The Automator line of dot peen marking systems makes marking easier than ever before. These programmable marking machines use the revolutionary AC500 touchscreen controller for setup and data input. Use one system for marking anything in your shop: parts, tooling, metal tags and nameplates.
- High quality marking on metal or plastic materials
- Automatic data entry help eliminate marking errors
- Fixtures attach easily to the base for fast and consistent part positioning
Easy Part & Tag Marking
Benchtop marking systems include a heavy-duty tool stand to hold the marking head and air regulator. The vertical position of the marking head is adjusted using the manual adjustment wheel or an optional programmable Z axis for marking in hard-to-reach areas.
The standard 12″ x 12″ base is made of slotted aluminum extrusion for easy attachment and positioning of part holding fixtures. Let Pannier help you with custom bases and fixtures when needed. For occasional marking of large parts, the system can be configured as a “combo” unit with a marking head with handles that can be disconnected from the stand.
Easy Setup
The AC500 universal controller makes setup fast and easy. Use the intuitive touchscreen interface to build your marking programs and adjust the size, style, location, and marking speed of each field to achieve the best mark.
Mistake-free Marking
Use advanced data entry methods to eliminate data entry mistakes. Set automatic date, shift, and serial number fields. Send data automatically from a bar code scanner, spreadsheet, or data file from your MES/ERP system.
Security
Use passwords to protect your marking programs from unwanted changes. All programs and files can be copied to a USB storage device for backup and transfer to additional controllers.
Choose the marking head with the best window size for your application. The marking window represents the maximum amount of space available for marking.
