Product catalog summary
Overview: Zeus® is a premium brand by Hommel+Keller, specializing in high-quality marking technology for various industries. This technology is essential for production and supplier tracking, as well as enhancing unique selling propositions.
Marking Systems: The document describes two main marking systems: the Revolving System and the Spring-Return System.
Revolving System:
  • Ideal for large and medium-sized series.
  • Custom marking rolls ensure precision by matching the workpiece diameter.
  • Features include easy handling, fast operation, and economic benefits.
  • Technical specifications involve a roll diameter slightly smaller than the workpiece and multiple revolutions for precision.
Spring-Return System:
  • Flexible for workpieces with varying diameters.
  • Exchangeable marking segments allow quick text changes.
  • Requires higher contact pressure for single-pass impressions.
  • Suitable for small to large series with adaptable text options.
Technical Features and Benefits:
  • Marking rolls are made from material 1.2436 with a hardness of 61-63 HRC.
  • Standard designs include a 90° flank angle and DIN 1451 typeface.
  • Rolls can be easily exchanged, and special characters can be used.
  • Marking direction can be reversed by flipping the roll.
Tool Series: Various tool series such as MC1, MCC1, MR1, and MRS1 are available for different applications, each with specific features for marking different workpiece types and sizes.
Marking Roll Specifications:
  • Marking Roll #42: Designed for multiple workpieces with varying diameters, featuring exchangeable segments and customizable options.
  • Marking Roll #43: Features a spring-return system, versatile for various applications, and capable of high-speed marking.
Zeus® Marking Tools:
  • Tool 130: Designed for large series with user-friendliness and efficiency, suitable for conventional and CNC lathes.
  • Tool 131: Compact solution for variable diameters with a spring-return system, suitable for multiple workpiece diameters.
Technical Features and Applications:
  • Marking rolls are designed for high-speed applications with precise depth and definition.
  • Applications include various materials and lathe types, with specific parameters for speed and feedrate.
  • Tools are designed for easy replacement and adjustment, ensuring process reliability and efficiency.
Efficiency and Cost Effectiveness:
  • Tools ensure consistent text rolling, high accuracy, and 100% reproducibility.
  • Modular product concept supports cost-effective use across various CNC and cam-controlled lathes.
Practical Guidance:
  • Ensure perfect concentricity and precise workpiece diameter for optimal marking results.
  • Standard impression depth is 0.075 mm relative to the radius, with deeper impressions possible under certain conditions.
  • Consider the position of the driving knurl during planning to avoid deformation of weak workpiece parts.
  • The marking roll can be flipped to change the reading direction.
Guidelines for Marking Speed and Feed Rates: Material-specific guidelines are provided for marking speed and feed rates for different materials like steel, stainless steel, brass, and aluminum.
