Electric Hole Puncher

Hi, new to this forum. I have a project where we are verifying RFID tags moving past an RFID reader. If the tag is found to be defective, then we need to mark it as bad.

I was thinking a nice way to accomplish this would be a fast electric hole puncher, to punch a hole in the bad tag (it's a paper or PPE material). But I can't find such a device being manufcatured - all the hole punchers I find that might be suitable are hydraulic or pneumatic. Any suggestions?

Look at solenoid actuators. They're basically just electromagnetically driven linear actuators.

You can't mark it with pen or?

Awesome, I'm going to give this a try!
