Technifor, Gravotech Group, and ORIDAO are launching the first universal and secure traceability solution. It is the innovative merger of part marking and secure RFID, allowing for the uncompromised tracing of parts throughout their life cycle. This cutting-edge technology is suited for sensitive maintenance processes in the aeronautics, defense, energy and oilfield sectors.

Technifor’s Portable and BenchTop Marking Technology Delivers for All Industries

(Charlotte, NC --August, 2011) When direct part marking requirements are specific and integration needs to be quick and uncomplicated, manufacturers and integrators should consider Technifor’s XF line of compact, durable, easily integrated micro-percussion and scribing solutions.

Thanks to this new casing, the laser marking stations have Class 1 certification, a level of safety ensuring that there is no risk to users. Designed for maximum safety and optimum ergonomics, the LASERTOP has a number of advantages not provided by the competition.

Technifor can offer an electromagnetic micropercussion marking solution for use on all materials. The micro-impacts produced on the material surface using a carbide tipped stylus create a lasting mark, without creating stress or chippings. This new machine is the result of the process to optimise the Technifor range, adding a powerful electromagnet combined with an optimal guide system to produce marking of remarkable precision and quality.

The XF530m brings unmatched depth where permanent marking must be readable after thick protective coatings are applied and survive on products with long service lives in harsh environments.

XF500Zm is a benchtop marking solution with a motorized z-axis and touch sensor to automatically seek and mark various size parts in the marking area. It stands out through its ease of use and the accuracy and quality of marking due to the precise control of its M1Cz stylus and motorized Z-axis. Ideal for single or small batch markings, it is the solution to numerous applications: traceability of batches of parts in a machine shop, marking for aerospace sub-contracting, rework stations in the automotive industry, etc…

The MR7000 is a complete solution for micro percussion marking, Data Matrix™ codes as well as reading Data Matrix™ codes. It provides high-precision marking complying with standards in affect in the aerospace, defence, automotive and other industries.

The new Technifor TF410, 10watt laser marker is a powerful yet economical alternative to the proven TF420 design. Utilizing cutting edge “Fiber Laser” technology, the TF410 is packaged in a small footprint but performs well in a variety of environments. It is ideal for integration into a production line or as a standalone system utilizing our unique and functional LaserTop workstation.

With marking fields of 100 x 80 mm and 200 x 80 mm respectively, the XF510Sp and XF510Dp models further enrich the Technifor range of pneumatic micro-percussion marking machines. They are the fastest in the world in their category, and they can mark up to 10 characters per second, twice as many as the previous generations. They are compact and they feature multiple communications interfaces, which makes them even easier to integrate. The XF510Sp and the XF510Dp provide ideal solutions for precision marking applications in series production: mechanical engineering, motor vehicle manufacture, metalworking, pneumatic components, electronic components, sensors, etc.
