When it leaves the factory, every vehicle must be identified with a 17-character number which appears on its car registration document: This VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) uses a standardized serial number to make each vehicle unique.
Automotive manufacturers, dealer shops, spare parts dealers, vehicle insurance companies and even individuals make use of VIN engraving and etching machines to print these unique codes on various parts of the vehicles depending on the purpose.
Some add extra VIN engravings as a proactive security feature to act as a deterrent to vehicle thieves or to help them identify stolen vehicles and spare parts while others add VIN engravings to comply with local regulations.
For your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) marking on chassis, you need a perfectly suited tool, able to mark onto the hardest steels now used in automotive products.
Gravotech marking solutions for VIN marking can be used with standard and customized marking machines, integrable into the lines. The scribe marking engraves a permanent mark on the chassis of the vehicle and meets all the requirements of this very specific deep marking of the automotive sector.
Gravotech standard scribing solutions are made to be integrated on production lines, fully automated or manually operated.
