Product catalog summary
Installation
  • Mounting: Use 3/8-16 by 3” long socket head cap screws for mounting through the cylinder. Ensure a sturdy, level platform for the SLIDE-A-MARK™ marker.
  • Air Requirements: Compressed air is necessary, with a recommended 1/2” shop airline. Operating pressure should be between 25 psi and 100 psi. The airline length between the valve and marker should not exceed 3’. The marker has 3/8” NPT advance and 1/8” retracting air ports.
  • Adjustments: Adjust the regulator on the FRL unit to control marking pressure. Increased pressure results in deeper marks, while decreased pressure results in lighter marks.
  • Rod Orientation: Disconnect all power before adjusting. Loosen the front collar clamp screw to adjust the rod orientation, then re-tighten without over-tightening.
Maintenance
  • Lubrication: Use 10W "light" industrial hydraulic oil in the lubricator bowl, adjusting flow to 1 drop per 30-50 cycles. The Model 451-XX-XX-X-NL is a non-lube system.
  • Air Filter: Regularly check and clean or change the air filter based on environmental conditions. Avoid excess water in the filter bowl.
Pneumatic Controls
  • Double Solenoid Valve: Energize solenoid "A" to advance the marker. De-energize "A" and energize "B" to return and reset.
  • Spring Return Valve: Energize solenoid "A" to advance. De-energize "A" to return and reset after marking.
Suggested Pneumatic Control Diagram

The diagram includes a standard 4-way valve with solenoids "A" and "B", a 1/2” shop air line, and an FRL combo unit connected to the marker.

Model 451 Slide-a-Mark Operation Guide-1

Installation Mounting: Mounting holes are through the cylinder, and the use of 3/8-16 by 3Ô long socket head cap screws is required. The SLIDE-A- MARK marker requires a sturdy, level platform for mounting. ك Air Requirements: Compressed air is required on all SLIDE-A-MARK markers. CMT recommends a 1/2ٔ shop airline. Maximum operating pressure of 100 psi, minimum operating pressure of 25 psi. Please note that the airline length between the valve and marker should not exceed 3. The marker has 3/8Ҕ NPT advance and 1/8 retracting air ports. > ԃ Air Filter: Check and clean /change as required. The frequency of cleaning/changing is dependent on environment and plant air system. Do not allow excess water to fill filter bowl. Adjustments: Increased pressure marks deeper. Decreased pressure marks lighter. To regulate marking pressure, adjust regulator on the FRL (Filter/Regulator/Lubricator unit). Sold separately. Pneumatic Controls à Rod Orientation : All air (and electrical) power should be disconnected before adjusting the rod orientation, as well as any maintenance. The SLIDE-A-MARK rod is keyed to maintain orientation. This radial orientation can be easily adjusted by loosening the front collar clamp screw (451-13). Then rotate the rod to the desired orientation and re-tighten clamp collar. Do not over tighten, or the actuated marker will not fire. ك Electrical Sequence for Double Solenoid Valve: Maintenance To advance marker, energize solenoid "A". To return marker and reset, de-energize solenoid "A" and ENERGIZE solenoid "B". > Electrical Sequence for Spring Return Valve: To advance marker, energize solenoid "A". To return marker and reset, de-energize solenoid "A" after part is marked.

The Model 451-XX-XX-X-NL is a non-lube system and does not require any lubrication. >
