Chapter 1General Information

* * * N O T I C E * * *This manual documents the TMP4100, the TMP4100E, and the TMP4150 marking heads.

The TMP4100 and TMP4150 heads contain a pneumatic pin that uses air pressure to drive thepin from and return the pin to the pin cartridge. The TMP4100E uses no air pressure. TheTMP4100E (electric) uses an electric solenoid to drive and an internal spring to assist pin return.

Maintenance of the marking heads is very similar. Where variation do exist, they will beclearly identified within the text to inform you of the differences.

TMP4100, TMP4100E: The TMP4100 and TMP4100E markers are hand-held markers. Theymay be used in any orientation except inverted (that is, with the handle pointing upward).

TMP4150: The TMP4150 is a fixture-mounted marker for in-line use. The marking head maybe mounted in any orientation except inverted (that is, with the mounting holes pointingupward). Typically, it should be mounted on a tooling fixture with the pin pointingdownward. The TMP4150 marking head employs a protective boot to help preventcontaminants from entering the marking head cavity.

The marking system design and specifications are subject to change without prior notice.

1.1 MAINTENANCE OVERVIEWThis manual provides troubleshooting, testing, verification, repair, and replacement procedures for themarking system. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for the carbide and steel impact pins used with themarking system are included in the Appendix of this manual.

Chapter 2Troubleshooting

2.1 MARKING HEADThis section provides troubleshooting information for the marking head. Refer to Table 2-1 to identifyproblems, their probable causes, and corrective action. If a defective component has been identified, refer toChapter 4 to repair or replace the component. If these procedures fail to correct the problem, contact TelesisCustomer Service.

Table 2-1. Troubleshooting the Marking Head

PROBLEM PROBABLE CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION

Cartridge base/frame mechanism does notinitialize when placed ONLINE. Noapparent movement.

When the ONLINE function is selected,the cartridge base/frame will seek home.This causes the cartridge base/frame totraverse to the middle left edge of itstravel (as viewed from the back of themarker). When the cartridge base/frameis already home, it will make a smallmovement away from home in both axes,then seek home again.

Refer to the TMP4100-Series/400Operator’s Manual for data entry andfunction selection.

Neither axis initializes or only one axismoves.

1. Control may be interrupted betweenthe controller and the marker.

1. Inspect the cable and connectorsbetween the controller and themarking head.

Check continuity. Refer to Chapter 3.

2. Power to the controller or to the drivemotors may be down.

2. Check the inlet fuses on the powerentry module. Refer to the TMP4100-Series/400 Operator’s Manual fordetails.

3. Defective cable between the controllerand marking head.

3. Disconnect marker cable fromcontroller.

Check resistance at marking headcable connector. Refer to Chapter 3.

If resistance is within tolerance, checkcontinuity of marker extension cable (ifused). Refer to Chapter 3.

If cable checks good, replacecontroller.

4. X-axis pulley loose, Y-axis cam loose,or cam flag bound on sensor.

4. Check the axis in question. Removethe four screws on the sides of thehead cover and visually inspect.

Try to move the axis in question andobserve the pulley/cam to see if itmoves independently of the motor.(This would indicate a loosepulley/cam.)

Table 2-1. Troubleshooting the Marking Head (continued)

PROBLEM PROBABLE CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION

The marker sounds as if the motors arerunning, but there is no motion in one orboth axes.

1. X-axis pulley loose or Y-axis camloose.

1. Turn off power to the controller.Disconnect the marking head cablefrom the controller.

TMP4100, TMP4150: Shut off airpressure to the marking head.

Remove the cover from the marker.Inspect drive system. Replace ifdamaged.

Turn the X-axis pulley and check forslippage on the motor.

If pulley is tight, check the motorresistance. Refer to Chapter 3.

If motor resistance is out of tolerance,replace the marking head.

2. The rail/carriage or pulleys may bebound or defective.

2. Try to physically move the axis thatwill not move electrically.

Check for external and internal causessuch as the mounting structure orparts which may be limiting the fulltravel of the cartridge base/frame andcartridge components.

