Columbia Marking
Tools Introduces Line of Peen Marking Machines
Columbia Marking Tools, Inc. with
MarKing Integrity, Inc. is marketing and servicing the CNC programmable
EasyMarker(tm) line of high-speed innovative peen marking machines. Tom Phipps,
Columbia Marking Tools general manager says, "This new peen marking capability
expands the range of Columbia's permanent marking technology products. As a
leading designer and builder of marking machines and systems, as well as a
provider of all types of stamps and marking tools, we are confident that
Columbia's machine builder experience can enhance the application of the
EasyMarker pin stamping technology in industries and markets where the
technology best fits. And when the best marking method is something other than
pin stamping, we provide those technologies as well."
The EasyMarker has a fast 400 Hz
marking speed and has the flexibility to inscribe many different materials
including ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics and wood. This marking system
can perform linear, angular and circular imprinting with standard software. It
can mark both concave and convex surfaces without the need for additional
tooling.
Its CNC-controlled vibro peen marking
action ensures precise inscriptions. Data entered by the keyboard can be viewed
and edited on the LCD display before any marking is performed. Text can be fixed
or variable, numbering can be sequential, date coding can be set up to be
automatic and character size can vary in 0.1mm steps. For increased flexibility,
the penetration depth is easily adjustable through a pressure regulator. A
low-cost, built-in, I/O interface option has 16 I/O points allowing easy program
call-up and mark initiation from remote inputs.
The EasyMarker is a complete package
including a keyboard and controller, with user-friendly prompts for quick
navigation thru programming. The standard unit interfaces with existing
Windows(r) 95, 98 or NT systems, using the included Signumeric software. This
allows the user to create intricate logos, special graphics, and 2-D codes with
enhanced functionality.
The standard EasyMarker unit with CNC
control is available from stock. Columbia Marking Tools provides a 2-year
warranty with each standard unit package.
Columbia Marking Tools is a leading
designer and manufacturer of metal and plastic marking equipment including
stamps, roll marking dies, roll marking and impact marking machines, numbering
heads and special marking machines.
