Pryor launches new USB marking machine
Pryor Marking Technology has introduced the new Marktronic USB Markmate, a versatile, advanced machine for a comprehensive range of human readable marking requirements.
* Large marking area - the fully programmable Marktronic PF130-30 Portadot has a large 130 x 30mm marking area and its flexible stand-off posts can be adjusted to enable high quality dot peen marking to take place even in the most awkward of locations.
The variable force control allows the system to mark materials of hardness up to 62Rc (800Hv), which is sufficient for the majority of engineering applications, said Pryor.
If a larger Y-axis is required, then the PF130-40 Portadot model offers a longer stylus, nosepiece and standoff posts.

3D models of off-the-shelf telescopic slides
Telescopic ball bearing slide designer and manufacturer, Accuride International, has produced optimised 3D models of its 'off-the-shelf' products which can be downloaded via its website.
In addition, both models have a novel lead-screw design, which helps to ensure the high speed, precision marking required by so many engineering organisations.
John Kidder, commercial operations manager at Pryor, explained to manufacturingtalk.com: "It is not always possible, for a variety of reasons, including scale or safety, to move items requiring marking to a specific marking machine.
The introduction of these hand held, portable, Portadot dot peen markers means that high quality human readable and Data Matrix marking can be applied to items in situ".
* Easy to use - ease of use is supported by a multi-lingual, highly intuitive user interface, displayed on an LCD screen.
Operators can choose character font and size as well as angular and arc marking, serial number and date and time marking.
Both models are powered by 110/220V electric supply.
Neither model requires compressed air for operation, which makes them significantly quieter than pneumatically operated marking systems, said Pryor.
Pryor will be sharing its stand with its subsidiary, Absolute Vision, a developer and manufacturer of Data Matrix readers and vision systems.
