2.3 GENERAL SECURITY INFORMATION
The staff must be trained on the correct use of the unit MBVP . They must know the position and the technical
characteristic of the system. They must have read the manual before operating. Maintenance must be made only
by operators that have been qualified by Automator International srl.
The tampering or the unauthorized substitution of one or more components, the adoption of accessories that
change the handling and the use of non-original parts, parts that are other than those recommended, may
become the cause of risks or accidents.
Unauthorized replacements of parts, manumissions, use of non-original components or
accessories may become the cause of injuries or damages
AUTOMATOR INTERNATIONAL SRL has no disclaims any responsibility for the safety of the machine in case of
violations of the ban.
In particular for the security, takes into account the following considerations:
•The head has been designed so that the marking head works at a minimum distance from the surface
to be marked. If the operator has to use the full stroke of the mechanism for his particular application,
you need a security guard to prevent operator access to the marking area. The dimensions/kind of
security devices must be studied on the particular application of marking by the custom.
•The noise, during simulation or dry marking , does not exceed the limits imposed by law.
•During the marking of some parts, it requires the use of ear/hand protection. This always depends on
the surface and / or the material to be marked
•The head should be visible; the operator must be able to adjust the VP support. The head must not be
subject to vibration or movement during the marking.
•The part to be marked must be fixed to suitable support.
You need to create a workspace big enough to avoid the risk of falling the pieces to be
marked
Do not touch the marking head in an inappropriate manner
The bench support of the machine must be robust enough to avoid accidents. You should
also be careful that pieces do not fall or slip from the bench, using supports appropriate to
their shape, weight and material

nut, which closes the collet (Ref. 22) e the ram anvil
(Ref.19). Once positioned the type-holder, tighten up
firmly the collet nut (Ref.23) to keep the marking
head in the desired alignment. The distance
between the shank and the collet nut must be about
1 o 2 mm.
Do not use hammers or other similar objects to
insert or secure the type-holder; in this case,
damages to the ram anvil or to the nut may occur
Note : Use only original shanks to avoid damages to
the ram anvil (ref. 19) or collet nut (Ref. 23)
If You do not use original Automator shank, when
screwing the collet nut, you can break the collet
The shank should move easily through the collet,
but there should be no play. The sizes of the shanks
for the different unit models are as follows :
MB19VPN –8mm
MB21VP –10mm
MB35VP –16mm
.
3.3.3 RAM ANVIL ADJUSTMENT
Do not block the ram anvil (Ref. 19) exaggerating in the locking of the key retaining nut (measure 6)
The unit will not operate unless the ram anvil (Ref. 19) moves freely and smoothly. In the axial sense,
it is suggested a tolerance from 3 to 5/10.
Please note that the impact force comes from the centre of the tool holder (Ref.19) and type holders or
any tooling should not make contact with the collet nut (Ref.23) when in operation.
