Telesis NOMAD 4000 Manual

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

®
The Telesis NOMAD 4000 marking system permanently prints
messages into a variety of materials such as steel, aluminum, and
plastic. A hardened pin is accelerated to indent dot matrix
characters into the item being marked at depths up to .30 mm
(.012 in.) in mild steel. Character shape, size, density, and location
are determined by the user through the marking system software.
The Marking Head is an electromechanical marker. A metal-
formed cover houses the internal, mechanical components that
position the pin cartridge. An electric solenoid fires the marking
pin and an internal spring returns the pin to its idle position within
the cartridge. The marking head moves the pin cartridge through
X- and Y-axis rectilinear motions to reach the correct position for
each dot of the characters to be marked. The system software
automatically controls pin extension to mark the message.
The marker uses two stepper-motor drives to rapidly and
accurately position the pin at coordinate-defined locations in the
marking window within .006 mm (.00024 in.). The marker
accommodates the rigorous dynamics of impacting, rebounding,
and rapid positioning of the marking pin through a linear
rail/ball bearing saddle assembly, ceramic-coated guide
shaft/linear bushing assemblies, and drive motors with rack and
pinion gearing.
The lightweight and portable NOMAD 4000 is battery operated
and designed for remote operation. The hand-held marker
incorporates a pistol grip handle with a Start Print pushbutton
switch. A rear-mounted handle provides additional stability
during marking. It can be used in virtually any orientation.
The integral standoff with its padded front surface is held
against the marking surface while marking. The standoff can be
adjusted forward and aft to change the pin stroke..

NOMAD 4000 Marking System
The Pin Cartridge, machined from engineered plastic
materials, offers long life with little maintenance. Screws attach
the pin cartridge to the marking head for easy removal, cleaning,
and pin replacement. The cartridge/solenoid assembly can be
configured for Long Throw or Short Throw operation. Long
Throw configuration allows for deeper marks while Short
Throw configuration allows for faster marking.
The Marking Pins are made of carbide and are available in 30°
and 45° cone angles.
The Marker Cable Permanently connects the marker to the
controller. The cable is 2 m (6.5 ft.) long and is pre-wired to the
marking head.
NOMAD 4000 (470HH) Controller provides the electrical
interface and software control of the Nomad 4000 marking head.
