The CMT manual numbering head offers a significant upgrade over traditional individual steel type for indention marking. Featuring solid engraved wheels, this advanced system eliminates the need for frequent tooling changes when updating marking legends. The wheels can be quickly rotated to the desired marking configuration, resulting in faster adjustments and reduced downtime. This improvement not only reduces tooling changeover costs but also increases overall production efficiency, making it a cost-effective and time-saving solution for precision marking.
