To insert the type-holder or any other marking head,
loose the collet nut (Ref.23) e insert the shank with
the adequate diameter trough the above-mentioned
nut, which closes the collet (Ref. 22) e the ram anvil
(Ref.19). Once positioned the type-holder, tighten up
firmly the collet nut (Ref.23) to keep the marking
head in the desired alignment. The distance
between the shank and the collet nut must be about
1 o 2 mm.
Do not use hammers or other similar objects to
insert or secure the type-holder; in this case,
damages to the ram anvil or to the nut may occur
Note : Use only original shanks to avoid damages to
the ram anvil (ref. 19) or collet nut (Ref. 23)
If You do not use original Automator shank, when
screwing the collet nut, you can break the collet
The shank should move easily through the collet,
but there should be no play. The sizes of the shanks
for the different unit models are as follows :
MB19VPN – 8mm
MB21VP – 10mm
MB35VP – 16mm
Do not block the ram anvil (Ref. 19) exaggerating in the locking of the key retaining nut (measure 6)
The unit will not operate unless the ram anvil (Ref. 19) moves freely and smoothly. In the axial sense,
it is suggested a tolerance from 3 to 5/10.
Please note that the impact force comes from the centre of the tool holder (Ref.19) and type holders or
any tooling should not make contact with the collet nut (Ref.23) when in operation.
