MACHINE MOUNTING OPTIONS
For optimal Sprinter machine performance, it is highly recommended that one of the
brackets shown below be used. This will assure the marking head can be aligned and
positioned accurately with the surface to be marked. These brackets will allow for
changes in manufacturing conditions and easy repositioning on job changes.
MOUNTING BRACKET OPTIONS
Either bracket provides a five-axis adjustability normally required to adjust and align
the marking head. It is highly recommended that one of the optional brackets be used
to assure required machine adjustability. Two similar types of brackets are offered.
These are designated as the relative positioning bracket and the micro-adjusting bracket.
Either bracket has the same micro-adjustability of moving the machine up-and-down
to adjust for precise marking head contact as depicted below.
Each mounting bracket provides a swiveling action of the marking head from front-
to-back and left-to-right. In addition to the micro-adjustability and swiveling action,
each bracket has a front-to-back and left-to-right one half inch range of travel to allow
quick repositioning of the marking head. The relative positioning bracket relies on
manual adjustment to loosen the appropriate bolts and manually swivel the marking
head. The micro-adjusting bracket provides a controlled "fine tuning" capability of
swiveling the marking head on a controlled basis. The relative positioning bracket is
recommended for the majority of applications. Consult Sprinter Marking if there is a
question on which technique might be more suitable. Bracket dimensional drawings
are available in the Downloads section.
MOUNTING DIRECTLY TO FRAME BODY
A less common mounting option is to mount the machine directly to the frame body
or a locally designed bracket. In this option a provision must be made in mounting the
machine so that the marking head can easily adjust and align with the surface to be
marked. To insure the best possible results it is necessary that a provision for both
adjustment and alignment of the marking head as indicated in the above brackets be
provided when engineering the mounting arrangement.
OFF LINE MOUNTING
For off-line mounting, the benchmount or benchtop base units accomodate either
mounting bracket to allow mounting of any machine model.
