IMPACT, benchtop dot peen marking station.
- Touch & Mark
The large colour 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. From serialisation, automatic timestamping, counters, duplication control, marking preview, link to a database and marking history the all in one system makes the operator’s life easy and does not require a computer or complicated setup.
- I-Sense
With the motorised Z-axis, it has never been so easy to adjust the Z-axis on the Impact dot peen marking machine. 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 by means of buttons located on the side of the machine.
- Dynamic Dot Control
Creating a perfect result every time the IMPACT features DDC™ (Dynamic Dot Control) (Impact m and eZm) technology which enables automatic adjustment of point density according to the required size and depth of marking. Because of this, your markings are high quality and with high visibility, irrespective of your application. Two adjustment modes available: automatic and manual.

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

From single part markings to small batches the IMPACT is loved for it size and versatility. With a 300mm 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 from automotive, aerospace, medical, and from heavy and light industries, the Impact has become a favorite workstation.

We took all of our experience working within industrial traceability and created the IMPACT a need, where both the marking requirements and the 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.

Applications
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.
