compiled and written by Bernard Martin

The Tapmatic Scribewriter II stands out as a really unique solution for CNC machine marking applications, delivering precision, speed, and adaptability. Whether for part identification, serial numbers, or intricate markings, the Scribewriter II excels across a wide range of materials and applications.

Efficient and Versatile Performance
The Scribewriter II is engineered to mark materials up to 62 HRC in hardness and can accommodate surface variations of up to 5mm, ensuring consistent and accurate results. Unlike traditional marking tools, the Scribewriter performs without spindle rotation, making it faster, quieter, and ideal for high-throughput operations.

Its straightforward programming integrates seamlessly into CNC environments.
Operators can input marking programs directly at the machine control or use engraving software at their programming workstation, offering flexibility for both shop-floor and pre-programmed operations.

Adjustable Force and Depth for Customization
A big  feature of the Scribewriter II is its adjustable marking force and depth. Controlled by a knurled adjustment sleeve and a reference scale, the tool allows for quick, precise tuning without the need to change springs. This ensures optimal performance across different materials and marking requirements.

The Tapmatic Scribewriter’s adjustment settings range from 0 to 7, providing fine control for gradually increasing force. For applications involving particularly hard materials, a special "H" setting is available, enabling effective marking at maximum force.

To assist operators, the tool includes a high-quality magnification lens for accurate reading of force settings, ensuring consistent results regardless of the material or application.

Innovative Coolant System and Stylus Options
The Scribewriter II is equipped with high-pressure internal coolant capability, which enhances stylus lubrication and increases marking force. This feature minimizes wear on the carbide stylus, extending its lifespan and reducing maintenance downtime.

The carbide stylus itself is easy to change, offering durability and longevity even in demanding environments. Tapmatic provides a variety of stylus options, including:

• 90° and 60° carbide styluses for standard scribing applications.
• A new ballpoint stylus that delivers smooth, continuous lines with shallower depth compared to traditional scribing points. This option is particularly useful for applications requiring clean, visible markings without significant surface penetration.

​​Precision Without Compromise
The Tapmatic Scribewriter II empowers manufacturers to achieve high-precision marking without compromising on speed or versatility. Its user-friendly design, adjustable settings, and high-performance features make it an indispensable tool for CNC machining centers in industries ranging from aerospace and automotive to general manufacturing.

By reducing noise, simplifying programming, and extending tool life, the Scribewriter II provides a cost-effective solution for permanent part marking on a variety of materials.
