For your safety The UMC box coining unit has been developed as the newest, state-of-the-art marking system concerning safety and reliability. We confirm that the UMC box marking system meets the fundamental safety and health requirements of the EEC machine guideline 98/37/EG. We provide the "EEC conformity explanation", and the CE-indication on the marking system.
Operational safety The marking system is built according to the latest state-of-the-art technology, and reliability in service. From this marking system, however, dangers can proceed if it is used by un- trained personnel inappropriately, or to not intended use. This can result in: Dangers for the safety of the operator.
3.2 Measures taken by the user/operator Consider warning plates and references Within operation and handling of the marking system, dangers can arise if not handled with proper care. In this manual, operating instructions are given, including appropriate warning references in the front. In addition, warning plates can be found on the marking system.
Duty to care in handling the marking system Guarantee perfect condition of the installation: The user and/or the circle of acquaintances assigned by him may operate • the marking system exclusively in the perfect condition. The user must ensure cleanliness and clarity of the work place at the mar- •...
When using the intended operational funds the instructions for use must be kept. As far as a safety data sheet (European guideline 91/155/EWG) of the manufacturer for operational funds is prescribed, the references made there must be considered obligatorily, like e. g.: Chemical characterization.
Danger overview The following chart outlines potential hazardous risks and endangerment to one's life from the marking system. Through construction and design, as well as implementation of safety devices as defined by the EEC machine guideline 98/37/EG, will prevent dangers and promote safety to personnel. If the user of the marking system can provide additional measures for the prevention of dangers, the user finds these additional measures in the following chart.

Short description The UMC box, coining unit, is a marking system for marking products through coining. Coining When coining, the marking takes place via a carbide point, which is brought to oscillating by compressed air. The carbide point is moved in X- and Y-direction by a coordinate unit with two stepping motors.

3.1 Marking unit Unit design 4 different unit designs are available: Table unit. • Hand-held unit. • Built-in unit. • Combination unit (combination of table unit and hand-held unit). • Customized special designs are also possible. Table unit With the table unit, the marking head is attached to a stand. The marking head can be manually moved up and down (Z-axis).
Hand-held unit With the hand-held unit, the marking head is put on the workpiece manually with a handle or a double handle. At the handle there is a releasing pushbutton for the start of the marking. Built-in unit The built-in unit corresponds to the table device without stand. It is intended for the installation into production and assembly lines.

3.3 Control UMC box All coining heads of the PinMark family can be controlled by the control UMC box. The external PC (not included in delivery) communicates with the control over the RS232 interface. In addition the control and thus the entire marking system can be controlled from external.
External communication The marking system can communicate with external controls via the connection BU2. Digital I/O signals are sent via this connection, e. g. start with foot switch, ready for operation, ready to mark, marking and E-STOP. The high level of the input signals is defined between 17 -30 V DC, the high level for output signals will be 24 V DC.

Operating devices and indicators The following operating devices are available at the UMC box: Pushbutton ENTER for acknowledgment and start of the marking. • Pushbutton ESC for program abort. • The following indicators are available at the UMC box: 4 status LEDs. •...
1.2 Status-LEDs 4 coloured LEDs are situated at the front of the UMC box. They indicate the current status of the marking system. After switching on the UMC box the LEDs are tested: all 4 LEDs are switched on and off again for 3 s one after the other. The white LED "Power on" remains switched on.
Basics of operation 2.1 Text fields, Masks and Projects The software is based on the use of text fields and masks. Several text fields which belong to one workpiece are combined in a mask. A mask can contain max. 31 text fields. A text field can contain max. 50 characters or one graphic. If more than 31 text fields are needed for the marking of a workpiece, several masks must be created.
2.2 Switching on and off the control Switching on the control Electronics damage to control possible! Control must be switched off for at least 20 s before switching on. Switch on MAIN SWITCH. Control boots, axes of the marking head reference: the slide of the marking head moves in X-direction until the X-initiator actuates.
Switching off the control 1. Save all changes of the current mask or project (see pages 4-19 and 4-20). 2. After no keys is pressed for a short time: switch off MAIN SWITCH. 2.3 Brief instruction: marking a workpiece 1. Switch on control via MAIN SWITCH. 2.
Working with masks 3.1 Creating a text field Several text fields which belong to one workpiece are combined in a mask. A mask can contain max. 31 text fields. If more than 31 text fields are needed for the marking of a workpiece, several masks must be created. Type text field 5 different types of text field are available: Text: text is aligned on a straight line.
Creating a new text field 1. Select File > New mask. "Mask Data" appears. Mask "Mask Data" Fig. 10221en 2. Enter the number of the text field behind "Textfield". 3. Select the desired type of text field (see page 4-8) behind "Type". Depending on the selected "Type"...

10. If the text shall not be marked on a horizontal line: enter the desired angle of rotation of the text in [° ] under "Angle". A vertical text corresponds to an angle of 90° . 11. Enter the diameter of the circular arc in [mm] under "Diameter", if circular text is marked.
Editing a text field A text field that is already created can be edited in the edit or service mode at any time. 1. If the mask in which the text field shall be edited is not the current mask: select File >...
3.2 Working with wildcards Instead of text also a wildcard can be entered in a text field. With wildcards variable information (e. g. current date or time) can be marked. The information isn't queried by the system until the marking takes place. Wildcards are included by 2 "@"...
Objects are saved in an object list and can be inserted in as many masks as de- sired. E. g. if a four-digit counter is needed on several different workpieces, which begins with 0 and ends with 250, this counter must be created only once. Note If "Autosave"...

4. Enter the following values: "Shift start": enter the hour of the shift start in the first column. Enter the minute of the shift start in the second column. "Text": displayed text, when the current time corresponds to the rela- tive shift.
3.4 Saving masks 1. Create the mask with all desired text fields (see paragraph 3.1, page 4-8). 2. Select File > Save Mask. If a new mask is saved (mask doesn't have a file name yet) "Save File" appears. If the mask has been saved once and therefore has a file name, the mask will be saved.
Working with projects If the same masks are used on different marking units with different marking heads, the masks can be stored as projects. Beside the mask with all text fields a project contains also all current adjustments e. g. used marking head. If the mask is stored as project, these adjustments must be entered only once for each marking head.
4.2 Opening a project 1. Select File > Open Project. "Load File" appears. Mask "Load File" Fig. 10268en 2. Select the desired file (project). 3. Select Project is opened: mask which is stored in this project is opened, all stored adjustments are assumed by the control.

Fonts 15 different fonts are available in the software. By default the software uses the font 'litt.chr'. To select another font: select CHR in "Mask Data" and select the desired font from the list (see page 4-10). For every individual of the 31 text fields of a mask you can select another font. As a result of the different layouts of the individual fonts however differences can arise in the character width, height and size.
This font is a proportionally font, i. e. the individual letters possess different character widths (e. g. a W is wider than an i). The following illustration clarifies the structure of the characters by the example of the Ö and y: Structure of font 'litt.chr' Fig.
