該彫刻ヘッド20f、20gは、該制御部CRからの画像信号に対応して彫刻針20hを上下に(Z軸方向)駆動し、その偏倚した深さに該カードCの表面を彫刻する。
【0030】
該彫刻ヘッド20f、20gの原点への復帰移動時等彫刻の必要がない時は、該彫刻上下モータ20dにより上方に持ち上げられる。
【0031】
彫刻の済んだ該カードCは、再び元の定位置に戻り、該搬送用ロボット26と同様な働きにより、吸着され、該彫刻済カード収納マガジン22に運ばれて収納される。
【0032】
一連の作業の中でエラーが発見された時は、該カードCは、該不良カード収納マガジン24内に運ばれて収納される。
【0033】
【発明の効果】
(1)この発明に係る自動連続画像彫刻装置によれば、原画を走査しながら彫刻する公知の画像彫刻装置と異なり、パソコンPCに制御部CRから伝送される画像信号、その他の情報信号等に対応して該彫刻針20hを左右(X軸方向)、前後(Y軸方向)及び上下に(Z軸方向)駆動して彫刻するから、オペレイタによる原画との対照の必要がなくなり、所望磁気カードCに別人の画像及び情報信号のデータが書込、彫刻される誤動作が全くなくなる。
【0034】
(2)カードCの搬送経路を同一平面としたので所要機器を平面上に配置出来、各機器を単独に据付又は取外し可能となり、組立、メインテナンスが容易となり、更に全体配置を直ちに観察出来る。
【0035】
(3)カードCの配置を1直線にしたので、1個の搬送用ロボットで搬送可能となる。
【0036】
(4)所要に応じ、割り込み機能信号をパソコンPCから指示して仕掛かり中の全てのカードの処理を終え、割り込みモードに入いり、所要カードを1枚づつ手差で所定位置に挿入可能となり、該割り込み作業終了後、再び連続運転に戻して、大量彫刻処理の継続が可能となる。
【0037】
(5)カードCを短尺方向に配置するので、自動連続画像彫刻装置を小形化し、カードCの搬送距離が短くなり、従ってその操作が格段に早くなる。

When an interrupt function signal is input from the personal computer PC, processing of all cards in progress is finished, and the interrupt mode is entered. The required cards can be inserted into the predetermined positions manually by one. Therefore, after the interruption work is completed, the continuous operation can be resumed and the mass engraving process can be continued.
[0023]
Operation of the invention
The required number of magnetic cards C before engraving are stored, and the card magazine 10 loaded with the weight 10 a from above is fitted into the magazine 12 a of the card dispenser 12.
[0024]
The magnetic cards C are separated one by one by a signal from the control unit CR, and are conveyed to the read / write unit 14 of the magnetic band of the card C, and the magnetic of the card C is read by the read / write unit 14. The contents of the stripe are read, written, read / written to the card C, and sent to the card positioning unit 16.
[0025]
The card C moves along the guide plate 16c, contacts the back guide plate 16d, and stops at a predetermined position.
[0026]
The horizontal arm 26g is stably moved in the Y-axis direction by the operation of the drive motor 26k of the transfer robot 26, and when it reaches a predetermined position, the solenoid 26j is activated, and the suction cup 26i is attached to the card C. Descent toward.
[0027]
The suction cup 26i sucks the card C by the negative pressure of air and lifts it upward by the solenoid 26j. Then, the horizontal arm 26g carries the card C to the position of the card mounting table 18b and puts the card C in a fixed position. Remove card C.
[0028]
The card mounting table 18b has a groove (not shown) having a negative pressure of air, and firmly holds the card C that has descended by suction.
The card mounting table 18b is moved at a high speed in the X-axis direction (left and right) by the drive motor 18c. During this reciprocation, the longitudinal movement feeding portion 20c feeds the engraving head by one pitch.
[0029]
The engraving heads 20f and 20g drive the engraving needle 20h up and down (Z-axis direction) in response to the image signal from the control unit CR, and engrave the surface of the card C to the biased depth.
[0030]
When engraving is not necessary, such as when the engraving heads 20f and 20g return to the origin, they are lifted upward by the engraving up / down motor 20d.
[0031]
The engraved card C returns to the original fixed position again, is sucked by the same function as the transfer robot 26, and is carried and stored in the engraved card storage magazine 22.
[0032]
When an error is found in a series of operations, the card C is carried and stored in the defective card storage magazine 24.
[0033]
【The invention's effect】
(1) According to the automatic continuous image engraving apparatus according to the present invention, unlike a known image engraving apparatus that engraves while scanning an original image, the image signal transmitted from the control unit CR to the personal computer PC, other information signals, etc. Correspondingly, the engraving needle 20h is engraved by driving left and right (X-axis direction), back and forth (Y-axis direction) and up and down (Z-axis direction), so there is no need to contrast with the original image by the operator, and the desired magnetic card There is no malfunction of writing and engraving another person's image and information signal data into C.
[0034]
(2) Since the transport path of the card C is on the same plane, the required devices can be arranged on the plane, each device can be installed or removed independently, assembly and maintenance are facilitated, and the entire arrangement can be observed immediately.
[0035]
(3) Since the card C is arranged in a straight line, it can be transferred by one transfer robot.
[0036]
(4) If necessary, the interrupt function signal is instructed from the PC to finish the processing of all cards in progress, enter the interrupt mode, and the required cards can be inserted manually into the specified position one by one. After the interrupting operation is completed, the continuous operation is resumed, and the mass engraving process can be continued.
[0037]
(5) Since the card C is arranged in the short direction, the automatic continuous image engraving apparatus is miniaturized, the transport distance of the card C is shortened, and therefore the operation thereof is greatly accelerated.
