For the Kwik Mark KM-64, use the following components to route the axis cable:

- Use 2 sets of the DC-49 Cable for X and Y Axis Drive (2 sets are required per machine).
- Secure the cables with CA-2 Cable Anchor Screws with Nuts (2 sets).
- Route the cables through the appropriate pulleys (PY-1 Pulley for Cable Drive, 10 required per machine).

Ensure cables are properly anchored and guided using the pulleys to avoid tangling or obstruction during machine movement.

  • Page 5 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.
