Model 80H and 80P Numbering Head


The Model 80 differs from the Model 70 by offering a one wheel quick-change feature that is ideal for low volume consecutive numbering. The quick-change feature enables the operator to quickly change the last character in the character sequence.

Description

Operation
The unit wheel is easily changed by rotating the knob on the right side of the frame. The unit wheel is indexed for direct sight reading, thus simplifying character selection. The other wheels are changed by using the convenient spanner wrench. These wheels do not need to be changed frequently; for example, the tens wheel only needs changing every ten numbers with the spanner wrench.

Construction & Parts
The innovative design of the machine guarantees consistently uniform character alignment and depth of impression. Multiple wheels are held in position by retaining pawls and retaining pawls springs. A retaining pawl seats the index plate on each of the one-piece wheels. The wheels are engraved for accuracy, strength and alignment. Crafted from high grade tool steel, they are precision heat treated for severe usage and long life. Unlike less rugged designs of other manufacturers, we optimize our frame designs to be compatible with the number of wheels desired by increasing the frame and leg widths. All 1/8″ machines have two knobs, whereas 5/32″ and larger machines have one knob and are constructed using larger diameter wheels, wheel shafts and frames. Hand shank frames are constructed of heat-treated high-grade alloy steel to resist chipping. The hand shank is vinyl coated to absorb shock during the marking operation when the shank is struck with a hammer blow.

Compatibility
The Model 80P can be adapted to virtually any press. Our standard shank is 1″ diameter x 1-1/4″ or 2″ long. We offer a standard dovetail shank to fit our hand and power presses or Model 116 Dovetail Adapter. We can make custom round or rectangular shanks. We can omit the shank and provide tapped mounting holes or install a custom designed adapter. We also can leave the top flat so the customer can drill and tap or mount an adapter.
