Abstract: A machine for marking articles of manufacture such as electronic components is disclosed. The machine has a plate like frame disclosed generally in a vertical plane. The articles to be marked are supported on a backing strip and a cover strip is attached to the backing strip. The strip assembly is wound on a feed roll supported on the machine and as the strip assembly unwinds from the feed roll the backing strip and components are separated from the cover strip by two spaced rolls. The cover strip then passes around another idler roll to the take-up roll. The backing strip and components pass under a dancer roll and then under a laser where they are marked, then under another dancer roll back to the cover strip where the backing strip and cover strip are joined and re-rolled on a take-up roll. The feed reel and take-up reel are both driven by individual motors and a potentiometer is supported on the back of the machine and the dancer rolls are connected to the potentiometer so that as the motors increase tension on the strip the dancer rolls are lifted moving the movable contact of the potentiometer on it and connecting more resistance into the motor circuit whereby the motors are slowed down and thereby even tension is maintained on the strip as the strip assembly is fed off of the feed reel and wound onto the take-up reel thereby increasing the diameter of the strips rolled on the take-up reel. A micrometer adjustment is provided for adjusting the position of the strip and articles under the laser.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种用于标记诸如电子部件的制品的机器。 机器具有通常在垂直平面上公开的板状框架。 要标记的物品支撑在背衬条上，并且盖带附接到背衬条。 条带组件缠绕在支撑在机器上的进料辊上，并且当条带组件从进料辊展开时，背衬条和部件通过两个间隔开的辊与盖带分离。 盖带然后绕另一个惰辊卷绕到卷取辊。 背衬条和部件通过在浮动辊下面，然后在激光下进行标记，然后在另一个浮动辊下方回到覆盖带，其中背衬条和盖带连接并在卷取辊上重新滚动。 进给卷轴和卷取卷轴均由单独的马达驱动，电位器支撑在机器的背面，浮动卷轴连接到电位计，因此当马达增加条带上的张力时，浮动卷筒被提升移动 电位计在其上的可动触点，并将更多的电阻连接到电动机电路中，由此电机减速，从而当带组件从馈送卷轴送出并卷绕到卷取卷轴上时，条带上保持了均匀的张力 从而增加卷绕在卷取卷轴上的条带的直径。 提供千分尺调节以调节激光下的条带和物品的位置。

Abstract: Applicant has provided a hopper feed mechanism used to feed articles into other process equipment. The operator feeds the articles into the hopper. Upon actuation, a shuttle blade conveys an article out of the hopper and under a feedwheel. The shuttle blade is movably supported to the fixed frame of the mechanism, and is powered by an air cylinder. The feedwheel is lifted as the article is propeled under the feedwheel and is lowered to feed the article into other process equipment.
