Automatic Plate Feeding

Automatic Plate Feeding (APF) is a world first, cost-effective, precise engraving technique for batches of machine plates, tags and ID plates. It is an easy-to-install accessory that works with CO2 laser and rotary engraving technology (LS100, M40DV & IS400.) The APF feeds tags into the engraver automatically and no operator intervention is required. It holds up to 195 plates in one go, with maximum dimensions of 120 x 100 mm. APF is ideal for use in a high-volume production environment. APF is a cost effective solution. It is easily installed via simple hardware and a Plug-and-Play I/O Cable. There is no need for air or lubrication when processing stacks of plates. The back pressure from the magazine moves the unmarked tags into position for engraving and ejects the marked parts for easy collection. It interfaces with GravoStyle5 or LaserStyle software packages so there is practically no learning curve prior to use. In a production environment this accessory is a must for cost effective processing. The Gravograph plate feeder accessory (APF) works with both carbon-di-oxide laser and rotary technology as an add-on: it is fully compatible with our LS100, IS400 and M40 Deep Vice engravers. Loaded in a magazine, tags or plates up to 120 x 100 mm can be automatically fed to the engraver for marking. At the minimum thickness stacks of identical tags can be processed in quantities up to 195 at a time.
