The typical marking depth of a scribe marking machine can vary depending on several factors, including:
- Material Hardness:Harder materials, such as metals and ceramics, generally require deeper marks than softer materials like plastics.
- Stylus Tip:The type and size of the stylus tip will also affect the marking depth. Carbide and diamond tips can produce deeper marks than softer materials.
- Machine Settings:The pressure applied by the stylus and the speed of the machine can also influence the marking depth.
In general, scribe marking machines can produce marks ranging from a few thousandths of an inch to several hundredths of an inch deep. The exact depth can be adjusted to meet specific requirements.
