The M40 is a compact versatile signage engraving machine. Its large engraving area makes it a perfect engraving solution for medium-sized and flat objects. It can engrave a large range of materials such as plastic, glass, wood, metal, and many more!
  • Open structure
    Don’t let your machine decide what you can or can't engrave. The M40 210x305mm engraving area benefits from an open structure that allows larger items to be engraved when needed. Engrave very long plastic signage plates, electrical labels, thin wood beams, golf clubs, swords, irregular-shaped items, and more.
     
  • Engrave glass with the M40
    Gift version The M40 Gift includes an automatic lubricant tank and a rotary device to personalise glasses and bottles. The rotary device can be tilted for conical items. Engrave and personalise any flat or cylindrical items up to 110mm in height.
     
  • Adapted for beginners
    Control and adjust your work with our dedicated GravostyleTM or ABC engraving software thanks to several options. The M40 comes with an auto-centering jig and a laser beam (Point & Shoot) to help you place the item to engrave, while the engraving software automatically picks up its position. The included GravogripTM table firmly holds the item without leftover residue on it.

      Gravograph developed the M40 with the idea to complete the M range with a versatile engraving machine at an affordable price. This machine offers the user full accessibility to engraving objects.

      Based on an innovative “crane-like” mechanical concept, the M40 introduced Gravograph Point and Shoot function to facilitate professional plate engraving, immediately attracting many express engravers. 

      As the M40 is one of the first computer-controlled machines, Gravograph's customers have enjoyed the software's step-by-step guidance, which eliminates most risk of error.