Cartridge base/frame is attempting toinitialize. The motor or motors continue tosound as if they are running and thecartridge base/frame appears stalled at ornear the home position. Head doesn’t findthe home location.

1. There may be an interferencepreventing the cartridge base/framefrom reaching home.

1. Check for external and internal causessuch as the mounting structure orparts which may be limiting the fulltravel of the cartridge base/frame andcartridge components.

2. If both motors are stalled at the homelocation, a common factor such aspower or a connector associated withthe Home PCB could be at fault.

2. Check continuity of marker extensioncable (if used). Specifically, check theX HOME, Y HOME, +5VDC, and+5VDC RETURN signals. Refer toChapter 3.

3. If only one axis is stalled, the homeposition sensor for the stalled axismay be defective.

3. Inspect the flag and sensor associatedwith the malfunctioning axis. The flagsmust pass between the opposed legsof the sensors

Ensure the sensor is not cracked orbroken.

4. The home position flag may be out ofposition for the stalled axis.

4. When positioning the flags, ensurethere is safe passage of the flagbetween the sensors legs.

If the cartridge/pin does not find home inthe X-axis, try to push the cartridge/pinto the left to the center of the window(as viewed from the back). Place themarker online (press F2). If themarker now homes properly, the X-axis opto is out of adjustment. (Theflag is passing the opto causing thehead to run into the hard stop.) Movethe opto closer to the home side. Re-test by pushing the cartridge/pin to theright, then placing the marker online.

The marking pin does not fire. Marking head cable defective Disconnect the marker cable from thecontroller and check the solenoidresistance at the marker cable connector.Refer to Chapter 3.

The marking is not properly located on theprocess material.

1. The X and Y coordinates may beincorrect.

1. Refer to the TMP4100-Series/400Operator’s Manual for proper X,Yorientation.

2. The cartridge base/frame mechanismmay not be correctly positioned due toa slip or stall which may haveoccurred previously.

2. Excessive shock loading of themarking head can cause the cartridgebase/frame to slip out of position.Reset the marker and verify thatplacement is correct on subsequentmark operations.

The marking is cut off, truncated. Pin may be hanging up in cartridge orsolenoid may not be operating.

Clean the pin cartridge as required.

From the Supervisor Mode, pulse thesolenoid. Refer to the TMP4100-Series/400 Operator’s Manual for detailson pulsing the impact pin.

The marked characters are grouped inintervals. Gaps exist between characterintervals or characters are overlapped.

1. The cartridge base/frame mechanismmay be mechanically locked up.

1. Inspect the rail to determine if they arefree.

Clean rail and apply light oil (3-in-1).

If the rail/carriage is worn and causingbinding, replace the marking head.

2. The impact pin may be sticking intothe target material.

2. Verify the right pin type is selected foryour marker.

TMP4100, TMP4150: Drive Air shouldbe a minimum of 70 psi (4.8 bars).

Reduce the angle of the conicalimpact pin tip to prevent sticking anda faster withdrawal from the targetmaterial.

The indentation depth is insufficient. 1. TMP4150: The Pin Stroke distancemay be too large, or

1. TMP4150: Move the surface to bemarked closer to the pin, or repositionthe marker so that the pin is closer tothe target surface.

2. The pin may be too short due tosharpening, and may “bottom out” inthe pin bore before impacting orexpending all the energy in making anindentation.

TMP4100, TMP4150: On the largerpins (150S) there is a built inpneumatic cushion that slows the pinprior to bottoming out in the cartridge.

2. Replace pin as required. Refer toChapter 4.

3. The impact pin tip might be dull orbroken.

2. Sharpen pin or replace pin asrequired. Refer to Chapter 4.

PROBLEM PROBABLE CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION

The indentation depth or diameter is toolarge for the character size.

