"Modern automotive systems use an increasing amount of input data, so they need more sensors to provide that information," explains Hamlin production engineer, Brad Miller.

"Originally we used inkjet marking," says Miller, "which had some major drawbacks and limited suitability for the variation and volume of sensors we were making."

Miller's research into a more durable mark began on the internet, where he came across the website of Technifor Ltd, the UK subsidiary of the global industrial marking and traceability specialist.
"After we made contact I sent Technifor UK some samples to mark using their micro-percussion marking system," he says.

"Because the inkjet marking system requires consumables which are relatively expensive, as well as routine daily maintenance, there was an added cost saving," concludes Miller.
