At the 2025 Automate Show in Detroit, we showcased automated coating and automated marking solutions for industrial applications. From our fully automated Rocklinizer solution for hard surface coating to our integrated dot peen and scribe marking units from Markator, our booth highlighted how manufacturers can elevate productivity, precision, and reliability in even the most demanding environments.

Rocklinizer + Robot = Automated Carbide Coating Breakthrough

Our demo featured the Rocklinizer in a robotic cell applying electrospark deposition (ESD) for consistent, repeatable hard surface coatings. With automated application of carbide coatings and other alloys, manufacturers can now enhance wear life and reduce downtime on tooling and components with minimal operator involvement. The integration of robotics with our Rocklinizer opens a new frontier in automated coating for industries ranging from automotive to aerospace.

Integrated Marking with Markator Units

Alongside our automated coating solution, we displayed our Markator Integral compact integration unit and MV5 U-Series controllers for seamless integrated marking. Whether you're looking for dot peen marking, scribe marking, or steel marking, these robust units allow for rapid, permanent automotive marking with minimal footprint and full automation compatibility.

With their ease of integration into production lines, these marking systems are ideal for automated marking where reliability and precision are non-negotiable.

Portable Marking with the FlyMarker mini

We also showcased the ultra-versatile FlyMarker mini — the ultimate in portable marking and handheld marking technology. Lightweight yet powerful, the FlyMarker mini is perfect for marking large or immobile parts on the shop floor or in the field, all without cables or cords.Its rugged construction and user-friendly interface make it the go-to solution for steel marking, asset identification, and automotive marking, especially where flexibility and mobility are required.