1. TMP4150: The Pin Stroke distancemay be too large.

1. TMP4150: Reduce the Pin Strokedistance to reduce the depth anddiameter.

2. TMP4100, TMP4150: The Drive Airpressure may be too high.

2. TMP4100, TMP4150: Reduce theDrive Air pressure as required.

3. Pin angle too shallow. 3. Use sharper pin.

The indentation depth is inconsistent. 1. If contiguously formed indentationsstart out large then diminish, thecartridge base/frame mechanismtraversing speed may exceed theimpact pin optimum rate. This couldbe the result of an incorrect setupselection of pin stroke or pin type

1. Verify accuracy of setup parameters.

2. TMP4100, TMP4150: The Drive Airtubing to the marking head may beundersized causing restricted air flow.

2. TMP4100, TMP4150: The Drive Airsupplying the regulators should be noless than 1/2" and the tubingsupplying the marker should be 1/4"minimum and not exceed 50 feet (13meters).

3. TMP4100, TMP4150: The Drive Airtube may be restricted causingdecreased flow to the valves, orplugged exhaust port.

3. TMP4100, TMP4150: Ensure the filteris not clogged or dirty. Clean asnecessary. Check the Drive Air tubingfrom the regulator to the markinghead, and inside the marker, forcrimped air lines or restrictions.

4. TMP4100, TMP4150: The Drive Airpressure regulator may be defective.

4. TMP4100, TMP4150: Verify that theoutlet air pressure is regulatingproperly. Replace if pressurevariations of more than 5 psi (0.3bars) are common.

5. TMP4100, TMP4150: The valve maybe dirty or defective.

5. TMP4100, TMP4150: Swapping thevalve with a working valve.

Indentation depth is inconsistent in aparticular area of the marking window.

1. TMP4100, TMP4150: The coiled DriveAir tubing may be kinked or restrictedwhen traversing

1. TMP4100, TMP4150: Inspect thetubing from the valve to the manifoldfor cracks, restrictions or crimps in thetubing.

2. TMP4100, TMP4150: Loose orincorrectly mounted head cartridge.

2. TMP4100, TMP4150: Check for aloose cartridge, leaking air, or acartridge mounted incorrectly.

3. TMP4100, TMP4150: Worn cartridge,or excessive dirt/oil in the Drive Airmaking the pin stick.

3. TMP4100, TMP4150: Inspect the pincartridge for excessive "blow by" air.

PROBLEM PROBABLE CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION

The indentations within the characters arenot placed accurately.

1. In order to optimize the marking timesof the system, it is important to enterall parameters correctly in order tosynchronize the impact pin impulsewith the end of the cartridgebase/frame move to the current pixellocation. This is accomplished byaccurate entry of Pin Stroke distanceand Pin Type.

1. Verify correct entry of all operatingparameters.

TMP4100, TMP4150: Inaccurate entryof Drive Air pressure.

2. The marker or material to be markedmay be moving relative to each otherduring the marking cycle.

2. In order to assure a high quality mark,it is important that there is little or norelative movement between themarker and material being marked.

The marked characters are wholly orpartially garbled or skewed.

1. TMP4100, TMP4150: The incorrectpin type may be entered, causing aslip. Sharper pins require slowermarking speeds, and with softermaterial, may hang up in the productbeing marked.

1. TMP4100, TMP4150: Verify that thecorrect operating parameters havebeen entered. On new installations, trya slower marking speed.

2. A slip may have occurred whilemarking due to an interference.

2. The material being marked may haveraised portions which are being struckby either the impact pin or thecartridge. A “dry run” with the pinretracted may verify the possibleinterference.

3. Excessive vibration of the marker inthe plane of the marking surface,normal to the indentation forces, mayhave caused a slip.

3. Due to the inherent nature of stepmotor driven systems, there is thepossibility of exceeding the holdingforce of the motors with impulseforces caused by vibration. Ensurethe mounting of the marker will notpromote vibration in the same planeas the cartridge base/frame traversingcomponents.

4. If the cartridge base/framemechanism does not fully travel to theHome position, it may reach the endof travel before the marking iscomplete.

4. Verify that the full range of travel inboth X and Y directions is achievableby jogging the unit to its extremepositions. If full travel is not possible,check the flag in that direction forproper location. Check forinterference. Verify there is nointernal binding of parts or tubing.

5. The impact pin may be momentarilysticking into the target material,resulting in excessive drag and slip.

5. The deeper that the impact pinpenetrates the target material, thelonger it takes to retract from thematerial. This is mostly due to theincreased energy transfer into thetarget.

