Permanent Steel Marking
Clear, Repeatable Impressions
The DX 462-HM is designed to create permanent impressions on compatible steel surfaces.
This makes it useful where durable identification is needed for fabrication tracking, layout, part marking, quality control, or material traceability.
Industrial Identification
The tool is intended for marking structural steel, beams, plates, and fabrication components in professional industrial settings.
Permanent marking can help support organized identification throughout fabrication and construction workflows.
X-40/HM Marking Head
The supplied X-40/HM Marking Head is the application-specific component used with the DX 462-HM for steel marking work.
Inspect the marking head before use and follow Hilti instructions for installation, setup, maintenance, and compatible marking elements.
X-AP15H Piston
The package includes one X-AP15H Piston as part of the configured powder-actuated marking system.
Routine piston inspection and proper maintenance are important for reliable operation and consistent marking performance.
No Electricity or Compressed Air Required
No External Electrical Power
The DX 462-HM operates without requiring a corded electrical power source.
This can improve mobility in fabrication yards, structural steel facilities, and other work areas where fixed power may be inconvenient.
No Air Supply
The powder-actuated system also does not require a compressor or external air line.
This helps simplify setup compared with pneumatic marking equipment.
Cleaning & Maintenance
The DX 462-HM package includes an X-5-460 Cleaning Kit and DX A40 HM Spare Parts Pack to support routine tool care and service.
Regular cleaning and inspection help support consistent marking performance in demanding industrial applications.
