MARKER 2000 Copyright Silca 2002 9 3 MACHINE INSTALLATION AND PREPARATION The marking machine can be installed by the purchaser and does not require any special skills. The machine is supplied ready for use and does not need to be set up. However, some checks and preparation for use need to be carried out by the operator. 3.1 Checking for damage The MARKER 2000 is solid and compact and will not normally damage if transport, unpacking and installation have been carried out according to the instructions in this manual. However, it is always advisable to check that the machine has not suffered any damage. 3.2 Environmental conditions To ensure that the best use is made of the marking machine, certain parameters must be borne in mind: damp, badly ventilated sites should be avoided. The ideal conditions for the machine are: temperature between 0 and 40°C, relative humidity approx. 60. 3.3 Positioning Place the machine on an horizontal surface, solid enough to take the weight (20 Kg.). To facilitate operation the height of workbench should be approx.100- 120 cm. It is important to leave sufficient space, especially behind the machine (20-30 cm) to ensure proper ventilation. Remember to provide space for the keyboard (fig. 9). WARNING: ensure that the machine voltage is the same as that of the mains, which must be properly earthed and provided with a differential switch. Connect the power cable and keyboard. Fig. 9 3.4 Description of work station The machine needs only one operator, who has the following controls at his/her disposal (fig. 9): - master switch placed on the back of the machine - clamp for positioning keys to be marked - keyboard - display 3.5 Graphics Fig. 10 WARNING: regulations require that warning label in the language to be used be attached to the machine as shown in fig. 10. keyboard clamp switch display (rear view) PUNCH REGULATION PLATE CLASS 3B LASER EQUIPMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULING CEI-76-2 ADHESIVE LABEL WITH LASER WARNING 2,5 3,5 1,5

10 Copyright Silca 2002 4 REGULATION AND USE OF THE MACHINE 4.1 Clamp The “C1” clamp, designed for the greatest possible number of flat keys, incorporates a rapid, easy to use system for securing and regulating the keys and comprises the following parts: G - key-locking jaw F2 - R/h back stop G1- jaw-locking knob F3 - L/h back stop E - clamp slide P - glass slide diffusor F - slide-locking knob P1 - glass slide rotating knob F1 - key head stop Fig. 11 During marking operations the clamp has two basic positions: Fig. 12 • MARKING position: The clamp is pushed all the way in towards the machine (fig. 12-A). Before marking takes place, an electronic control on the machine prevents commencement of the cycle if the clamp is not properly positioned. • TRACKING position: The clamp is pulled towards the operator (fig. 12-B) until it engages with the shutter. Activation of the laser beam to identify the marking zone is electronically controlled and a check is made to ensure that the clamp is not in the marking position. If the tracking disk (D1) is missing, a safety microswitch cuts off power to the tracking circuit. G1 F P P1 E F1 G F2 F3 D1 MARKING position TRACKING position A B

MARKER 2000 Copyright Silca 2002 11 4.2 Securing the keys Take the clamp to the “tracking” position to facilitate positioning of the key. Ensure that the glass slide diffusor (P) is not in the way by rotating it outwards with knob (P1) (fig. 13). 1) loosen the jaw-locking knob (G1); 2) select the side of the key to be marked, push the clamp (G) (fig. 13) and place the key with its back on the right-hand (F2) or left-hand (F3) stop, according to the shape of the profile; keys with cuts on both sides must be positioned in the centre and secured with the clamp inside the groove (fig. 14). 3) move the clamp (G) into the ideal position for securing the key (inside the groove) and tighten the knob (G1); the clamp (G) can be moved a maximum of 10 mm along the X axis. 4) loosen the locking knob (F), move the clamp slide (E) so that the key head is butting against the head stop (F1) and lock the slide with the knob (F). 5) to position other keys with the same features, simply adjust the clamp (G).

12 Copyright Silca 2002 4.3 Tracking Tracking defines the area in which the text will be contained. It comprises the following main parts: • Laser • Tracking disk (D1) with marking zone selection • Glass slide diffusor (P) By the combination of laser beam, disk and glass slide diffusor the marking zone is projected onto the head of the key. The tracking disk (D1) includes eight marking zones of different sizes and shapes (fig. 16). Other versions are available on request. WARNING: for tracking, always place the glass slide (P) over the key, otherwise the shiny surface of the key will prevent good visibility of the projected area (fig. 17 - position 1). When the tracking operation has been carried out, the glass slide (P) must be returned to position 2. For the operator’s safety, activation of the laser beam is electronically controlled and check is made to ensure that the clamp is not in the marking position. If the tracking disk (D1) is missing, a safety microswitch cuts off power to the tracking. Replacing the disk: 1) loosen the knob (D2) (fig. 16). 2) remove the disk (D1) and replace. 3) tighten the knob (D2).

MARKER 2000 Copyright Silca 2002 13 4.4 Marking punch regulation ring The regulation ring (C) makes it possible to increase or decrease the distance between the punch and the surface to be marked. This distance, together with the type of material from which the key is made and the size of the chosen characters, affects the quality of the microdots used in marking. The regulation plate (fig. 18) has 3 positions suitable for keys with a thickness of 1,5 mm, 2,5 mm and 3,5 mm. When the ring (C) is placed in the position shown by the dotted line (2,5 mm) the machine is set on a standard distance ideal for marking key thickness of between 2 and 3 mm (fig. 18). For special thickness and to alter the depression depth to the operator’s requirements, use the regulating ring (C), bearing in mind that: - turning the ring to the right lowers the point. - turning the ring to the left raises the point. WARNING: do not move the ring (C) beyond the black lines (relating to thickness 1,5mm and 3,5mm). Fig. 18 4.5 Marking The marking method is that of punching onto a surface a series of dots which form letters, numbers and symbols. Various fonts are available, such as: 6x8 8x8 8x14 8x16 12x14 (inclined) For detailed information regarding the selection and use of the different fonts, see the software manual ”MARKER 2000 PROGRAM”.

On the second line enter the last number of the series and confirm with ENTER. Incr. = increase The increase set by default is 1 so that during the marking operation the program generates a sequential list of data with increases of one unit. E.g.: Incr. 1: A001 - A002 - A003 ... E.g.: Incr. 3: A001 - A004 - A007 ... WARNING: alphanumeric lists cannot be generated as the program considers only numerical characters in the marking sequence and does not modify letters. When confirmation has been given with F10 a number is displayed to identify the “automatic counter” function. The automatic counter function can also have automatic or customized formatting.