Table 2-1. Troubleshooting the Marking Head (continued)

PROBLEM PROBABLE CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION

The marking time is too long for a givenapplication.

1. The character density selected maybe too high.

1. Reduce the font density or the numberof pixels per inch.

2. The marking mode may beinappropriate (i.e., Continuous).

2. TMP4100-Series Marking Systemsare flexible markers. The two markingmodes are Dot Matrix and Continuous.Each mode has advantages anddisadvantages with respect to speedand presentation. In the Dot Matrixmode the pixels are formed while thehead decelerates to the exact locationto place the pixel, then accelerates tothe next location. The Dot Matrixmode may also have more or lessdots, such as 5x7 compared with11x16; each font will have increasinglymore dots. The Continuous modeprovides a string of dots tracing thecharacters one at a time. The markinghead does not decelerate, thenaccelerate after positioning. Thenumber of pixels per inch determinethe density of the character pixelformation.

4.2 REPAIR PROCEDURESAuthorized repairs to the TMP4100-Series/400 Marking Systems are listed in the following paragraphs.Repair procedures not explicitly contained in this manual must be performed by repair agencies authorized byTelesis Technologies, Inc.

4.2.1 Impact Pin ReconditioningPeriodically, the tips of the impact pins will become dull and require reconditioning. Grind (or replace) theimpact pins on a regular basis to prevent dull pins from producing an unsatisfactory mark.

Pins should be reconditioned at the first sign of mark degradation or when the pin point becomes noticeablyflattened. The length of service between reconditioning will depend on the pin material, the material beingmarked and the depth of the mark desired. Table 4-1 lists the lengths for new and reconditioned pins. Thepin cone angle and length are illustrated in Figure 4-1.

Table 4-1. Impact Pin Lengths

PIN TYPE NEW LENGTH MINIMUM LENGTH

25XL (TMP4100, TMP4150) 2.49 in. (63.2 mm) 2.43 in. (61.7 mm)

150S (TMP4100, TMP4150) 2.75 in. (69.9 mm) 2.68 in. (68.1 mm)

25XLE (TMP4100E) 1.77 in. (45.0 mm) 1.70 in. (43.2 mm)

Figure 4-1. Pin Cone Angle and Length

TMP4100-Series/400 Maintenance

4-3

The recommended grinding wheels for the various pin material are listed below. The minimum pin lengthsallow for only about a 3% reduction in the total length during reconditioning. Therefore, only the smallestamount of material necessary to obtain a sharp point should be removed. Several small “cuts” should be taken,instead of larger ones, to avoid removing more material than necessary and to avoid overheating the pin.

PIN MATERIAL GRINDING WHEEL

COMPOSITE METAL ALUMINUM OXIDE (PINK 12A, BEST)

TUNGSTEN CARBIDE SILICONE CARBIDE (GREEN 39C)

W A R N I N G

Read the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) sheets, included in theAppendix of this manual, prior to reconditioning pins to become familiarwith reconditioning hazards.

Use the appropriate precautions, coolant, and abrasive for the pin materialand the grinding techniques described in the MSDS.

Always wear a respirator, safety glasses, and gloves when grinding metal.

The following will assure properly reconditioned pins:

1. Remove the impact pin / pin cartridge from the marking head. (see procedure)

2. Mount the pin in the fixture, making sure that the pin is supported near its point. This fixture must becapable of rotating the pin during the grinding operation.

3. Use the proper abrasive wheel for the pin material.

4. Coolant should be used.

5. Keep the abrasive wheel dressed for a straight conical-shaped point on the pin.

6. Set the fixture to obtain the desired pin cone angle.

7. Grind the pin to a sharp point, while continually rotating the pin.

8. Make several light “cuts” to reduce chatter and keep the pin cool. This reduces pin material waste.

Inhalation - Dusts or mists can cause irritation of the nose and throat. Inhalation can result in an allergic reaction inindividuals previously sensitized, causing difficult breathing. Dusts or mists also have the potential for causing transientor permanent respiratory disease, including occupational asthma and interstitial fibrosis in a small percentage of exposedindividuals. Symptoms include productive cough, wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness and weight loss. Nickelis suspected of causing nasal and lung cancer. Symptoms include pain, bleeding, nasal obstruction, vision impairment,weight loss and voice resonance change.

