    IS400: A Gravograph customer’s dream comes true

    The unmatched compromise between power and compactness

     

    Replacing the irreplaceable: this has been the Gravograph team challenge back in the 90’ when deciding to replace the VXM, one of our best-selling, yet aging, machine. Focus was set on offering a lightweight industrial machine for small to medium part identification, while keeping the outstanding reliability that made Gravograph machines a worldwide success: the IS400 was born!

    As for the IS400 Volume, it was created to be the perfect engraving machine for Gravograph industrial customers: no more time wasted in switching from flat to cylindrical engraving mode, bulky item engraving capability and high productivity. The Gravograph team took the IS400 and added a motorized fixing system.

    Today, the IS400 and IS400 Volume are widely used in various industries with bulky parts to engrave.
