Can’t bring your part to us? We’ll bring the demo to you.

Every product has its own marking problem and because we design and build the machines in house we can solve almost any issue. Our engineers can visit your site, talk through your application and show you your own parts and materials being marked:

- Dot peen marking machines, from handheld to benchtop
- Laser marking and engraving machines
- Integrated systems built to sit on your production line
- Multi axis machines for the most difficult shapes
- Vision camera options for positioning and reading marks to improve traceability

You see the result on your own products and materials, in your own environment, before you decide anything.

That's what proper craftsmanship means to us. People who know the product because they built it.

Tomorrow is the Made in the Midlands Expo in Walsall. We've packed the van with some of our Machines to show off, plenty of Pryor Pens to laser-mark with people's names on them, and we're looking forward to lots of conversations with Manufacturers. We're there from (am until 3pm so if you're in the area why not pop along and say hello.

If you're a manufacturer, it's free to attend https://madeinthemidlands.com/events/made-in-the-midlands-expo-2026

Standard fibre lasers do a great job on most materials. Some jobs need more control.

The MarkMate Laser is now available with an optional 30W MOPA source, giving independent control over pulse width and repetition frequency. That opens up high-contrast black marking on stainless steel, colour marking, and fine detail on materials a standard pulsed laser can struggle with.

Same compact machine, same enclosed safety design, just a wider range of what you can mark and how it looks.

Compare both laser sources: https://machines.pryormarking.com/product/markmate-laser/

Accu Stadium, Huddersfield

What you'll find on the stand:
- Working laser marking and dot peen machines
- Our team, ready to talk through your application
- Pryor Pens we can laser mark with your name on them

Both events are free to attend for manufacturers, so there's no reason not to come and put your marking questions to us.

Can't get to either date? We'll bring a demo to your premises instead.

No compressor. No mains cable. No excuse not to mark it there and then.

The Pryor Portable Laser is built around a simple idea: the machine should go to the component, not the other way around. It's the world's first battery-powered, Class 1 safe portable laser marker that needs no compressed air line and no mains power connection to operate.

- Runs a full working day on battery, marking anywhere in the workshop or on site
- No compressor, no air lines to run, no restrictions on where you can mark
- Class 1 laser safety through a vacuum interlock system, safe to use around other workers without eyewear or guarding
- Interchangeable masks handle flat, curved and end-of-bar surfaces
- Mounted on wheels and moved by a single operator, no lifting gear needed

A £100,000 aero engine disc lives or dies by one thing: the mark on it.

Marking doesn't make a component stronger, lighter, or faster. It adds nothing to the part's performance. But without it, that component can't be fitted, tracked, maintained, or replaced. It's one of the only processes in aerospace manufacturing that adds zero engineering value and is completely non-negotiable in every other sense.

We've pulled everything we know about aerospace part marking into one guide:

- Why AS9132, MIL-STD-130, Spec 2000 and OEM specs like Rolls-Royce's JES131 overlap, and what that actually means for you as a supplier
- Why dot peen remains the default marking method for engine components
- How multi-axis and robotic marking cells handle discs, BLISKs and turbine rings that a fixed head can't reach
- Why verification isn't optional, and what a documented pass actually needs to show
