New rugged controller for industrial marking machines
Pryor Marking Technology is launching the 4000 series embedded controller to underpin its entire range of dot, scribe and laser marking machines, as well as its portable, benchtop and production line integration models. The robust controller, which was developed in-house, is aimed at the industrial sector.
A 10.4inch industrial-grade touchscreen - which can be operated while wearing gloves - gives easy on-screen editing, drag-and-drop options, larger buttons and a live preview of what is being marked. Password protection is provided as standard so that operators can easily perform error-free marking.
At the same time, the electronics have been completely upgraded to allow far more intensive data processing. Also, expandable I/O enables many more controls and sensors to be integrated.
The controller is offered in benchtop, battery-powered and panel-mount versions. The operator interface is fully customisable, so manufacturers can have their own labels and images.
Alastair Morris, sales director, says: "This improved controller, which was designed and manufactured in the UK, is a superior product that is easy and intuitive to use. It enables in-house branding, and levels of password security that will allow different levels of access and use."
The company continues to offer its own PC-based software suite for its products, which also provides for full traceability in manufacturing processes.
