Detailed operating instructions
5.18.3 Marking quality
Impact marking quality includes all settings affecting the impact marking results, which are as follows:
• Travel speed of the marking needle
• Needle frequency (= density of impact marking points)
• Pulse duration of pressurisation (= impact marking depth)
The travel speed is the speed at which the impact marking needle is moved during marking. Due to
the fact that the marking needle is operated at a set needle frequency, the travel speed, together with
the needle frequency, is important for the density of marking points and therefore of great importance
to the image of the marking.
Pulse duration is a measure of the energy by which the marking needle impacts the workpiece and
therefore a measure of the impact marking depth of a specific material.
In order to change the impact marking quality, select ”Marking quality” form the ”Options” menu. This
will open the ”Marking quality” prompts window which will be displayed as follows:

You may now enter the settings for the marking quality as follows:
1.) In steps by setting a suitable value
or
2.) infinitely variable by setting the slide ruler.
