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.
