CanCard Marking - CanCard DM411™ 2D DataMatrix Automatic Metal Tag Embosser

The World's Only 2D DataMatrix Code Metal Tag Embosser

The DataMatrix code has become the industry standard for 2D codes because of its ability to survive the harshest industrial environments. When embossed on a metal tag, the DataMatrix code thrives in conditions most other codes fail, even after the tag has endured such processes as heat treating, painting, and sandblasting. CanCard brings this code to the marketplace in a package that is both proven and affordable.

CanCard took its 20 years experience in providing embossers to the automotive, steel fabricator and aerospace industries, and combined it with the revolutionary DataMatrix code to create the DM411 Automatic Tag Embosser. The CanCard DM411 represents a method of producing a permanent mark without going to the expense of adding a laser.

Universal Plate Feeder The universal plate feeder, available on the Cancard DM411, can easily be adapted to accommodate plates of various sizes and shapes. Simply untighten the knob on top of the feeder and adjust the X-Y axis to the desired plate size to be personalized at any moment. It's that easy!	Universal Clamp The internal clamp that holds plates during the embossing process is designed so that variable plate sizes, shapes and thicknesses can be embossed without any adjustment. This means that each of these systems can easily be switched from one personalization job to another without any complex adjustments on behalf of the operator.	Gear Driven Embossing Wheel A new revolutionary gear-driven embossing wheel mechanism not only warrants increased speed, higher precision and reliability over time but also a more silent operation than before. The Cancard DM411 is the fastest and most silent embosser in its category.	Heavy Duty Embossing Mechanism The Cancard DM411 is equipped with a heavy duty embossing mechanism which includes a powerful high torque motor, high percussion embossing arms, hardened drum and special hardened fonts to personalize plates of various materials (steel, iron, aluminium, bronze, etc.) and thicknesses with a very high quality result.

The RS232 port allows all three systems to be operated through an on-line connection to a PC or host computer. Data can also be entered through a keyboard in an off-line mode using the LCD display to view the information being typed.	Large Variety of Embossing Wheels and Font Sizes To accommodate the many different requirements across industries the DM411 can be equipped with a large variety of embossing wheels and font styles. Embossing drum capacity ranges from 60 to 100 character slots and special drums are available for the automotive industry to accommodate specially designed fonts and dual sets of fonts. Standard font sizes range from 0.12" to 0.48" in height and most are available in embossing, debossing and indent. Special fonts and logos can be manufactured upon request.	Side Eject or Fifo Output Stacker The DM411 is usually equipped with a side-eject system with an external plate collection tray. This is particularly suited for those cases where plate sizes and shapes are changed frequently. However, for larger volumes of a specified plate size, an optional FIFO elevator mechanism is available. An optional "unloader full" sensor, which halts machine operation when the FIFO stacker is full of embossed plates, can be delivered on both systems.
