SYSTEM SETUP

1. Position tool stand assembly in desired location.
2. Mount marking head to the tool stand assembly using four
M8-1.25 socket head cap screws. Screws must extend into
the back plate at least 9mm (0.375 in.) but not more
than 12mm (0.5 in.). Refer to the Benchmark200 Marking
Head Dimensions drawing (above) for details.
C AU T I O N
The BM470 Controller is not a sealed unit. Protect it from
potentially damaging conditions and contaminants. Do not
block vents in bottom of case. Ensure the marking system
is electrically isolated from any devices that may generate
e x t r e m e e l e c t r o m a g n e t i c i n t e r f e r e n c e ( E M I ) .
3. Locate controller as close as practical to marking head.
Standard marker cable length is 4 m (13 ft.).
4. Ensure controller power switch (on back panel) is OFF;
connect power cable to controller.
5. Connect marker cable from marking head to controller;
tighten securely.
6. Position controller power switch to ON (on back panel) to
start the marking system software.
7. Adjust pin stroke for proper pin impact depth.

BENCHMARK200 MARKING HEAD

Specifications
The BenchMark200 marking head specifications are subject to
change without prior notice.
Dimensions ....................... see BenchMark200 Marking Head
Weight .............................. 5.63 Kg (12.375 lb.) marker & cable
Noise ................................. 70.9 dB (max); 61.8 dB (LEQ)
Operating Temperature. ... 0° to 50° C (32° to 122° F),
Marking Area .................... 100 x 100 mm (4.0 x 4.0 in.)
Pin Types .......................... 25XLE-series
Pin Material ....................... Tungsten Carbide
Marking Characteristics
The BenchMark200 can accommodate character sizes from
.762 to 100 mm (.030 to 4.0 in.) in .025 mm (.001 in.) increments.
Characters can be rotated in 1° increments with printing
resolutions from 5 dots/cm (10 dots/in.) to 75 dots/cm
(200 dots/in.) for an engraved look.
Marking Speeds
Generally, the system will mark three characters per second using
5x7 font, 3 mm (.118 in.) high, 2mm (.080 in.) wide characters.
Speeds will vary slightly depending on the selected character size,
style, and dot density. Specific times can be verified by a Telesis
representative.
Marking Depth
The BenchMark200 can obtain a marking depth of .127 mm
(.005 in.) in mild steel (Rb53) using a 25XLE carbide pin with a
45° cone angle. The depth of mark can be adjusted over a
significant range by changing the impact force (via software
parameter) or by changing the impact distance (pin stroke).
Specific depths can be verified by a Telesis representative.
