6.3.Sharpening the stylus
The stylus is a wear part of the TECHNOMARK machine.
Repeated markings (especially on hard materials) will blunt the tip. The quality of the impact points (circularity, depth)
is thus reduced over time.
In addition, a lateral impact on a hard material may leave the tip chipped and result in poor quality marking.
All styluses provided with your TECHNOMARK machine (whether the standard model or with optional extras) are solid
carbide. As a result, it is possible to sharpen them using a suitable wheel.
The standard styluses are sharpened to 90° with a projecting tip. This configuration has the best marking
quality/service life ratio. However, we offer the option of different tips for specific applications (60°, 120°, aeronautics
with a tip radius of 0.2mm).
Check the initial sharpening angle of your stylus before you decide to resharpen it.
The stylus may rotate within its guide. Non-concentric sharpening will certainly cause
poor quality marking.
