1 For your safety
The UMC box coining unit has been developed as the newest, state-of-the-art
marking system concerning safety and reliability.
We confirm that the UMC box marking system meets the fundamental safety
and health requirements of the EEC machine guideline 98/37/EG. We provide
the "EEC conformity explanation", and the CE-indication on the marking
system.
The type plate is together with the CE-indication on the back of the UMC box.
We, as manufacturers of the marking system, want to make you, as operators,
completely familiar with the UMC box marking system. An extensive chapter
has been devoted to all the safety concepts of the marking system, and refers
to possible dangers and measures to take.
Note
Consideration must be taken into account that generally accepted safety rules,
and rules for the prevention of accidents goes beyond these references.

3 Operational safety
The marking system is built according to the latest state-of-the-art technology,
and reliability in service.
From this marking system, however, dangers can proceed if it is used by un-
trained personnel inappropriately, or to not intended use. This can result in:
•Dangers for the safety of the operator.
•Impairment of the marking system and further real values of the user.
•Impairment of the efficient work of the marking system.
3.1 Intended use of the marking system
The UMC box coining unit is a marking system for marking products through
coining.
Intended use means in addition:
•The setting up conditions prescribed by the manufacturer must be kept and
maintenance work must be accomplished.
•The installation of the marking system and its operation must stand in
conformity with the valid national regulations of the user country. For their
observance the user is responsible.
Impermissible is:
•Arbitrary changing or changes of the marking system by the user or opera-
tor.
•Each function, which could impair safety.
We assume no liability from not intended use!
Each use going beyond that is not considered as intended. For material
damage and personal injuries resulting from this, the manufacturer is not
responsible; the risk for this carries alone to the user.

1-4 Safety ÖSTLING Markiersysteme GmbH
3.2 Measures taken by the user/operator
Consider warning plates and references
Within operation and handling of the marking system, dangers can arise if not
handled with proper care. In this manual, operating instructions are given,
including appropriate warning references in the front. In addition, warning plates
can be found on the marking system.
Note
Mind the warning references!
Mind the commands and interdictions of the warning references. They serve for
your protection.
These warning references include:
•A symbol.
•References to the source and the kind of the danger.
•Instructions, how you can avoid the danger.
Example:
Heavy soiling impairs the marking system!
Marking system does not work efficiently any more.
With heavily soiled ambient air use bellows (option) as cover.
Maintain marking system regularly.
Personnel instruction
The marking system may be served, waited and repaired only by authorized,
trained and instructed personnel.
Work on the electrical and pneumatic equipment may be implemented only by
specially trained specialists.
In addition, the following measures must be taken before the personnel begins
the work of using the marking system:
•Instructs over arising dangers.
•The user must obligate, to the extent necessary, the personnel for carrying
protective clothing and gloves.
•Competencies for operation, maintenance and repair must be clearly
specified, so that under the aspect of safety no unclear authority arises.
•Read the technical documentation of the marking system. It is recommen-
ded to the user to be confirmed in writing in each case that the personnel
has read and understood the technical documentation.

B_PM_UMCbox_en01.doc
ÖSTLING Markiersysteme GmbH Safety

Duty to care in handling the marking system
Guarantee perfect condition of the installation:
•The user and/or the circle of acquaintances assigned by him may operate
the marking system exclusively in the perfect condition.
•The user must ensure cleanliness and clarity of the work place at the mar-
king system by appropriate instructions and controls.
•The user must provide for sufficient circulation of fresh air in the work
spaces.
•The operator must announce occurring changes (including the operational
behaviour) of the marking system which impair safety, immediately to the
user. In addition, the marking system must be examined at least once per
shift for outwardly recognizable lack and damage.
With all work that concern transport, installation, start-up, operation, main-
tenance and repair, the prescribed switching-off procedures must be kept:
•With any adjustments, maintenance or repairs, the marking system must
always be switched off over the MAIN SWITCH. Exceptions to it, with which
the marking system must remain switched on with appropriate work, are
noted in the manual in each case.
•With work on pneumatics:
- Turn off and lock the compressed air supply.
- Wait at least 5 s after turning off the compressed air supply, until the
pressure diminishes itself.
- Examine whether the operating pressure dropped on 0 bar. Read off
the current operating pressure from the appropriate manometer.
Use of intended spare parts and operational funds
Original parts and accessories are particularly designed and manufactured for
the marking system. Spare parts to use as original parts and accessories, which
are not supplied by the manufacturer of the marking system, are not examined
and approved by the manufacturer. The installation and/or the use of such
products can possibly change the constructionally given characteristics of the
marking system and endanger safety.
Note
For damage which results from the use of non-original parts and accessories
and/or inadequate installation or exchange of original parts and accessories, the
manufacturer assumes absolutely no liability or responsibility.

