I'm not sure if this is the best forum to pose this question, but since it does impact a note on a drawing I'll ask it here.
The company that I am at now is not accustomed to having sheet metal parts physically marked by any methods. I am from a background of commercial, semiconductor, and aerospace. In my experience, we part marked all of our parts either by bag and tag, peen, rubber stamp, engraving, roll marking, etc. I would like to have the parts manufactured for us to be identified by either rubber stamp, or bag and tag, but I am getting a little bit of resistance from others. I believe it is because it is something new to them.
I see the benefits of having a part marked being traceablity and part identification during assembly. Recently we had to similar enclosures going through assembly at the same time, and they were being used on the wrong builds. There was no part marking for easy identification.
What other pros are there to part marking, and what are the cons? What are you guys doing?
Thanks
