SECTION 1.0
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Section 1.0 - General Description
Work Safely. Always wear safety glasses near the machine.
The KwikMark Marker is a self contained bench top dot peen (impact) marker designed to quickly and
consistently perform micro impacts on to the surface of a wide range of materials from hardened steel
to delicate plastics.
The X-Y axes are driven by a unique pre-loaded drive system for maintenance free high performance
operation. Two brushless programmable motors are used to actuate the X & Y drives to a linear
motion for the purpose of moving an impact head point to point over your product which causes the
marking operation.
The mark occurs by means of a solid carbide stylus vibrating between a spring and a jet of air
hundreds of times per second, performing the impact on the parts surface. The force is ballistic which
results in minimal stress to your product surface. Furthermore, this concept transfers no direct
stresses into the machine slides, for greater longevity.
The standard KwikMark (KM-64) operates within an approximate 6" x 4" work area and features
solid-state proximity switches as limit sensors for homing and initializing each axis. The KwikMark
features high resolution, repeatable performance due in part to the anti-backlash assembly of the
axial take up mechanism. The unique hardened and ground slide rods in combination with the
bearings result in long life and require no external lubrication or maintenance/service.
The bearings are steel backed with impregnated bronze/PTFE on the surface. In operation, on a
microscopic level, the teon acts as miniature strands rolling and interweaving within themselves,
providing the anti-friction properties. Because of this, no lubrication is required.
The KwikMark features high performance, high torque motors for fast speeds and high accelerations
resulting in quick and accurate motion. Because of the above, caution should be taken to keep the
operator aware of pinch points, moving slides, and sudden motions.
SECTION 2.0
SET-UP & START-UP
Section 2.0 - Set Up & Start Up
Work Safely. Always wear safety glasses near the machine.
Because of the fast speeds and extremely high acceleration rates caution should be taken to keep the operator
aware of pinch points, moving slides and sudden motions.
Select a steady work bench or machine base to support the Kwikmark. Because of the high speeds and accelerations
during operation a solid top such as butcher block maple or metal works best. The work area should have an approximate
22 inch deep by 36 inch wide open space for the machine clearance, cabling, etc.
Carefully remove the Kwikmark from its box, place it on the bench and inspect the unit in general to verify that no damage
has taken place during shipment.
Assemble the handwheel to the top of the vertical leadscrew on the upright column. Assemble the lter/regulator/gage unit
to the valve on the left side of the machine. These components are removed for shipping to minimize chance of damage
during transit.
When the Kwikmark and accessories are in position at your work area, begin the following procedures:
1. Turn o power switch (press E-Stop) before plugging the unit into your power outlet.
2. Connect the keyboard to the ps-2 (mini-din) receptacle located on the side of the machine.
See Diagram 2 in Section 6 Machine Diagrams
3. Connect a 25- 80 PSI clean and ltered air line to the pneumatic air prep input on the side of the machine.
The input tting is 1/8th NPT thread. This is directly connected to the lter, gauge and regulator also at the
side of the machine. See Diagram 2 in Section 6 Machine Diagrams
4. If using the optional KwikTurn cylindrical attachment, connect the yellow signal cable to the 5 pin hex I/O
connector also located on the side of the machine. See Diagram 2 in Section 6 Machine Diagrams
5. Plug the 110 power cord to your power source. Requirement is: 110-220 VAC, 50-60Hz, 2.5 Amp service.
See Diagram 2 in Section 6 Machine Diagrams
Machine Set Up
Section 2.0 - Set Up & Start Up
Work Safely. Always wear safety glasses near the machine.
After the connections are complete, begin the following:
1. Turn the machine on (twist E-Stop). The 4 line LCD display will show a “welcome” screen in about 20-25
seconds. This lasts only 3 seconds. The main menu will appear in about 25-30 seconds after power-up.
(Main Menu is: “RUN JOB” screen)
2. Be sure the tooling / xturing is secure on the KwikMark base prior to attempting any marking operation.
3. Using the Arrows on the Key Board, jog the tip to the desired position over the surface you wish to mark.
4. Adjust the air pressure (PSI) with the regulator on the side of the machine. Turn the handwheel on top of the
KwikMark until the tip is the approximate distance. Per chart below.
Machine Start Up
The above are only approximations. It is more important to tune the frequency of the pin for a nice BZZZZZZZZ
sound. If the pin is too far away it will be a low pitch, too close and the pin will stall and scratch not impact material.
The KwikMark has two modes of operation:
Express Text:
• Single Line
• Normal Text
• Marks from Current Pin position
• Does not Save File
For Express Text: Press F1 on the (ps-2) keyboard. Follow LCD screen prompts as follows:
• Type the text you wish to mark (press Enter)
• Accept default text height or type over (press Enter)
• Press Space Bar to begin marking cycle
Or Standard Text:
• Limitless Amount of Lines / File
• Straight, Angular or Arc Text
• Innite Font Size / Line
• Each Line has X-Y Position
• Multiple Serial Numbering / File
• Date Code & Time Stamping
• Graphics Marking
• Saves the File
