- The distance between the
stylus and the part is greater
than 10mm.
Ensure that the part is in the right
position and check the distance
between the stylus and the part.
- The machine is making
strange noises.
- The drive and/or guidance
systems are clogged.
- Clean the mechanics according to
the instructions in the maintenance
manual.
 Problem with the marking
quality:
- The impacts are not properly
aligned.
- The impacts are irregular (in
terms of depth).
- The part to be marked is
inadequately secured or the
machine is not properly locked
over the part.
- The marking speed is too high
in relation to the height of the
characters.
- The depth of the impacts is too
high in relation to the height of
the characters and their matrix.
- Clamp the part or keep the
machine locked onto the smoothest
possible face of the part to be
marked.
- Reduce the marking speed,
increase the height of the
characters.
- Reduce the marking force, use a
looser matrix, increase the height of
the characters or change the height
of the stylus/part according to the
chosen force*.
*Reminder:
The depth of the marking depends on the impact force, but also the distance between the stylus and the part.
For the M4 inline machine, the recommended distance is 3mm. With this setting, a gradual 1 to 6 force depth is
obtained.
When installing the machine, it may be necessary to modify the stylus/part distance. The usage ranges for each force
are as follows:
 Force 1: from 1mm to 4mm
 Force 2: from 2mm to 6mm
 Force 3: from 2mm to 8mm
 Force 4: from 2mm to 8mm
 Force 5: from 2mm to 8mm
 Force 6: from 2mm to 8mm
Respecting the stylus/part distances is essential to ensure the required depth, with optimum marking quality.
At lower forces (1, 2 and 3), if the stylus is too far away, it will not actually touch the part during marking.
At higher forces (4, 5 and 6), the further away the stylus (within the limits of its potential 9mm course), the stronger
the impact.
N.B.: marking small characters at a high force may render the marking illegible.
