AIAG Updates 2D Direct Parts Marking Guideline to Adapt to Recent Standards and Educate Industry Users
The Automotive Industry Action Group's (AIAG) Direct Parts Marking Committee has revised its two-dimensional (2D) Direct Parts Marking Guideline to educate end-users on the latest standards and most commonly used direct part marking methods utilized in a range of industries including military, aerospace, electronics and automotive.
Southfield, Mich. (Vocus/PRWEB ) July 22, 2009 -- The Automotive Industry Action Group's (AIAG) Direct Parts Marking Committee has revised its two-dimensional (2D) Direct Parts Marking Guideline to educate end-users on the latest standards and most commonly used direct part marking methods utilized in a range of industries including military, aerospace, electronics and automotive.
The 2D Direct Marking Guideline, initially released in 2003, provides the latest information for the marking and reading of Data Matrix and/or QR Code symbols that utilize inkjet, laser etched or dot peen technology. The updated document will give the best practices for 2D direct marking and include its most recent standards for AIM DPM Quality Guideline 1/2006, ISO 15415, MIL-STD-130N, Applicable NASA HD-BK-6003, NASA-STD-6002 and SAE AS9132.
This guideline presents items to consider when evaluating marking projects such as:
● Features and benefits of laser, inkjet and dot-peen
● Qualities of each symbology
● Reading techniques
● Mark quality verification
● Emerging technologies
● Code placement techniques
In developing the guideline, AIAG's Direct Part Marking Team obtained input from automotive and non-automotive industry standards and companies. The result is a comprehensive document focusing on current 2D symbology parts identification methods, the common needs of manufacturing and assembly locations, and performance capabilities of various marking and scanning technologies. The Direct Part Marking Team is made up of volunteers from Chrysler, Cognex, Columbia Marking Tools, Control Laser, Delphi, Ford Motor Company, Freedom Technologies Corp., General Motors, Hoffman Systems, HTE, McNaught and McKay, Mecco, Microscan, OASIS, QED Systems, Rofin, Siemens, Telesis Technologies, Inc. and Webscan Inc.
