6.4.The spring
The stylus is a wear part of the TECHNOMARK machine.
The spring plays a crucial role in marking quality. In fact, a ‘tired’ spring will not allow the stylus to return to its original
position quickly and the impacts may be too slight or not properly spaced. If you notice this fault, change the spring.
Use the same procedure as for lubricating the stylus to dismantle the impact unit.
The service life of the spring is linked to the course of the stylus, the frequency of vibration and the operating
temperature of the impact unit.
7. Compatibility with Integrated Multi4 V3 (NMI0-IE).
The M4 inline machine is technologically compatible with a machine from the Integrated Multi4 V3 range. This
compatibility is achieved through the use of the same connector between the marking head and the control unit on
the two ranges of products. This has been made possible for the use of backup machines for industrial sites already
equipped with the two ranges of machine: Integrated Multi4 V3 and M4 inline. It enables:
- the replacement of a M4 inline marking head by a Multi4 V3 marking head (with the M4 inline control unit)
- or the replacement of a Multi4 V3 marking head by a M4 inline marking head (with the Multi4 V3 control unit)
Important: this has been made possible for the sole purpose of avoiding production stops.
This is a temporary back-up solution, the time to repair the original machine.
In this specific case, the capacities of the following machine functions may be affected and not ensured:
- IDI Mark&Track.
- Self-diagnosis.
- Graphical overview settings.
- Marking depths and speeds.
- Originals grip settings.
- Easyshift.
- Load factor.
- In/out settings.
Note the slight marking window difference (Y axis) between the M4 inline marking head and that of Multi4 V3:
M4 inline: Compact: 50x55 and standard: 120x55
For Multi 4 V3: Compact: 50x60 and standard: 120x60
N.B.: the usage possibilities in slave mode are very different. It may be impossible to replace one control unit range
with the other while keeping identical In/Out cables.
Normal free length of the spring: 53.5mm.
A spring is considered ‘tired’ when this length falls below 51mm.
Accessories from the two ranges are not compatible.
