Features - Automatic System
The InfoSight InfoDent® stamping system is the preferred heavy-duty stamping solution for dot-matrix stamped identification of steel mill products.
- System was developed specifically for use in the Steel Industry where reliable operation under severe mill conditions is required
- Stamping head extends/retracts on precision guide rods via air cylinder actuation
- The heavy-duty X-Y positioning mechanism for stamping enables precise dot placement and repeatability
- System is used for multi-pin stamping of ambient to hot products
- Hot product stamping is possible up to 2,000F (1,100C) when optional head cooling and proper radiant heat shielding is used
- Print permanent marks on rough or uneven surfaces - including torchcut surfaces
- User-programmable font sizes
- User-programmable font densities - 5x7, 7x9, 11x16 and more
- Can stamp user-downloaded or keyboard-entered marking data
- Print multiple lines of text in seconds - 6 seconds stamping time is typical for 2 lines of 1/2" (12mm) stamped text
- Full cycle times (extend/stamp/retract) of 9 to 12 seconds are possible depending on the quantity of stamping
- Different print cartridge configurations are offered according to the specific user application requirements
Specifications
| Stamping Head | Mill duty design with precision X-Y positioning of cartridge and impact pins (internal in the Stamping Head). Configurable with up to 21-Impact Pins |
| Impact Pins | Many sizes, cone angles, and materials available. Impact pins can be re-sharpened |
| Pin Cartridge Configurations | Broad range of standard and custom pin cartridge configurations available (single row of pins or multiple rows of pins) |
| Electronics | Power 120/220VAC, I/O Voltage 24VDC (customer to specify) |
| Automated Machine Control | Performed by the system PLC (Siemens, Rockwell Automation, Mitsubishi, Modicon, GE, as well as others). |
| Level of Automation | The System performs automatic marking a without Operator intervention, other than for minimal maintenance and periodic replacement if impact pin sets. |
| Operator Controls | HMI or pushbutton/selectors switches allow plant floor personnel hands-on control over the automated system. |
| Communication | Ethernet, Profibus, RS232C serial, InfoSight Extended Protocol, & USB |
| Air Pressure | 100 psi (7 bar) recommended. Reduced pressure results in reduced dot depth. Refer to Air Amplifier option below |
| Air Consumption | Stamping Head 1.0 SCFM at idle + 0.6SCFM per impact pin when marking. Typical 8-pin configuration ~6SCFM |
Additional Options
| Impact Pins | Choose from a variety of pin sizes and materials for your specific application (tool steel, powdered steel and carbide pins are available) |
| Air Amplifier | To boost plant air pressure for stamping |
| Air Cooling | Air-cooling of the stamping head enclosure with Vortec cooler for hot installations |
| High and Over Temp Outputs | Head temperature outputs for hot installations |
