Efficiency that Exceeds Expectations

At MSI, we know you want an efficient and smooth factory floor. In order to make that happen, you need machines that eliminate operator fatigue, but are also easy to teach when you need to move the team around. You also need durability to meet your clients’ demands and exceed expectations. We believe you should have machines that run 24/7 for 20 years with minimal maintenance, and those machines should be clean, automated, and easy to use.

We’ve been working with the fastener and stud bolt industries for over 60 years, and we’ve applied that knowledge to other industries. Here’s how we can get you the best machine for your job to start cutting down time and fatigue in production.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a roll stamping machine?

A roll stamping machine presses a raised character die into the surface of a part while the part rotates against it, leaving a permanent impression. It is the most common method for marking the ends of round stock like bolts, studs, and shafts, because the die and the part do the work with no operator judgment involved. MSI MarkMate machines use this method.

What is the difference between roll stamping and dot peen marking?

Roll stamping presses a full character die into the part in one continuous motion. Dot peen marking uses a carbide stylus to strike a series of individual dots that form each character. Roll stamping is faster on cylindrical parts and leaves a cleaner, deeper mark. Dot peen is more flexible on flat or irregular surfaces and can change what it marks from part to part.

Why do metal parts need permanent marking?

Traceability. Heat numbers, lot codes, grade marks, and part numbers have to survive handling, heat treat, coating, and years of service. A mark that is pressed into the metal stays readable long after ink, labels, and tags are gone.

How many characters can a MarkMate machine mark?

That depends on the die and the diameter of the part. Every MSI marking machine is built to order around your part and your marking process, so the die gets sized to fit what you need on the part. Send us a sample or a drawing showing the required marking and we will spec it. [CONFIRM: if there is a standard character range, add it here. A concrete number makes this answer far stronger.]

Can a marking machine run inline with a parts feeder?

Yes. The AMM-24 AutoMarkMate is built to run with our FeedMate cylindrical parts feeder, so parts load, mark, and discharge without an operator handling each one. That setup is worth looking at when you are marking in volume and would rather have that operator somewhere else on the floor.

How long does it take to train an operator on a marking machine?

Most operators are running the machine within an hour. There is no programming to learn, and changeover between part sizes is straightforward. After delivery you get phone support from a real person in Beaumont, Texas.

What materials can MSI marking machines mark?

Carbon steel, stainless, and alloy steel cover most of what our machines see. The method matters more than the material: roll stamping works on anything that will take a permanent impression without cracking. If you are marking something unusual, send us a sample part and we will test it before you buy anything.
