INKJET part marking offers the flexibility of quick data changes when marking a variety of products in small lots. However, for an inkjet printer to work either the part or the print head must move. The AS-1000H functions as a transporter to move an inkjet print head past a product at a fixed speed while applying the part mark. The unit can be operated as a handheld which allows an operator to mark large or small parts within a 6-15 foot radius of the printer.

The HMP-1580 Advanced Part marking system was designed specifically for aerospace product identification. The system can mark parts as small as fasteners to as large as wing spars from the same platform. The working part of the system couples an industrial inkjet printer to our AS-1000H Handheld transport device. AS-1000H provides motion of the inkjet print head across the product to create the identification mark. The print head does not touch the product which allows the mark to conform to rough or contoured surfaces.

The ECM-501HD 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 10+ inches in diameter and 8 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.

The ECM-501 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.

The ECM 501L 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.

The ECM-3001 is a computer controlled marking system capable of marking cylindrical and linear connector products on the same platform. Cylindrical products such as connector bodies or back shells are set on the spindle and rotated while the inkjet printer is triggered. Linear products are positioned on a T-slot table. The print head is rotated 90 degrees with an adapter fitting and is then traversed over the top of the linear device to make the mark. All print head movement and positioning is controlled from the ECS connector marking software. Print head position and rotary speed data are entered on the touch screen or recalled from the database.

The AS-1000F is a short range motion controller designed for inkjet printing on stationary products. The end adapter can accommodate CIJ, HP cartridge or other DOD printers. The compact design allows the motion unit to be dropped into tight locations on production lines or fixtured as a table top printing system. The AS-1000F is actuated by any dry contact closure. When activated the controller will provide a dry contact output trigger to the inkjet printer and start the in-out motion.
