Many mills throughout the world are turning to automated equipment to do their identification. Now, InfoSight Corporation has introduced the first automated slab tagging machine.
Until now, there has been no reliable system to automatically print and apply high quality bar coded tags to hot slabs, reducing man-hours and increasing personnel safety.
InfoSight’s Info-Tagger™ Automatic Slab Tagging System uses a high powered industrial CO2 laser to blacken the tag’s white surface allowing the reliable non-contact printing of large man-readable numbers, high quality bar codes, and logos. MIG welding technology, which has been automated in the automotive and steel industries for years, attaches the tag to 1800°F (1000°C) slabs. The result is large man-readable numbers, high quality bar codes, and logos that survives the high temperatures of newly cast steel slabs.
