The ECM-500 system provides a rotating spindle to mark around the circumference of a product. Cylindrical products such as connector bodies or back shells are set on the spindle and rotated while the inkjet printer is triggered. Spindle rotation is activated by a foot switch or optional photo sensor. The print head is positioned using fine pitch screw driven slides and can be set to mark anywhere in a cylindrical area 8 inches in diameter and 6 inches in height. The print head holder rotates from 0-90 degrees around the Z-axis to allow the printing on hard to reach surfaces. Rotation speed for different radius parts is controlled by a knob on the front panel. A selector switch allows one or two rotations to insure printing does not occur during spindle acceleration or deceleration.

The ECM 500L system provides a rotating spindle to mark around the circumference of a product as well as a linear traverse for marking on flat product. Cylindrical products such as connector bodies or back shells are set on the spindle and rotated while the inkjet printer is triggered. Spindle rotation is activated by a foot switch. The print head is positioned using fine pitch screw driven slides and can be set to mark anywhere in a cylindrical area 8 inches in diameter and 6 inches in height. Rotation speed for different radius parts is controlled by a knob on the front panel. A selector switch allows one or two rotations to insure printing does not occur during spindle acceleration or deceleration. For flat part marking the print head holder rotates to 90 degrees around the Z- axis. Parts are placed on the fixture table and when the footswitch is activated the print head traverses over the part.

The ECM-500V system provides a rotating spindle to mark around the circumference of a product as well as a linear axis to allow the print head to be repositioned for multiple marks. Cylindrical products are set on the spindle and rotated while the inkjet printer is triggered. Spindle rotation is activated by a foot switch. The print head is initially positioned using fine pitch screw driven slides and can be set to mark anywhere in a cylindrical area 8 inches in diameter and 6 inches in height. Rotation speed for different radius parts is controlled by a knob on the front panel. A selector switch allows one or two rotations to insure printing does not occur during spindle acceleration or deceleration. If a second or third mark is selected, the z- axis is moved down by a preset distance after the first mark is complete. A digital output signals the printer to select the new message, and the part is rotated again. After the final print, the z-axis then returns to its initial position.

The ECM-500 HD system provides a geared rotating spindle to mark around the circumference of large bulky products. Cylindrical products such couplings or fittings are set on the spindle tooling and rotated while the inkjet printer is triggered. Multiple options for spindle tooling are available or the customer may provide their own. Print head mounting can be done with fixed positioning, micro-slide adjustment or motor controlled adjustment. Rotation speed can be manual or tied to radius parameters. Full position and speed control for a family of products with bar code recall can be set up with our touch-screen PC and motorized slide options.
