Misumi Introduces a New Engraving Service for Round Machined Parts

Misumi Group has announced an exciting new addition to its AI platform 'meviy' that will revolutionize the way manufacturers manage their parts. Starting November 17, 2025, 'meviy' will offer an engraving service specifically for round machined components, also known as 'cutting round parts'. This service will allow users to easily engrave identification information such as part numbers and internal management numbers directly onto the components via the meviys user interface. The engraving service will support cylindrical surfaces as well as flat surfaces, and for the first time, it will include the ability to use the diameter symbol 'ø'. This innovation promises to streamline parts management and improve the efficiency of verification processes during part assembly.

Background

As manufacturing continues to advance, the need for effective component identification is becoming more critical. With the increasing variety of parts used in equipment and machinery, distinguishing similar components and exchanging information between designers and field personnel can take significant time. During assembly and maintenance, identifying specific components can be particularly challenging, leading to inefficiencies.

To address these challenges, there is a growing demand in the manufacturing sector to engrave identifiers such as part numbers directly onto components. Not only does engraving enhance identification, but it also helps prevent misuse and allows for tracking of production history, strengthening quality assurance. Until now, 'meviy' has provided engraving services for cutting (angular) processing and sheet metal processing. Due to numerous requests from clients for similar services for round machined parts, the company developed a new system that enables engraving on cylindrical surfaces, successfully launching this service.

By allowing part numbers and internal management numbers to be engraved, the new service reduces the effort needed to manage components during assembly and minimizes identification errors. In the past, repeat orders required verification of part numbers from drawings, which could be time-consuming. With engraved part numbers, customers can quickly confirm them directly on the components, eliminating the need to search for drawings and enabling faster reordering.

Misumi Group is committed to continually enhancing its services by incorporating feedback from design and manufacturing environments, ensuring even greater convenience for its clients.
