Overview
The Telesis TMM5100 is a professional-grade PINSTAMP multiple pin marking system head designed for permanent indentation marking in industrial production environments. The system permanently prints messages into a variety of materials such as steel, aluminum, and plastic through hardened pins that are pneumatically accelerated to indent dot matrix characters into the item being marked. The TMM5100 can mark up to six characters per second, making it suitable for high-speed manufacturing lines and integration into automated systems.
Key Features
- High-speed operation with up to six pins marking simultaneously
- Capable of producing characters as small as 0.06″ (1.5 mm) with resolutions from 10 to 200 dots per inch
- Marking windows up to 0.625″ × 4.5″ (16mm × 114mm)
- Includes mechanical motion components for precise X/Y positioning and pneumatic components to drive the marking pins
- Stores up to 400 marking patterns for flexible production workflows
- Four marking modes available: Raster, Matrix, Continuous, and Segment modes to optimize quality and speed
Technical Specifications
- Operating temperature: 32° to 122°F (0° to 50°C), non-condensing
- Adjustable pin stroke and drive air pressure for variable mark depth
- Marking pattern capacity: up to 400 patterns
- Multiple marking modes for resolution and speed optimization
- X/Y-axis traversing mechanism for precise character positioning
- Filter and dual-port configuration with top male pin header
Typical Applications
The Telesis TMM5100 is suitable for:
- High-volume production line integration for permanent part marking
- Handheld or stand-alone marking operations in manufacturing facilities
- Production of serial numbers, lot codes, and variable data on metal and plastic components
- Industries including automotive, aerospace, tool manufacturing, and contract manufacturing
- Situations requiring rapid, reliable, and permanent character indentation on diverse materials
Compatibility & Replacements
Compatible With
