A LITTLE MORE ABOUT... 3D STYLUS

The 3D stylus is a very high amplitude marking tip able to continuously mark
parts with up to 0.62’’ of height variation.
No mechanical adjustment is required, which eleminates the need and cost
for an automated height sensor and marking head movement - making
integration simplier.
The 3D stylus marks high quality 2D DataMatrixTM. Code reading is made
easier thanks to the uniformity and perfect alignment of the dots.

TECHNOLOGICAL FOCUS
-- Dot-peen marking creates rapid and durable marks without stressing the
part
--Patented single-belt technology increases stylus acceleration and reduces
marking time
--Quick reaction solenoid valves
--High-rigidity guide-rails
--Light and sturdy aluminium frame
DOT-PEEN SOLUTION XF510M
ELECTROMAGNETIC

QUALITY AND PRECISION

Designed to meet the most stringent industrial standards, the XF510m range engraves parts with the
highest level of precision and quality. Its unique engineering and high quality components ensures the
perfect alignment of dots and allows perfect repeatability.

VERSATILE
All engraving parameters such as marking force, accuracy and speed can be precisely adjusted, enabling
the XF510m range to be used on materials ranging from soft to hard.

DATAMATRIXTM MARKING
The high performance solenoid, developed for the XF510m range, makes these machines ideal for marking
high precision 2D codes (DataMatrixTM, UID, UDI, QR...) for demanding applications such as aerospace,
defence, medical, nuclear and more.

A LITTLE MORE ABOUT... AUTOMATED Z-AXIS

The motorized Z-axis is programmable to adjust the marking head to the
required position. Automatic height adjustment is also possible thanks to a
sensor fitted on the machine.
In addition, the automated marking head can be mounted in any vertical or
horizontal orientation, greatly simplifying the integration process.
The motorized Z-axis option reduces machine set-up time and guarantees
marking consistency.

TECHNOLOGICAL FOCUS
The electromagnetic technology enables dot-by-dot/indent marking without
the need for compressed air.

Quality engineering and components define the XF510m range:

- Precision ball screws,
- High-accuracy guide-rails,
- Lightweight yet rigid aluminium frame.
XF510R SCRIBING SOLUTION
PNEUMATIC

VIRTUALLY SILENT
High quality engraving with limited noise level. Ideal for marking applications on high resonance parts such
as hollow metal structures and metal sheets.

POWERFUL
High precision linear guide rails and overall robust engineering enable quality engraving with excellent
repeatability. Proven reliability with thousands of units installed worldwide opereating in challenging
environments.

QUALITY
The XF510r range achieves superb engraving depth and visual quality. Marking parameters are adjustable
for the optimal result: speed, resolution, force and positioning. Light marking on plastic or deep engraving
into stainless steel are easily achieved without impacting the part’s integrity.
Coatings on metals such as painting, sandblasting, galvanizing and more can be performed with the
engraving remaining visible.
