Scribe marking systems
Our IMS (Independent Marking System) product line is used for unique, tamper-proof component identification. This process is called scribe marking and is used to permanently mark workpieces made of solid materials. You have full flexibility in choosing texts, scribing depths, and font size.
Scribe marking systems and equipment
Being fully modular, ATN’s IMS is exceptionally flexible, making it suitable for a wide range of applications as well as for concept changes in production processes. We provide everything from manual workstations, to workshop solutions, to integration in fully automated plants.
The font editor integrated in the controller allows you to scale any single-line font for a highly customized typeface.
Design of the IMS applicators and scribe markers
IMS applicators are designed for maximum precision, repeatability and high marking speeds. Specially shaped and featuring a built-in height control mechanism, they maintain the required penetration depth even on uneven or cambered surfaces. Thanks to the diamond tip and the wide range of optional add-ons, the scribe markers can be flexibly adapted to any application. The workpiece material hardness, the type of diamond needle used and a pneumatic pressure setting determine the marking depth and shape.
For robot-guided applications, the ATN product portfolio includes the AKM-AL and AKM-AK series, while the AKM-ML series for a hand-held marking is characterized by its encapsulated design. You can add various functional extensions to our scribe markers to create your own scribe marking system, tailored to your requirements.
Function principle of the IMS controller
The IMS controller can be integrated in almost any customer-specific plant control system. It controls the drives and provides communication between the application head and any higher-level control system.
Function principle of the IMS coupling
Where required, IMS applicators can be fitted with a variety of quick-change couplings for rapid tooling changes in automated plants.
For guaranteed functionality and error-free communication, we supply a range of quick-change couplings specially designed for use with the IMS.
Function principle of the IMS quality control system
Ensuring a high scribe mark quality includes quality monitoring and verification. We offer a number of modules for this purpose, which can be used individually or in combination.
