Automation and Semi-automation

In order to keep pace with rapidly changing techniques and greater production speeds of today's industry, IMG/Electromark has developed our semi-automatic or completely automatic marking system.

Extra long life stencils, electrolyte pumps, and self cleaning electrolytes enable us to tailor machines to mark
almost any metal production line speeds. Our all electric, semi-automatic machines are readily adaptable to any line operation and can be moved or relocated in a matter of minutes.

The advantages of semi-automatic machines are several. First, with a small amount of inexpensive tooling the parts to be marked can always be positioned exactly under the marking head so that each piece is marked the same.

Second, each time the marking head comes down on the piece to be marked it applies the same pressure and time dwell, thus assuring identical marks. Third, the machine, when set on automatic movement will cause the marking head to move up and down at a predetermined rate. This can help increase production.

Special automatic units can be easily adapted to individual requirements; for instance double marking heads are available so that as one part is being marked another part is being located or made ready to be marked.

Air operated automatic units are also available as a kit, or completely assembled with proper tooling attached. This semi-automatic unit will provide up to 20,000 marks per eight hours shift; low cost, versatile "automation."
