The XF510Cp is said to create markings of higher quality than inkjet systems, while costing less than carbon dioxide lasers.

According to the manufacturer, the unit incorporates backward and forward movements, allowing it to mark parts twice as fast as current machines.

Operators can interact with the compact unit using RS232, USB, and Ethernet connections, as well as an eight-input/four-output card.

The machine can be used with a bundled TO5 piloting software which has icons and pop-up menus. A communication terminal interface indicates the machine’s status such as start marking, cycle end, cycle stop, ready and marking underway.

The metal part marker can be integrated on a production line, used on a rotary table, in an existing unit or as part of an assembly on a robotic or articulated arm. A hand-held version is also available. It marks characters with heights ranging from 0.5 to 49.5mm.

Gravograph is a distributor of Technifor machines in Australia.
