​Laurie Barcaskey, Founder of Leading Marks, will be highlighting industrial marking products and solutions. ​
Leading Marks Rising Rust Belt a Regional Revitalization Economic Summi
Updating your marking systems provides a great foundation for improved manufacturing processes which in turn lead to safer workplaces and cost savings.
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – As the leaders of three area chambers of commerce worked to become better acquainted with one another, they realized that their communities were, by and large, facing the same issues. That realization led to a regional conference this fall focusing on regional redevelopment.

The inaugural Rising Rust Belt Regional Revitalization Economic Summit is planned for Oct. 6 and 7. Hosted by the Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber, Shenango Valley Chamber of Commerce and Lawrence County Regional Chamber of Commerce, it will be held at the Park Inn by Radisson in West Middlesex, Pa. 
​
The leaders of all three chambers – James Dignan, Youngstown/Warren’s president and CEO; Sherris Moreira, Shenango Valley’s executive director; and Alex McCoy, Lawrence County’s executive director – are all relatively new to their positions, with each having joined their chamber within the past three years.

Times: 8 am – 4 pm.

Integrating Part Marking into the Machining Process Reduces Production Time.

6/3/2019

0 Comments

 
Marking workpieces is an essential part of the production process to support traceability, batch separation, batch tracking and production documentation. Would you like to be able to mark parts without changing to a separate machine and interrupting production?  Integrating the marking process directly into your overall machining process makes it easy to mark parts, especially turned pieces, quickly, affordably and flexibly.

Examples of Zeus Marking Tools, Conical, Roll, and Spring Return Segment Marking Tools
​
Zeus Roll Marking tools can mark your pieces with a part number, a logo, or any number of impressions. Zeus can even make custom dies. ​
These marking tools are designed so the dies can be easily switched out by operators so the marking tools  can mark different workpieces. 
​
Zeus offers four types of dies to fill just about any requirement:

​
  • Revolving rolls. These custom built are designed to handle the diameter of each work piece.  Rolls are particularly useful for large and mid-sized series and for recurring components.
  • Spring return rolls and segments. Maximum flexibility since rolls of segments can be used for work pieces with varying diameters. and marking segments/rolls can be easily swapped out.
  • Conical rolls.  Custom conically shaped built roll adapted to the diameter of the work piece.  Conical marking rolls are well suited to large and mid-sized series, and recurring components.
