Today, we are sampling scribing for a German-based brand, Thielmann.

The customer primarily manufactures austenitic stainless steel products, including kitchenware and medical devices. The customer learned from its stainless steel raw material supplier in China that our scribing machines are popular in the metallurgical industry for high-end applications. The customer contacted us to request samples to verify the results.

The sample jars have not yet arrived due to the customer's need to perform the actual test. We use an ordinary steel plate engraved with the content that the customer wants to test. The customer typically uses European standard 1.4306 (American standard 304L) and 1.4404 (American standard 316L) stainless steel due to its specific standards and composition. The Chinese standard is slightly different. We will test scribing once we receive the actual sample.

FAQ

Can CNMarking test my own samples before I choose a machine?

Yes. For most marking, cleaning and welding projects, sample testing is the fastest way to confirm contrast, depth, speed and fixture requirements before final configuration.

What information should I send for a quotation?

Please send the material, part size, marking or cleaning area, required result, production volume and any automation or traceability requirements. Photos or short videos of the current process are also helpful.
