Shachihata 6-Digit TAT Ink Rotating Stamp CF-63GT / CF-64GT / CF-65GT
The Shachihata 6-digit rotating stamp designed for TAT ink is an optimal marking solution for batch tracking, lot coding, production dates, and component management across manufacturing plants, workshops, and industrial logistics facilities. Specially built to handle Shachihata TAT industrial specialty inks, this unit maintains high reliability and performance across challenging non-porous surfaces.
Key Technical Highlights of the Shachihata TAT Rotating Stamp Series
Solvent-Resistant Rubber Formulation
The defining characteristic of the "GT" model suffix is its specially engineered rubber bands formulated to withstand chemical solvents and rapid-evaporating agents. When used frequently with TAT industrial stamping ink—a fast-drying solvent-based ink used on metal, glass, plastics, film, and rubber—the rubber bands retain their structural elasticity without swelling, hardening, or degrading over time.
Smooth 6-Band Mechanical Adjustment
Equipped with 6 independent number bands spanning digits 0 through 9, operators can quickly set each individual numerical position by rotating the adjustment wheels. The mechanical gearing holds each band securely in place, helping prevent line misalignment during continuous stamping on production lines.
Standardized Gothic Font for Clear Imprints
The character faces are formed using standard industrial Gothic typography featuring clean, uniform lines. This typography promotes even ink distribution and produces crisp impressions without ink accumulation or edge blurring, facilitating effortless visual verification and optical scanning.
Durable Metal Frame with an Ergonomic Grip
A heavy-duty metal housing absorbs stamping impact forces, shielding the interior rotation shaft and rubber bands. The ergonomic plastic handle promotes straight-down, balanced pressure distribution, helping reduce hand fatigue during high-volume marking tasks.

Practical Industrial and Enterprise Applications
Electronics and Mechanical Component Fabrication: Apply part identification codes, QC pass numbers, and serial stamps directly onto plastic housings, circuit assemblies, or metal components.
Packaging, Food, and Pharmaceutical Production: Stamp production batch codes (Lot No.), manufacturing dates, and expiration intervals onto aluminum foils, poly bags, glass containers, or metal cans.
Warehouse and Asset Tracking: Apply inventory numbers, rack location identifiers, and classification tags across composite industrial surfaces.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Does the Shachihata CF-63GT / CF-64GT / CF-65GT include built-in ink?
No. This is a non-inked mechanical rubber stamp that requires a separate stamp pad. For industrial non-porous surfaces, pairing it with an appropriate Shachihata TAT ink pad and TAT specialty ink is recommended.
2. What is the difference between standard rotating stamps and TAT-compatible stamps?
Standard rotating stamps use regular rubber compounds suitable only for water-based or mild oil-based inks on paper. In contrast, TAT-compatible stamps (GT series) utilize solvent-resistant rubber specifically designed to withstand the fast-drying solvents present in TAT inks without deteriorating.
3. How do I choose between models CF-63GT, CF-64GT, and CF-65GT?
CF-65GT: The most compact model of the three, suited for narrow marking spaces such as component borders or small inspection tags.
CF-64GT: A balanced mid-size model suitable for typical technical documentation, medium shipping cartons, or product packaging.
CF-63GT: Offers the largest character footprint among the three, suitable for marking batch numbers on bulk shipments, pallets, or machinery.
4. How should the rubber bands be cleaned after using fast-drying TAT ink?
Apply a few drops of dedicated TAT ink solvent onto clean paper or an absorbent lint-free cloth and stamp onto it repeatedly to dissolve dry ink buildup, keeping the characters clear and extending band longevity.
