MODIFIED MACHINE MODELS

EXTENDED HEAD AND STROKE MODELS

Most models can be extended in the rod stroke length. Additionally the marking head

itself can be extended for difficult to reach or recessed areas. Drawings of typical

extended stroke and extended head marking machines are shown below.

Cylinder stroke extensions of 1", 2", and 4" are standard and are often used when the

machine must set back further from the surface to be marked than standard machines.

A 1" extended head is available as a standard option on most models and is used

primarily to mark in recessed areas.

Please note that extended machines may have correspondingly higher overall heights,

somewhat slower cycle speeds, and precision of marking registration can become

slightly more variable with longer extensions.

Dimensional drawings are available in the Downloads section.

Many models have been made to fit specific marking applications. Several common

modifications to both the basic and extended models have been split reservoirs,

metal heads, and custom marking heads for marking radiused surfaces.

Split reservoirs are used to distribute different colors or types of ink with the same

motion of the marking head.

Metal heads of various designs have been made for marking on typically rubber or

conformable surfaces.

Additionally custom heads to mark as much as one third of the way around tubular

surfaces have been designed.

Since each application tends to be different, it is best to consult Sprinter or your

Sprinter representative on specifics of the application so a feasibility study / quotation

may be prepared. Single machine trials are recommended for initial orders.
