The FPA-2000 Flexible Print Ami allows the user to quickly position the Videojet print head over a part on a conveyor. This is particularly useful when the size and orientation of the part changes constantly. The arms are balanced by air cylinders with attached regulators, allowing the operator to quickly and easily move the print head to a position. Once in position a toggle switch at the handle applies air to the clamping cylinders locking the arm in place. An angular adjustment at the print head mounting point allows up to a 90 degree adjustment to allow perpendicular marking of angles or oddly shaped parts. A fiber optic photoeye mounting bracket allows the product detector to mounted directly to the print head for easy and quick setup. An optional bracket allows the AS-1000 autostroker unit from our handheld system to be mounted on the flexible print arm. In this way the conveyor becomes a table top and the autostroker provides the motion necessary to create the mark. With the AS-1000 attached to the flexible print arm, the system can also be rotated opposite of the conveyor allowing the user to mark parts on a cart or another table. Air at 80 psi is required for system operation. Various widths and lengths of conveyors are available as optional equipment to the FPA-2000 Flexible Print Arm.
