Option: 3 axes
Option: 4 axes
Marking speed
Likewise as special design, marking heads with 3 axes are available (2 linear
axes and one external rotation axis or 3 linear axes).
Flat and round workpieces can be processed with marking heads with rotation
axis. Generally, only 2 axes are active during a marking. Before the marking
you must specify if the second linear axis or the rotation axis is the Y-axis.
With marking heads with 3 linear axes, the height adjustment of the marking
head to the workpiece is done electrically via the Z-axis (third axis).
Optionally, additionally, 4 axes can be used. Either through the use of 2
marking heads or through one marking head with Z-axis and rotation axis.
With the use of 2 marking heads, you have to select the active marking head
before a marking. This is done via the software or optionally via a PLC (see
chapter 6). Both marking heads can also be used simultaneously and can mark
different text fields at the same time.
With marking heads with Z-axis and rotation axis, the height adjustment of the
marking head to the workpiece is done electrically. Everything else is equivalent
to the marking with 3 axes (see above).
The marking speed of 1 - 100 mm/s is entered via the software. The marking
speed has a substantial influence on the quality of the marking result: the lower
the marking speed, the more evenly the marking.
During high marking speed the quality of the marking result does not only
diminish, but also step error arises by the mass inertia of the marking head. The
maximum marking speed depends therefore on the assigned marking head and
its maintenance. Bad maintenance decreases the maximum marking speed (for
maintenance see chapter 5).
Marking speeds over 80 mm/s produce nearly always insufficient marking
results. Marking speeds that are inherently dangerous to the marking head or
other parts of the marking systems will generate an error.
