The flexibility of the AutoMarkX just became more flexible with the addition of the new rotary workholding station. Not only can the message be etched on a single side of the shank, now using the new rotary workholding station, marking on opposite sides of the shank as well as at the end of tool has just become even easier. This combined with the ability to create and mark unique tool identification codes (QR Codes) raises the bar in laser marking machines.
