Schmidt Styliner Slimliner Stylus Marking Systems for use in Integration and Automation
The Slimliner stylus marking machines have been designed to incorporate a small tool envelope with an available “z” axis movement and practical marking field sizes.
Slimliners are widely used in automotive applications where space is limited and identical marks must be applied to surfaces of differing heights.
An example application would be an automotive powertrain where two identical VIN derivatives must be applied on both the motor block and the transmission bell housing, but the marking surfaces are at different heights and attack angles.
Standard systems include;
- Separate marking head with a 5/8” x 3” marking field, steel protective cover with tooling mounting locations for integration into manufacturing and automotive assembly lines, back-up tooling systems, balancer assisted hand held tooling systems, etc.
- Separate marking head with 5” x 3” marking field with a 1.5” powered “z” axis, steel protective cover and mounting holes for integrating the marker into clamp tooling, an articulating arm, robotic arm, etc on automotive assembly or manufacturing lines.
