Abstract
A novel, high-speed, efficient, versatile, automatic machine is provided for the marking of parts. A wheeled platform is driven in a reciprocating cycle by a slotted arm and a revolving roller. The platform carries a rotatably mounted mandrel to couple the part to be marked to the reciprocating platform. The platform forces the part across a stationary marking die. Accessories are provided to automatically feed parts onto the platform and to automatically eject marked parts from the platform. Provisions are made to hold the platform stationary while a part is coupled to the mandrel and to guide and stabilize the unmarked part until it is coupled to the mandrel. Components and accessories are positioned for easy access for alignment and set-up.
