manufacture of a wide range of hand
tools, Sheffield-based Stanley Tools required a dedicated
laser workstation system, for the permanent marking of screwdriver
blades with relevant catalogue number and tip size.
Customer requirements demanded the simultaneous marking of
a variety of diameters and lengths of blade as a continuous
process, with subsequent unloading and loading of purpose-designed
fixturing undertaken during the marking cycle. Optimum use
of equipment and target throughput could thus be achieved.
To eliminate possible stress raisers, a non-contact marking
method was required, while low consumable requirements and
competitive running costs were also important factors.
