by Bernard Martin Technomark has introduced Tempo, an innovative integrated marking solution designed for high-performance and traceability in industrial settings. The Technomark Tempo is a state-of-the-art marking system designed to seamlessly integrate into production lines. With its compact size and advanced capabilities, Tempo delivers high-precision, permanent markings for traceability and compliance in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and medical devices. Technomark's Tempo integrates smoothly into existing production environments, interfacing with PLCs and other automation systems. Its compact and modular design allows for flexible installation, minimizing disruption to workflows. Tempo, part of the Inline.series, is an electromagnetic dot peen marking machine tailored for automated environments. The versatile marking head can be mounted on three sides, and the rack-mountable controller simplifies installation. The system features ergonomic software developed in-house, a 16-channel card, and Ethernet TCP-IP connectivity (Profinet and Ethernet IP). An integrated maintenance warning and prevention system further enhances operational efficiency by ensuring smooth, uninterrupted production. Integration and Design The Tempo system is distinguished by its ease of integration and compact design. The three-sided mounting capability of the marking head and the rack-mountable controller simplify installation. Removable and lockable cables, combined with 360° positioning, ensure the machine can adapt to a wide range of industrial environments. Connectivity and Communication Today's industrial environments demand advanced connectivity, and Tempo meets these requirements with Ethernet TCP-IP, Profinet, and Ethernet IP compatibility. These features enable seamless integration into automated production lines and reliable communication with other equipment, aided by an integrated switch function. Performance and Durability The Tempo system delivers adjustable marking depth and force, allowing it to work effectively on a variety of materials, from metals to plastics. High-contrast, permanent marks, including intricate data matrix codes, enhance traceability. The system operates at speeds of up to three characters per second and is designed for continuous 24/7 operation. Its anodized aluminum chassis, steel covers, and protective casing ensure durability, even in demanding industrial environments. This robust design minimizes maintenance requirements, maximizing uptime and productivity. Applications in Key Industries The Technomark Tempo has applications across several industries. In aerospace, it ensures stringent traceability for critical components. In automotive manufacturing, it complies with VIN and part marking regulations, improving quality control. For medical devices, it supports Unique Device Identification (UDI) to meet regulatory standards. Benefits of Tempo The system’s fast marking speeds and seamless integration streamline production processes. High-precision marks improve traceability, allowing for clear identification and tracking of parts throughout their lifecycle. Additionally, its minimal maintenance requirements translate into significant cost savings over time. How Tempo Compares When compared to traditional marking methods, Tempo stands out for its versatility and cost-efficiency. While laser marking systems may offer similar results, they often require a higher initial investment and incur greater operational costs. Tempo provides a more accessible alternative, particularly for small to medium-sized operations, without compromising on quality or reliability. Technomark Tempo offers a technically sound and efficient solution for integrated industrial marking. With its advanced capabilities, ease of integration, and robust performance, it positions itself as a strong candidate for the future of marking technology. For a closer look at Tempo in action, watch the video below to see how this marking solution is the future of industrial marking systems. And don't forget that Leading Marks offers comprehensive support, from system selection to integration and after-sales service, ensuring that Tempo enhances your production workflow and quality standards.

Leading Marks is honored to announce the addition of Honeywell scanning solutions to our industrial solutions product mix. Honeywell makes barcode scanning easy! That’s why Honeywell barcode readers are plug and play with industry-leading scan performance, making even the most difficult-to-read barcodes look good. From warehouse supply chains, manufacturing, to hospital patient care, Honeywell barcode scanners are purpose-built for the demands of your business. This includes:
Leading Marks can help you with traceability from the shop floor where machine to machine communication and data-collection is crucial to mobilizing reporting from the warehouse or in the field.
Traceability is common for collection, look-up and sharing of data. Whether it is Asset Tracking, EH&S Inspections, QA/QC Controls, Work-in-process, Assembly builds, or Field Service reporting industry is driving the need for traceability from cradle to grave. Why is traceability important for your organization? What’s the value-add with the potential of data collected through mobile apps or plant-floor software packages?
by Laurie Barcaskey When I started Leading Marks in June of 2014 it was exciting, frightening and everything entrepreneurs prepare for (and some things they don’t!) Over the last three years I have researched and chosen vendors and products that are current with innovative solutions and supportive staff. This includes global names in the marking and traceability arena. Some I’ve known for years and others only more recently.
My interaction with you on these projects allowed me to gain insight to other manufacturing challenges. And I value the lessons I have learned, the information you have shared, and most of all for becoming not only my customer, but my friend. The one lesson I have learned is that “Traceability” is not an isolated need for any one particular industry. Traceability pertains to assets, and assets are defined by the organization, and the process. The asset has attributes that help define and track through the various process to help organizations capitalize on the information captured for delivery updates, insure stock availability, confirm proof of delivery, proof of work, and a multitude of other aspects that minimize an organizations risk. Should you be considering a project with me now, I hope to gain your trust and partner with you to implement the solution. Should you be considering a new marking or traceability project – give me a shot! ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

by Laurie Barcaskey The Boss Buddy label system enables better clarity and traceability than cast-in data. Traceability of cast products starts when the patterns are being manufactured. Important data such as date codes, order numbers or other information that needs to survive the life of the casting. Now, you can replace plastic tape material with adhesive-backed foil material with the Boss Buddy! An equipment package for this requirement starts with a pneumatically-operated bench model impact press that has been tooled with marking equipment specific to the customer’s marking requirements. Marking legends manually changed through individual type characters and/or multiple character segment set up. Packages can be operated with dual hand controls, or automated and assembled to include a table and safety precautions. PLC interface allows programming cycle counts. Contact us for more details!
