B Station Thick Turret Custom Logo Embossing Tool

The WYS Machinery B Station Thick Turret Custom Logo Embossing Tool is a special marking and shallow forming tool developed to create a fixed logo, symbol or identification profile directly in sheet metal.

The photographed tool consists of a matching upper-tool and lower-die assembly. The two working faces contain corresponding male and female profiles. During the programmed punch press stroke, the sheet is pressed between these matched profiles, causing localized material displacement and producing the required raised or recessed mark.

Unlike an ordinary punching tool, the custom logo embossing tool does not normally cut through the sheet or create a conventional slug. The mark becomes a permanent physical part of the workpiece.

The tool can be customized for:

• Company logos
• Product-brand marks
• Simple graphic symbols
• Direction arrows
• Orientation marks
• Inspection symbols
• Assembly marks
• Electrical symbols
• Safety or warning symbols
• Part-identification marks
• Quality-control marks
• Customer-specific graphic profiles

Not every customer requires a company logo. Some applications only require a fixed symbol, simple graphic, orientation indicator or production mark. For this reason, the product is also described as a Custom Symbol Embossing Tool and Custom Identification Marking Tool.

The photographed product uses a B Station thick turret structure. The B Station provides sufficient space for many compact logo and symbol profiles, but the final design must remain within the station’s dimensional and forming-force capacity.

If the requested mark is too large or contains excessive detail, a larger station, simplified artwork, engraving tool, dot-matrix marking system or alternative marking process may be more suitable.

WYS Machinery can customize the graphic profile, overall mark size, line width, embossing depth, raised or recessed direction, visible side and tooling structure according to the customer’s requirements.

In addition to thick turret tooling, WYS Machinery can manufacture compatible custom logo, symbol and identification marking tools for TRUMPF Type and Murata Wiedemann Type punching systems.

These products are compatible replacement tools manufactured by WYS Machinery. References to TRUMPF and Murata Wiedemann describe the applicable tooling systems and do not imply original manufacture, authorization or official affiliation.

Technical Specifications

How the Custom Logo Embossing Tool Works

A typical embossing cycle includes:

• The sheet is positioned at the programmed coordinate
• The upper working profile approaches the sheet
• The lower die supports the corresponding area
• The sheet is pressed between the matched male and female profiles
• Material flows locally into the customized graphic geometry
• The logo or symbol reaches the controlled embossing depth
• The upper tool retracts
• The permanently formed mark remains in the sheet

The final quality depends on:

• Artwork design
• Mark dimensions
• Line width
• Detail spacing
• Embossing depth
• Sheet material
• Sheet thickness
• Material hardness and ductility
• Male and female profile matching
• Forming clearance
• Tool alignment
• Machine stroke control
• Surface-finish requirements

A production-equivalent sample sheet should be used during the initial trial.

Logo, Symbol and Identification Mark Options

The tool can be designed for more than a commercial logo.

Available custom profiles can include:

• Company initials
• Brand emblems
• Product-family symbols
• Up and down arrows
• Left and right marks
• Front and rear orientation marks
• Grounding symbols
• Electrical identification symbols
• Inspection approval marks
• Assembly-position symbols
• Part-version indicators
• Simple numbers or letters
• Quality-control graphics
• Customer-specified geometric marks

For variable serial numbers, changing dates, long text strings or frequently changing information, a fixed embossing tool may not be the most efficient solution. Interchangeable character tooling, dot-matrix marking, engraving or laser marking may be more suitable.

Raised and Recessed Embossing

The custom mark can be designed as:

• A raised logo on the selected visible surface
• A recessed logo on the selected visible surface
• A raised symbol on the reverse side
• A recessed identification mark on the reverse side

The customer should clearly specify:

• Visible side of the finished component
• Required raised or recessed effect
• Marking from the top or bottom
• Sheet-feeding orientation
• Finished-part installation direction
• Whether the opposite-side impression is acceptable

Changing between raised and recessed marking normally requires reversing or redesigning the male and female profile arrangement.

Embossing Depth

The embossing depth should create a clear and durable mark without unnecessarily distorting or damaging the sheet.

Depth selection depends on:

• Sheet thickness
• Material grade
• Material hardness
• Material elongation
• Logo size
• Line width
• Graphic complexity
• Surface coating
• Visible-side requirements
• Opposite-side appearance
• Required mark durability

An embossing depth that is too shallow may produce an unclear mark.

Excessive depth may cause:

• Material cracking
• Local sheet thinning
• Distortion around the mark
• Excessive opposite-side projection
• Loss of fine graphic detail
• Surface damage
• Difficulty releasing the workpiece
• Excessive forming force

The appropriate depth should be established through design evaluation and trial embossing.

Artwork and Graphic Design Requirements

For accurate tooling manufacture, customers should preferably provide:

• DXF
• DWG
• AI
• EPS
• PDF vector artwork
• STEP or other suitable CAD formats
• A fully dimensioned drawing

Raster images such as JPG or PNG may be used as visual references, but they may not contain sufficient geometric information for precision manufacturing.

