Metal nameplate marking is fast and error-free with the ATF automatic plate marker. This benchtop laser marking system automatically marks metal plates and tags at least .020″ (.5 mm) thick. It uses a 6 Watt Nd:YAG laser for high quality engraving on bare and coated metal surfaces.
Automatic Tag Feed (ATF) System
The feed system uses adjustable guides to accommodate different size tags and plates. Once the guides are set, the operator loads a stack of plates into the input hopper. The feed system automatically moves each plate to the lasing area for marking, then the plate is moved to the bottom of the stack in the output hopper in first-in, first-out order.
Easy Setup and Data Entry
Program all your tag formats using the intuitive EuGENIUS layout software. Once formats are created, the PC can be disconnected. Connect the ATF system to your network and send data automatically from a host system. Use Ethernet, serial, for fieldbus communications for real-time tag creation.
Let Pannier handle system integration for you by adding Pannier 1Mark data management software. 1Mark accepts simple data streams from your host system, spreadsheets for batch data entry, or mistake-proof data entry at the workstation.
Easy Program Editing
Use the included EuGENIUS software to lay out marking programs for all your items. Easily add text, bar codes, graphics, and logos.
Foolproof Positioning
Use the Preview and Dry Run functions to see exactly where the laser will mark on your tag. Simply click and drag fields to reposition them.
Security
Lock individual fields to prevent unwanted changes. Set an optional supervisor password to prevent operators from modifying programs.
