Semi-Automatic systems are suitable for those products requiring medium to high volume part-marking. The basic system consists of a pneumatic piston, etching control unit and electrolyte dosing pump delivering the fluid to the markinghead.
The operator simply loads the part, presses a footswitch and the marking is automatically completed.
The 2 main models are the FlowEtch and the ModulMat
FlowEtch semi-automatic etching system
Flowetch Compact is a high power semi-automatic marking system, capable of marking products in 1-3 seconds. Black and deep-etching is possible on a variety of metals.
The electrolyte pump delivers electrolyte to the marking head, overflowing into the basin and filtering back to the pump reservoir via plastic hosing. Upon activation of the footswitch the earthing tip descends onto the product for marking, remains for a set interval then returns, awaiting the next product.
The Flowetch Compact system recycles electrolyte, both cooling and cleaning the marking process during operation.
Included in the system is:
- The electro-pneumatic etch stand- Conveniently adjusts both vertically and horizontally to suit various dimensions of the products
- Support base with milled t-slots
- Perspex overflow basin.
- Pump and filtered reservoir system-Variable control of electrolyte feed and 5 Litre reservoir capacity. Includes electrolyte filter.
- Footswitch- For convenient hands free activation of marking
- Jigging- 2 individually adjustable fingers and one adjustable backstop.
- Marking head -flat durable graphite and perspex.
Modulmat semi-automatic etching system
The Modulmat system is a semi-automatic marking system. A versatile high powered etching control unit enables both black and deep marking on a variety of metals.
The dosing pump delivers enough electrolyte to the marking head to keep the head moist. Upon activation of the footswitch the marking head descends onto the product for marking, remains for a set interval then returns, awaiting the next product.
Included in the system is:
- The electro-pneumatic etch stand- Conveniently adjusts both vertically and horizontally to suit various dimensions of the products
- Support base with milled t-slots
- Tube Pump system-Variable control of electrolyte feed.
- Stencil Holder with adjustable axis
- Footswitch- For convenient hands free activation of marking
- Jigging blocks to mount into T-Slots
- Marking head -flat durable graphite and perspex.
