our line of convex numbering heads, dies and holders. The Columbia 860R
roll marking unit is specially designed to be mounted as a station in an
automated production line or as a secondary station in an assembly
fixture. It will mark a variety of character sizes, in legends up to 3
1/2" long. This completely automatic, roll marking unit marks
unfinished or uneven surfaces easily with Columbia's patented, "seek
& find", roll marking system.

860R roll marking unit

Due to rolling action of the convex head, only part of the marking
legend contacts the surface at any one time. Pressures for roll marking
vary in terms of the number of characters in contact with the surface,
character size, material, and the marking radius.
