Two methods, one head
The electromagnetic head switches between scribe and dot peen marking by software, without mechanical changeover; electromagnetic dot peening uses no compressed air and runs at a low noise level.

Why TSM?
Modular axes in a 50 mm grid
The marking range is selected in 50 mm steps on every axis; rotary and linear axes can be combined freely, special sizes are built on customer request.
Easy line integration
In the cross-slide design the Y axis is both infeed and marking axis, so the marking unit needs no extra feed slide; a TSM15-5-5I weighs approx. 20 kg.

Frequently asked questions
Do dot peen and scribe marking need two separate machines?
No. The TSM electromagnetic head switches between scribe and dot peen marking by software, without mechanical changeover. Pure dot peen or pure scribe systems are also available.
How large can the marking range be?
On the integration module the axes are selected in 50 mm steps: X 50–800 mm, Y and Z 50–400 mm (the series overview page states X up to 1,000 mm). The bench machine with underframe offers X 150/200/250, Y 100/150/200, Z 50/100/150 mm; special sizes on customer request.
What connections does the integration module need in a line?
230 V, 50 Hz, 800 VA electrical supply and 4–6 bar compressed air for a pneumatic Z axis. Control is the NR 4001 (max. 4 axes), software is WinCamPro on Windows; thanks to the cross-slide design no separate feed slide is needed.
