48E020 - Surfox Electrochemical Marking Wand

Precision Electrochemical Marking for Stainless Steel

The Walter Surfox Marking Wand (48-E-020) is a precision-engineered accessory designed to expand the capabilities of Surfox electrochemical weld cleaning systems. This device transforms a standard Surfox unit into a powerful marking station, allowing operators to permanently etch stainless steel surfaces with ease. Utilizing an electrochemical process, the wand works in conjunction with the Surfox M marking electrolyte to create high-contrast, durable black markings that are resistant to mechanical wear, chemicals, and corrosion. This method is superior to adhesive labels or ink, which can fade or peel, and is less invasive than mechanical engraving, which can create stress risers or compromise the passive layer of the steel.

Designed for industrial applications, the marking wand features a robust construction suitable for shop environments. It connects directly to the accessory port of compatible Surfox machines (such as the Surfox 205, 305, or Mini), drawing power to facilitate the oxidation process required for marking. The wand is typically used with marking stencils, allowing for the precise application of company logos, part numbers, QR codes, and technical specifications directly onto the workpiece. This capability is particularly critical in industries such as food and beverage processing, pharmaceuticals, and aerospace, where traceability and identification are mandatory. The 48-E-020 wand ensures that these markings are applied cleanly and consistently, maintaining the professional appearance and sanitary qualities of the stainless steel finish.
