Labels for Mechanical engineering Marking for the machine, the part and the service call

From the rating plate on the machine through the warning sign at the hazard point to the acceptance record at the customer: in machine building a marking has to stay assignable for the whole service life. We manufacture to your specification and transfer your approved data faithfully into print.

Labels and printed documents

What gets marked in machine building

From the machine down to the terminal, and the right form for every service call.

Machine and rating plates
01

Machine and rating plates

For machines, plants, units and tooling. Manufacturer, type, serial number, year of construction and technical values are transferred faithfully from your approved artwork, including variable serial and year data from your system.

Safety and warning labels
02

Safety and warning labels

For crush, cut, hot and electrical zones, guards and operating points. Signs and layout follow ISO 7010 and ISO 3864-2. Which sign belongs at which point follows from your risk assessment, and that is exactly how we produce it.

Component and spare part marking
03

Component and spare part marking

For motors, pumps, valves, sensors and spare parts. Serial and batch reference in plain text and as a DataMatrix to ISO 28219. We measure code quality to ISO/IEC 15415 and supply the measurement report, along with the matching picking lists and delivery notes.

Cable, terminal and hose marking
04

Cable, terminal and hose marking

For control cabinets, wiring looms and hydraulic or pneumatic lines. Wrap-around, flag and tag formats, among others. On electrical equipment IEC 60445 governs the identification of terminals and conductors, and we sample the construction on your line.

Maintenance, lubrication and inspection labels
05

Maintenance, lubrication and inspection labels

For lubrication points, test equipment, guards and service points. Interval, medium, status and date come from your maintenance plan. Whether a construction withstands oil, coolant or cleaner is something we test on the actual medium rather than on a data sheet.

Instruction handbooks, records and lockout tags
06

Instruction handbooks, records and lockout tags

Instruction handbooks and safety information as a booklet, folded sheet or insert. Plus commissioning and acceptance records, maintenance pads, service reports and lockout tags, as numbered single sheets, pads or carbonless sets to your template.

Products for mechanical engineering

What we produce for this industry, sorted by product area. Each card leads to the product page with materials and versions.

Technical basis

What we discuss before choosing the material

A material recommendation without the substrate, the mounting position, the temperature profile and the media at the part is guesswork. We clarify these four points with you.

Substrate
  • Powder and texture coatings accept adhesive differently from bare metal
  • A visible film of oil or coolant prevents adhesion even when the adhesive is designed for it
  • Engineering plastics with low surface energy are something we test on the original part
Media at the part
  • Oil, diesel and cleaners appear in the data sheet as single tests, not as evidence of sustained contact
  • Coolant needs its own test profile of formulation, concentration, temperature and contact time
  • What the face material withstands does not automatically apply to the print and the laminate
Temperature
  • Application and service temperature are two different values and both belong in the specification
  • A short-term peak from a data sheet is not a continuous rating
  • Hotspots, cooling, steam and washing form a load profile that comes from your machine
Handling and legibility
  • Gloves, tools and swarf stress warning and rating plates differently from storage
  • We assess vibration against the frequency, acceleration and duration from your machine profile
  • We assess printed codes to ISO/IEC 15415 and 15416 and supply the measurement report with them

Standards and responsibility

What the standard governs and what we supply

The standards in machine building address the machine and its design. We implement what you have released from them and record the material code used and the layout version.

  • The Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 generally applies from 20 January 2027
  • ISO 7010 and ISO 3864-2 provide the signs and the layout, the selection follows your risk assessment
  • ISO 20607 sets out the drafting principles for the instruction handbook, we produce your approved version

When the problem is not the label but the process before it

Machine, configuration and service data already sit in your ERP, PLM or service system. With hummel360° we map how that becomes an order, print data and a traceable workflow. Built around your order flow, not off the shelf.

  • From the plate to the approved documentation

    A code on the rating plate can lead to handbooks, spare part lists or service information that you have released. Where it points and who sees what is something we define during the project. It does not replace the printed safety information on the machine.

  • Configuration data without retyping

    Type, serial number, year of construction and technical values arrive as a file or through an interface and become the rating plate and accompanying documents by rule. We set up the mapping of your fields during the project.

  • Replacement marking for authorised partners only

    Service partners order replacement plates and maintenance labels from a protected workflow, tied to the machine and to their role. You decide who may request a replacement rating plate.
