Peen & Scribe marked Parts

Peen marking is important to parts identification requirements. The mark quality is important to quantify. Errors of shallowness reduce the longevity and durability of the identification of the parts themselves in case of wear and tear. Errors of excessive depth may create an ingress point for corrosion.

Difficult to quantify, each dot might be of a different depth, meaning that all the dots need to be measured. Scribe marks are equally tricky, because of variability and burrs that can be created.  

The video above illustrates the value of a large field of view, and of the features analysis capabilities built-in to the software.

Below, a features analysis screen shot illustrates the variability of different dots, and how readily the software can bin them as groups.
