The M7000 Portable Marking Solution
With ProPen's M7000 stand-alone micro-percussion marking gun, there is finally an easy way to permanently mark parts of all types and even hard-to-reach parts. The M7000 also excels by its marking performance and unparalleled ease of use, in particular thanks to its built-in touch screen.
Marketed under the ProPen brand, the M7000 is the most easily portable marking gun on the market. It uses micro-percussion technology to indelibly mark text, logos, timestamps and even 2D codes on parts – even those that are heavy, large, flat or curved – for accurate traceability. The M7000 thus offers a wealth of added value to industries that, until recently, have had to make do with less practical, less durable and slower marking systems, such as labels, inkjet printing and stamps. Oil and gas, shipbuilding, railway, special vehicles, machine-tools and electrical or military equipment are just a few industries that will find the M7000 particularly advantageous.Goes where you go
Unlike other systems, the M7000 is an all-in-one solution. The marking unit, controller and control interface are housed together in a single, compact system. No external PC, software or keyboard are necessary. As a result, it is completely autonomous and easy to carry from place to place. Another unique advantage to the M7000 is its waist-mounted Li-ion battery pack that affords unrestricted mobility.
Unrivalled marking performance
Offering a marking depth that is unique in its class, the M7000 accurately and indelibly marks parts of all types and materials ranging from plastics to the toughest metals. It is perfectly suited to marking rough or treated surfaces (prior to sandblasting, galvanisation, shot-blasting, application of corrosion-resistant paints and other operations) and delivers the level of quality and accuracy required for Data MatrixTM code marking. Its large marking zone (80 × 30 mm) accommodates large characters and a maximum number of applications.
Outstanding ergonomic design and extremely easy operation with Touch and Mark!
The M7000 is also a genuine pleasure to use. Featuring a lightweight, ergonomic design that substantially dampens vibrations and offering excellent stability, the M7000 makes it easy to create high-quality markings on all vertical or sloped surfaces
The M7000 also features a 7" colour screen with an intuitive interface for easy, unassisted programming of markings. The benefits – time savings and less risk of error – are immediate. Developed by Gravotech, the global leader in durable marking technologies, the multilingual P07 software is a simple, proven and tailored solution that enables fonts, logos and marking files to be imported and exported.
The M7000 is supplied ready to use and, as touch screens are becoming a part of everyday life, requires no training. Designed in France with quality components and impact-resistant composite materials, the M7000 withstands even the harshest industrial environments. Lastly, the M7000 offers good value for money: it contains very few wear parts and does not require any consumables or preventive maintenance; the stylus is engineered for long life and can be resharpened; and the entire system benefits from Gravotech's global support network.