Skin Contact - Can cause irritation or an allergic skin rash due to chromium, cobalt, or nickel sensitization in peoplesusceptible to allergic reactions.

Eye Contact - Can cause irritation or conjunctivitis.

Ingestion - Ingestion of large amounts of cobalt over a period of time has the potential for causing blood, heart, and otherorgan problems. Current scientific information indicates no adverse effects are likely from ingestion of small amounts ofnickel dust generated from these products.

5. HEALTH HAZARD DATA (continued)

Carcinogenicity - The National Toxicology Program (NTP) found there was sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity ofnickel in experimental animals and limited evidence for the carcinogenicity of nickel in humans. The InternationalAgency for Research on Cancer (IARC) found there was inadequate evidence that metallic cobalt and metallic nickel arecarcinogenic to humans, but since there was sufficient evidence that they carcinogenic to animals, IARC concluded thatmetallic cobalt and metallic nickel are possibly carcinogenic to humans. IARC and NTP foundthere was inadequate data for the carcinogen city of chromium and trivalent chromium compounds. Cobalt has not beenclassified as a known or suspected carcinogen by NTP or OSHA. Nickel and chromium have not been classified as aknown or suspected carcinogen by OSHA.

Conditions Aggravated by Exposure - Lung and other pulmonary and skin conditions may be aggravated by exposure.

Emergency and First Aid Procedures:

INHALATION - If symptoms of pulmonary involvement develop (coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, etc.),remove from exposure and seek medical attention.

SKIN CONTACT - If irritation or rash occurs, thoroughly wash affected area with soap and water and isolate fromexposure. If irritation or rash persists, seek medical attention.

EYE CONTACT - If irritation occurs, flush with large amounts of water. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.

INGESTION - If substantial quantities are swallowed, dilute with a large amount of water, induce vomiting and seekmedical attention.

A. GENERAL COMMENTSWe do not consider this product in the form it is sold to constitute a physical hazard or a health hazard. Subsequentoperations, such as heating above 1200° F, cutting, and/or grinding, may cause some of the ingredients to change to aform which could affect exposed workers.

Routes of Exposure: X Skin Contact N/A Skin Absorption X Eye ContactX Acute Inhalation X Chronic Inhalation X Ingestion

Emergency First Aid:

Inhalation - Remove to fresh air. If condition continues, consult physician.

Eye Contact - Flush well with running water to remove particulate. Seek medical attention.

Skin Contact - Brush off excess dirt. Wash area well with soap and water.

Ingestion - Seek medical attention if large quantities of material have been ingested. (Ingestion of significantamounts of metal is unlikely.)

B. CONSTITUENT HAZARDSSee Appendix A, Permissible Exposure Limits, for the Threshold Limit Values (TLVs) for each constituent.

Effects of Overexposure:

Acute Exposure - Excessive inhalation of fumes from many metals can produce an acute reaction known as “metalfume fever”. Though metals such as copper and zinc have been most associated with metal fume fever, it issuspected by some authorities that other metallic fumes may produce this condition.

Symptoms consist of chills and fever (very similar to, and easily confused with, flu symptoms), which come on a fewhours after exposure. Long term effects of metal fume fever have not been noted.

Chronic Exposure - Excessive and repeated inhalation of chromium fumes or dust may cause severe irritation,ulceration, or cancer in the respiratory system – nose, throat and lungs. It is generally believed that the hexavalentforms of chromium (Cr+6) are responsible for these effects. Similarly, excessive inhalation of nickel fumes has beenassociated with respiratory cancer. Both chromium and nickel are sensitizers and may cause allergic reactions.Excessive and prolonged inhalation of manganese (generally over two years of exposure) can cause damage to thecentral nervous system – specifically, the pathology resembles Parkinson’s Disease. Molybdenum is not foreseen asa hazard in the present context. Though molybdenum has caused toxicity (anemia and poor growth) in farm animals,there is no documented toxicity to humans due to industrial exposures.
