HEALTH & SAFETY
Marktr nic Marker
This covers essential health and safety of the Marktronic Marking machine. It is
intended to supplement and support the training given by the suppliers of the
equipment and the operation manuals.
Weight f Machine and Ancillary Equipment
BenchDot300-150ZA Marking Unit
54Kg
inc. Base and Column
BenchDot150-150ZA Marking Unit 44Kg
inc. Base and Column
BenchDot100-100ZA Marking Unit 40Kg
inc. Base and Column
MarkMate Marking Unit 13Kg
Inc. Base and Column
Marking Controller 7Kg
Circumferential Fixture 10Kg
Magnetic Chuck 10Kg
The weights quoted are approximate.
Handling
Care must be taken when moving or handling not to drop the equipment, causing
damage to operators or other persons handling the machinery. It is advisable when
lifting the machine to have two people to lift, using the base and column, it must not
be lifted by the cover.
N ise Emissi ns
Depending on the nature of the workpiece and any support required noise emitted
by the machine when marking may exceed 70dB(A)Leq. Where it is established
that noise emissions may exceed current regulations, noise control methods (eg. ear
defenders/machinery guards) should be utilised.
Electrical Hazards
To prevent electrical shock do not remove the cover of the controller or marking
head. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified
service personnel. Only connect the controller to the correct supply voltage. This is
clearly marked on the rear of the controller.

P ssible Hazards whilst Operating
The motors are low force and inertia; they therefore present a low risk when used in
accordance with manufacturer’s instructions. Care should be taken in the vicinity of
the marking head whilst setting, operating or maintaining the machine. It is important
when operating the machine that any object other than the work piece to be marked
is kept away from the marking area.
Eye protection should be worn when operating the machine.
We would also remind UK employers of the general risk assessment requirement in
the Management of ealth and Safety at Work Regulations and in addition the
requirement to ensure that work equipment is used only for the operation for which it
is suitable in accordance with the Provision and Use of Work Equipment
Regulations.
Users outside of the UK are reminded to ensure they are compliant with local
legislation and to ensure adequate control measure are in place to reduce risk to an
acceptable level.
Installing and C mmissi ning
It is essential to read the user manual(s) prior to use.
Disp sal and Dec mmissi ning
The LCD contains a hazardous liquid. It should be disposed of in accordance with
current regulations.
The controller contains a lithium battery. It should be disposed of in accordance with
current regulations.
Stability f the machine
Two bolt holes are provided in the base of the machine to fasten it down.
Emergency St p
An emergency stop is supplied with the controller. This should not be confused with
the remote start/stop pendant. When pressed all mechanical movement is
immediately stopped and power is disconnected from the drive circuits. Any
information which has not been saved will be lost. Once activated the emergency
stop button can be released by twisting it. Releasing the emergency stop will not
reactivate the machine until appropriate commands are executed from the keyboard.

2. SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The system consists of a controller with integrated keyboard, remote start/stop box
(optional) and marking head.
The C ntr ller and S ftware
The controller software lets you select the option you want by highlighting it using the
cursor keys and pressing the Enter key or by pressing the appropriate function key.
You can create marks (layouts) in either straight lines or arcs. Each layout may
contain up to 40 lines of characters, with up to 150 characters in each line. Each
line has its own character size and marking force. You may specify the horizontal
and vertical position (straight lines) or the radius and start angle (arc marking) of
each line.
Once a layout has been created it may be checked to see that it will fit in the
available marking area. If it will fit you may then do a trial run to make sure the
mark will be in the correct position, or go ahead and actually mark the layout.
Various options are available to mark layouts at any angle, change the style of mark,
change from straight to arc mode etc.
The marking head
The marking head consists of 2 main parts, the base and column (for column
mounted systems) and the X-Y marking head. The gap between the marking unit
and the base can easily be varied to accommodate various workpieces, fixtures etc.
D t marking (E & DP M dels)
The dot mark unit marks characters using either a 5x7 or 7x9 matrix of dots. The
depth of mark may be varied for each line in a layout. The stylus should be
replaced or reground if it becomes worn or chipped.
The minimum size of the 5x7 and 7x9 varies from machine to machine. See the
table below for actual sizes on each machine.

Marktronic User Guide 2-3
Varid t marking
In this mode you are allowed to choose the size of the character and the gap
between the dots used to form the character. The minimum character size and
increment steps are the same as the 5x7 characters.
This is useful if you want to mark large characters. Varidot marking does not give
good results when marking smaller size characters (below 2.5mm), the dot spacing
tends to look rather erratic.
Scribe Marking (SP & SDPH M dels)
Scribe machines produce a mark by pneumatically pressing a stylus into the
workpiece to scribe each character or shape. There are 2 different types of scribe
attachment designed to achieve different types of mark. The fine diamond tip unit is
designed for shallow fine marks down to 1mm in height.
Diamond Tip Mark
The other attachment features a solid carbide tip with a wider tip angle and tip
radius. This unit is designed to mark deeper and wider marks for larger characters
above 4mm in height. A typical application for the carbide tip unit is automotive VIN
marking as shown below.
Carbide Tip Mark
The diamond tip and the carbide tip assemblies may be fitted to the following Bench
and Integrator Machines.
BenchScribe 60-60SP, 100-100SP, 150-150SP, 300 – 150SP.
InScribe 60-60SP, 150-150SP
owever for a higher power solution to allow faster and deeper scribing with the
carbide tip only the following machine should be used. This machine is particularly
well suited to automotive VIN marking applications.
