Engraving Pens

(PH)

Precision marking without the shake

Pneumatic engraving pens and air scribes are essential precision tools for permanent marking, identification, and cleaning across various industries. From heavy industrial workshops marking steel structures to delicate restoration work or fossil preparation, these tools provide durable results on demanding materials like hardened steel, glass, ceramics, plastics, and wood.

The hidden risks of standard pneumatic scribes

Standard pneumatic engraving pens operate at extremely high frequencies to drive the stylus into the material. In conventional designs, this rapid reciprocating movement transfers significant vibration directly into the operator's fingertips and hand. Because these tools must be held tightly like a pen for precision work, the transmission of vibration is intense. Prolonged use of standard scribes frequently leads to numbness—often called "white fingers"—and significantly increases the risk of developing permanent Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS) over time.

Why low vibration is critical for engraving

Minimizing vibration in engraving applications is crucial for two primary reasons: operator health and marking quality.

1. Health & Safety: Reducing vibration helps protect the operator, allowing for significantly longer safe working times (lower A(8) exposure) without risking nerve damage.
2. Precision & Quality: A heavily vibrating tool is difficult to control accurately. By minimizing the "buzzing" sensation, the operator gains steadier control over the stylus tip. This results in cleaner, more legible markings and substantially reduces the fatigue associated with gripping a vibrating handle for extended periods.

IPT’s recoilless solution

IPT addresses the vibration issue at the source with our patented "recoilless" air cushion technology. Unlike standard tools where the internal piston impacts the casing, our mechanism balances the forces internally using an air cushion. This design reduces vibration levels by up to 80% compared to conventional air scribes. The result is a tool that runs smoothly with low noise and low air consumption, providing the necessary power for deep marking without the harmful recoil.
