IMPACT, industrial dot-peen marking station
- Touch & Mark
The large colour touchscreen and onboard control software make training a thing of the past. The IMPACT marking station intuitive system allows you to start marking text, logos and 2D codes straight away. Our dot-peen marking machine makes the operator’s life easy and does not require a computer.
- I-Sense
Our dot peen engraver 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 of the dot-peen marking are available: automatic mode (I-Sense), programmable mode and normal mode, which allows manual adjustment.
- Dynamic Dot Control
Obtain a perfect result every time with the IMPACT dot-peen marking station DDC™ (Dynamic Dot Control, on Impact m and eZ m) feature, a technology which enables automatic adjustment of point density according to the required size and depth of marking.

The IMPACT benchtop dot-peen marking station range makes it possible to perform precise and high-quality marking on many materials:
- Metal part marking (steel and painted steel, aluminium, brass, iron, steel, raw and anodised aluminium)
- Plastics (ABS, PA, PP).
It is the ideal marking tool for industrial direct part marking.

From single part markings to small batches, the IMPACT benchtop dot-peen marking machine is loved for its size and versatility.
From the traceability of the smallest components to the identification of the heaviest and most voluminous parts, everything is possible thanks to the 300mm clearance and the open structure of the IMPACT industrial marker.
Used in automotive, aerospace, medical, and by heavy and light industries, the IMPACT has become the favourite industrial equipment.

We took all of our experience working within industrial traceability and created the IMPACT marking station to respond to your specific needs, when 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 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.