B_PM_UMCbox_en01.doc
1-6 Safety ÖSTLING Markiersysteme GmbH
When using the intended operational funds the instructions for use must be
kept. As far as a safety data sheet (European guideline 91/155/EWG) of the
manufacturer for operational funds is prescribed, the references made there
must be considered obligatorily, like e. g.:
•Chemical characterization.
•Physical and safety-relevant data.
•Transport.
•Regulations.
•Safety measures, Storage and Handling.
•Measures to be taken in case of fire and accidents.
•Toxicological information.
•Ecological information.
This applies in particular to the adequate disposal of operational funds. For this
the safety data sheet indicates the prescribed kind of disposal and the waste
key. The safety data sheet can be requested with the manufacturer of the
operational funds.
3.3 Measures of the manufacturer
All marking systems are series equipped, complete with all necessary safety
devices. During operation, all safety rules and rules for the prevention of acci-
dents must be kept.
Movable, sharp-edged parts!
Risk of injury.
Do not reach into the marking head during the marking.
Do not reach into the traversing range of the marking tool during the mar-
king.
When coining, the carbide point of the marking tool is brought to oscillating by
compressed air. Then the carbide point is moved. The stroke of the marking
tools is approx. 1 - 5 mm. Therefore reaching into the danger area is only
possible with difficulty. Due to the low force, with which the carbide point
oscillates, heavy injuries of the operator are to be excluded.

Horizontal (on the left) and vertical installation of the marking head Fig. 10262
All marking heads are supplied ready for use. The following points must be con-
sidered when installing the marking head into a production line:
•Built-in units must be installed adjustable to allow subsequent aligning
and/or exact adjusting of the distance tool tip - workpiece.
•Use a bellows (option) as cover if the unit is operated in a heavily soiled
working environment. This cover can be used only with horizontal instal-
lation of the unit.

With vertical/lateral installation of the marking head (front of the marking head
shows upward), the following points must be additionally considered:
•Marking tool can move down by itself, since the driving motors are dead
after switching off the marking equipment and possess no automatic
locking.
•Bellows (option) cannot be used.
•The y
•Y-axis is the axis with the shorter traverse path. The marking head may be
inserted only with perpendicular Y-axis (see Fig. 10262, page 2-4).
2 Measures to prevent electronic interference
The following general references secure a trouble-free operation of an electrical
system:
•Take the main power supply directly from the switch cabinet feed.
•Signal cables must not be laid together with cables carrying power.
•Signal cables may not be laid with cables from units that would cause inter-
ference (e. g. contactors, power motors). Otherwise use shielded mains
cable and ground the shielding at one end. The same applies for the auxi-
liary power supply for controllers and isolating amplifiers.
•Sources of severe interference such as contactors and motors should be
suppressed with RC components. Within the switch units only use
switching equipment and other devices that have been suppressed by RC
combinations, for example. It is necessary to note the standard codes of
practice for electrical work (VDE, DIN and the corresponding EN).
•The reference value output must be shielded. The shielding must be groun-
ded at one end.
•Controllers and switchover relays for the manual setting of reference values
should be placed as close as possible to the program encoder. If it is not
possible to do this, an isolating amplifier is to be installed in the reference
value output immediately behind the program encoder.

2-6 Set-up ÖSTLING Markiersysteme GmbH
2.1 Complying with interference suppression as per CE
The marking system UMC box, coining unit, is designed and build according to
the regulations of the electromagnetic compatibility guideline. To ensure
interference suppression the following points must be considered:
•Use shielded control cables to connect all external components (e. g.
marking head, foot switch, signal inputs and outputs) to the connection BU2
(DB37) at the control. At the back of the control the shielding of all the
cables must be connected at the controller end to the grounding screw (11,
Fig. 10388, page 2-2) via a cable that must be kept as short as possible.
•The grounding screw of the control UMC box must be connected to the
system ground (at the power supply feed) via a separate grounding cable.
When integrating the control into a more sophisticated production line the
grounding screw must be connected with the central ground supply point of
the line via a separate grounding cable. The cross-section of the cable
should be at least 2.5 mm
2
.
•Length connection cable control - marking head max. 2 m.
•Cable foot switch two-core with shielding, a two-pole jack plug made of
plastic must be used.
•Length cable foot switch max. 3 m.
•Lay the connection cable control - marking head and the cable foot switch
separately from any possible sources of interference (see also paragraph
2).
•The following should be noted when connecting external components to the
control UMC box:
- The components used (e. g. monitor, printer) must likewise comply
with the CE standards for industrial use.
- Length connection cable control - external component max. 2 m. Shiel-
ded cables and plugs with metal housings must be used.
- If connections to or from the serial port (RS232) cause functional
errors, change over from this type of connection to one that is not
subject to interference (e. g. RS485, fiber optic connection, galvanic
separation through an opto-electronic coupler).
