SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The Telesis
®
NOMAD 2000 marking system
permanently prints messages into materials such as
steel, aluminum, and plastic. An electric solenoid
accelerates a hardened pin to indent dot matrix
characters into the item being marked. Character
shape, size, density, and location are determined by
the user through the marking system software.
Marking Head. The marking head is an
electromechanical marker. The internal, mechanical
components position the pin cartridge and an electric
solenoid fires the marking pin. A spring returns the pin
to its idle position within the cartridge. The marking
head moves the pin cartridge through X- and Y-axis
rectilinear motions to reach the correct position for
each dot of the characters to be marked. The system
software automatically controls pin extension to mark
the message.
The marker uses two stepper motor drives to rapidly
and accurately position the pin at coordinate-defined
locations in the marking window within 0.006 mm
(0.00024 inch). The marker accommodates the
rigorous dynamics of impacting, rebounding, and rapid
positioning of the marking pin through a linear rail/ball
bearing saddle assembly, ceramic-coated guide
shaft/linear bushing assemblies, and drive motors with
concentric, linear drive screws.
The lightweight and portable NOMAD 2000 is battery
operated and designed for remote operation. The
handheld marker incorporates a pistol-grip handle with
a Start Print push-button switch.
The integral standoff with its padded front surface is
held against the marking surface while marking. The
standoff can be adjusted forward and aft to change the
pin stroke.
Pin Cartridge. The pin cartridge is machined from
engineered plastic materials and offers long life with
little maintenance. Screws attach the pin cartridge to
the marking head for easy removal, cleaning, and pin
replacement.
Marking Pins. The 25XLE-series marking pins are
made of tungsten carbide and are available in 30° and
45° cone angles.
Marker Cable. The marker cable permanently
connects the marker to the controller. The cable is 2 m
(6.5 feet) long and is prewired to the marking head.
NOMAD 2000 (470HH) Controller. The controller
provides the electrical interface and software control of
the NOMAD 4000 marking head. Refer to NOMAD
Controller Specifications for details.
