Marking Characteristics
The TMP1700 can produce characters as small as .030" (.76mm),
printed at any angle within the marking window. Printing
resolutions range from 10 dots per inch to 200 dots per inch for an
engraved look. The depth of mark can be adjusted over a
significant range by adjusting the pin stroke and, to a lesser extent,
by adjusting the drive air pressure.
Marking Speeds
Generally, the system will mark four characters per second (using
5x7 font, .125" [3 mm] high characters). Speeds will vary slightly
depending on the selected character size, style, and dot density.
Specific times can be verified by a Telesis
representative.
Pin Life
Pin life depends largely on the type of material being marked, how
hard or abrasive it is, and the required marking depth. On typical
metals with a hardness of Rockwell Rb47, marking at a depth of
.005" (.127 mm), powdered steel pins average about 3 million
impressions before needing sharpened; carbide pins average
approximately 9 million impressions. If carbide pins are used,
marking times will increase by approximately 25% due to the
increased weight of the pins.
Marking Noise
When marking cold-rolled steel strips at 50% duty cycle, the noise
level of the TMP1700 Marking System has been measured at 74.6
dB, using the "time weighted average" approach (average sound
exposure over an 8 hour period). It is expected that as the duty
cycle rises, the time weighted average will rise also. Typical
applications average around 20%-30% duty cycle where the sound
pressure level would not exceed 70 dB (A).
Noise-level Tests have been carried out under controlled
conditions imitating as closely as possible predicted normal
operation. Conditions such as rigidity of the work piece, material,
setting of the machine, ambient noise, etc. may vary when in
operational use and would alter the actual noise level.
Despite detailed guidance notes provided with each machine,
these conditions would be out of the control of Telesis and must
remain the responsibility of the end user to conduct their own tests
to establish safe working levels of use.
