Abstract
A parts marking system has memory for storing data indicative of at least one algorithm associated with at least one object material and logic configured to display the at least one algorithm to a display device and receive a user input for at least one part in response to the displayed algorithm.
Claims33
A parts marking system, comprising:
- memory for storing data indicative of at least one algorithm associated with at least one object material;
- logic configured to display the at least one algorithm to a display device and receive a user input for at least one part in response to the displayed algorithm.
The parts marking system of claim 2, wherein the logic is further configured to store data indicative of at least one parts marking alternative selected by the user.
A parts marking method, comprising the steps of:
- identifying a part for analysis;
- performing a label algorithm if a label is desired;
- performing a function, functional failure, failure mode, and failure effect analysis related to application of the label on the identified part;
- determining consequences related to the label falling off of the part;
- recommending a label based upon information obtained in the performing a label step, performing a function step, and determining step;
- performing at least one direct parts marking (DPM) algorithm if a DPM technique is desired;
- analyze at least one DPM technique available for the part;
- and
- recommending at least one DPM technique based on the analysis.
A parts marking method, comprising the steps of:
- storing data indicative of at least one algorithm associated with at least one object material;
- displaying the at least one algorithm to a display device;
- and
- receiving a user input for at least one part in response to the displayed algorithm.
A parts marking system, comprising:
- memory configured to store algorithm data indicative of at least one algorithm associated with an object material, the algorithm data comprising technical limitation data defining at least one marking technique;
- and
- logic configured to display the at least one algorithm based upon an input indicating the object material.
A parts marking method, comprising:
- configuring parts marking options based upon an implementation strategy;
- storing data indicative of a plurality of parts for parts marking analysis;
- receive data indicative of a selection of parts marking options corresponding to the part;
- storing data indicative of a determined best parts marking alternative;
- receiving data indicative of a marking procedure corresponding to the selected alternative;
- and
- generating at least one report based upon a user input associated with the best part marking alternative and marking procedure corresponding to the alternative.
