• Parts : 2 types of cups
  - standard,
  - ABS.
• Material : steel
• Cycle time imposed : 300 parts per hour.
• Principle : the marking station is mounted above the conveyor belt immediately after the tempering machine. The parts that come directly from the tempering process are positioned on a carousel ready to be marked.

The axle cups, after being tempered, arrive at the opening of the marking machine and are positioned on the carousel. Sensors trigger off the marking process and ensure the steady flow of cups to and from the marking machine. The text to be marked is determined by information coming directly from the quenching machine.

Once the marking has finished, the central control unit transmits the 'end of marking' signal and the cup is placed back on the conveyor belt to continue its processing.

Equipment involved :

2 identical marking stations installed on the production line 1 and 2 of the cups GE86 and ABS :

• Marking head
• SA22
• customized software
• 8I / 8O board.
