IMPACT

DOT PEEN STATION
IMPACT: Benchtop dot peen marking machine
The Impact dot peen engraver is a standalone metal engraving machine easy to configure and master. Take your business to the next level, whatever its size and expertise.
  • TOUCH & MARK
    The large color touchscreen and onboard control software make training a thing of the past. The intuitive system allows you to start marking text, logos and 2D codes straight away. Also metal plate engraving makes it the best engraving machine for metal. It makes the operator’s life easy and does not require a computer.
     
  • I-SENSE DOT PEEN MARKING STATION
    The I-Sense function (Impact eZ m) detects the surface of the workpiece, automatically adjusts the height of the Z-axis and starts marking with no intervention on the part of the operator. Several adjustment modes are available: automatic mode (I-Sense), programmable mode and normal mode, which allows manual adjustment.
     
  • DYNAMIC DOT CONTROL
    Obtain a perfect result every time with the IMPACT DDC™ (Dynamic Dot Control, on Impact m and eZ m) feature, a technology which enables automatic adjustment of point density according to the required size and depth of marking.

Plastic Identification

The IMPACT dot peen engraver range, is a small engraving machine that makes it possible to perform high-quality marking on a large number of materials from, metal plate engraving (painted steel, aluminum, brass, iron, steel, raw, and anodized aluminum) to plastics (ABS, PA, PP).

Impact Z axis ideal for small and large parts

From single part markings to small batches the IMPACT is loved for it size and versatility. With a 11.81 in clearance and open architecture traceability on, one of the smallest parts to identification on larger heavier parts are available. No job is too big. Used by automotive, aerospace, medical, and from heavy and light industries, the Impact small engraving machine has become a favorite workstation.

The marking head is raised or lowered using control buttons

We took all of our experience working within industrial traceability and created the IMPACT for maximum flexibility,  when both marking requirements and parts to be marked are constantly changing.

The IMPACT was created to be the all in one, ready to go solution, with usability at the forefront and designed to be opened and ready to start marking immediately.

IMPACT: modern machine, historical robustness

Technifor started to manufacture benchtop dot peen machines 40 years ago

 

Our historical brand Technifor invented dot peen, a new marking technology, only four years after being founded in 1985. The CN machine range was quickly launched following the dot peen invention. These standalone marking machine allowed busy workshops and part manufacturers to easily identify all kinds of small to medium-sized industrial items.

In 2008 Technifor released the XF500 standalone marking machine which inherited from the robust mechanics of the dot-peen “CN” range.

Designed for worshops, this stand-alone marking solution has enabled parts manufacturers to easily identify all kinds of small and medium-sized industrial parts.

At the same time, Propen, a distribution brand of the Gravotech Group, developed the worldwide famous P5000 standalone engraver. When Technifor and Propen joined forces in 2018, the XF500 and P5000 evolved into the IMPACT standalone engraver, a modern, industrial, and robust marking machine, field-proven for the industry.