The artwork should define:

• Overall width
• Overall height
• Required orientation
• Line thickness
• Minimum gaps
• Internal and external contours
• Raised or recessed areas
• Visible side
• Marking depth
• Position on the finished component

WYS Machinery can review customer artwork and recommend simplification where necessary.

Minimum Line Width and Detail Limitations

Very fine lines, sharp corners and narrow spaces may not reproduce clearly in sheet metal.

The minimum practical detail depends on:

• Sheet thickness
• Material type
• Material hardness
• Embossing depth
• Tool material
• Heat treatment
• Mark size
• Required service life
• Machine accuracy
• B Station capacity

Sharp internal corners may require small radii to improve tooling strength and material flow.

If the original logo contains very small text, thin decorative lines or complex gradients, a simplified manufacturing version may be recommended.

Fixed Embossing Tool Versus Engraving Tool

A fixed logo embossing tool and a programmable engraving tool serve different purposes.

The fixed embossing tool is generally more suitable for repeated production of the same logo or symbol.

Fixed Logo Tool Versus Character Marking Tool

A custom logo embossing tool produces one complete fixed design.

Character marking tools are more suitable when the customer needs:

• Changing numbers
• Changing dates
• Variable part codes
• Batch numbers
• Different text combinations
• Sequential identification

If the marking content remains unchanged, the fixed custom profile can provide efficient, consistent production.

Typical Applications

The B Station Thick Turret Custom Logo Embossing Tool is suitable for:

• Electrical cabinets
• Control panels
• Switchgear enclosures
• Electronic equipment housings
• Communication cabinets
• Server enclosures
• Appliance panels
• Elevator sheet metal components
• Machinery covers
• Automotive sheet metal parts
• Metal furniture
• Stainless steel equipment
• Industrial nameplate components
• General precision sheet metal fabrication

Typical marking purposes include:

• Permanent brand identification
• Product-series identification
• Assembly orientation
• Electrical-symbol marking
• Quality-control identification
• Part-version differentiation
• Safety or warning symbols
• Manufacturer identification
• Decorative graphic marking
• Traceability support using fixed symbols

Benefits for Batch Production

Producing the mark directly on a CNC punch press can provide:

• Permanent identification
• Repeatable graphic position
• Consistent mark depth
• No adhesive label
• No ink consumption
• No conventional punching chips
• Reduced secondary stamping
• Reduced workpiece transfer
• Integration with punching and forming programs
• High efficiency for repeated identical logos
• Improved resistance to label loss
• Reduced risk of printed marks fading
• Consistent branding across production batches

The exact mark appearance still depends on the material, coating and forming conditions.

Surface Coatings and Decorative Sheets

Extra care is required when embossing:

• Pre-painted sheet
• Galvanized sheet
• Brushed stainless steel
• Polished stainless steel
• Anodized aluminum
• Coated aluminum
• Decorative sheet
• Protective-film-covered material

Embossing may stretch, compress or damage surface coatings around the logo.

Before production, customers should confirm:

• Whether the protective film remains on the sheet
• Whether minor coating deformation is acceptable
• Whether the opposite-side impression is acceptable
• Required visible-surface quality
• Whether a sample trial is required

B Station Thick Turret Compatibility

The photographed tool uses a B Station thick turret structure.

Compatibility should be confirmed using:

• Punch press manufacturer
• Exact machine model
• Thick turret tooling series
• B Station dimensions
• Fixed or indexing station
• Tool-height system
• Guide and retaining structure
• Lower-die dimensions
• Existing tooling sample or drawing

The B Station designation alone does not guarantee compatibility with every machine.

Product Identification and Frequently Asked Questions

What is the correct English name for Logo模具?

For the pictured matched-profile tool, the recommended name is Custom Logo Embossing Tool.

Can the tool produce marks other than a company logo?

Yes. It can produce symbols, arrows, orientation marks, identification graphics, inspection marks and other fixed profiles.

Does the tool cut through the sheet?

No. It normally forms the mark by displacing the material without producing a through-hole.

Does it produce a slug?

No conventional punching slug is produced.

Can it produce both raised and recessed logos?

Yes. The tool can be designed according to the required visible-side effect.

Is this the same as an engraving tool?

No. A fixed embossing tool produces one matched-profile logo or symbol in a stroke. An engraving tool normally follows a programmed path and is more flexible for changing graphics or text.

Can variable serial numbers be produced?

A fixed logo tool is not ideal for frequently changing serial numbers. Character tooling, dot-matrix, engraving or laser marking may be more suitable.

Can the logo size be customized?

Yes, provided the design remains within the station, material and forming-force limits.

Can a highly detailed logo be reproduced exactly?

It depends on the mark size, line width, sheet thickness and material. Very fine details may need to be simplified.

What artwork format should be provided?

DXF, DWG, AI, EPS, vector PDF or a dimensioned CAD drawing is preferred.

Can the tool mark coated or painted sheet?

It may be possible, but trial embossing is recommended because forming can stretch or damage the coating.
