Custom engineering capabilities
In-line integration, enclosure creation, large parts: Gravotech adapts its marking and traceability solutions to your industrial needs.
Gravotech supports your project from the earliest stages, drawing on solid experience in automation, mechanics, application studies, and marking integration.
When a standard marking machine does not fully meet the requirements of your process, our teams can assess practical adaptations around existing technologies to help the marking solution fit your industrial environment.
From mechanical adjustments and dedicated accessories to communication, vision, or safety-related integration, our experts work with you to define the most appropriate solution while keeping reliability, maintainability, and project feasibility at the centre of the discussion.

Simplified integration:
support from specification to commissioning
Choosing Gravotech means working with a marking specialist able to manage the entire marking integration process of your project.
Depending on the scope, our teams can assist from the initial feasibility study and marking tests through:
- mechanical definition,
- software and communication interfaces,
- installation,
- commissioning,
- operator training,
- final on-site validation.
When additional adaptation is necessary, our engineers quickly assess what can realistically be modified while maintaining the expected level of performance, safety, serviceability, and agility.
A structured project process to help secure your investment
Every adaptation begins with your actual production requirements. Our teams follow a structured approach to identify the appropriate level of customisation and avoid unnecessary engineering.
| 1- Assessment: review of part, marking and production requirements, environment, safety, and budget. |
|---|---|
| 2- Solution definition: our experts define the most adapted solution and options. |
| 3- Configuration and manufacturing: solution prototyping, construction/modification and assembly. |
| 4- Deployment: installation on-site and configuration of unique solution for final validation. |
International deployment:
local support, global consistency
Gravotech's international helps you develop a solution locally and deploy them across multiple facilities.
Here’s how Gravotech helps you:
- Local project development: work with teams close to the facility for part testing, installation, and production validation.
- Easier duplication: replicate proven configurations at other sites, adapting them to local production requirements.
- Local support: benefit from installation, training, maintenance, and technical assistance close to your production facilities.
The result is a controlled technical baseline that ensures consistent marking, traceability, and operating practices across your plants.

Customisation case studies
Marking and verification in one process
Depending on the application, a reading camera can be associated with an integrable laser system, a Mini-inline configuration, or a laser station such as the LW2 or LW3.
The system can mark a code or text, read it, and return validation information such as an OK/NOK status to the production environment.
This can reduce additional handling and help simplify traceability control within the production cycle.

Adaptations for oversized or unusual parts
Depending on the machine and application, adaptations may include modified work areas, specific openings, lateral access, dedicated support structures, or adjustable tables to accommodate longer, taller, or bulkier components.
For integrated laser applications, alternative architectures such as a Mini-inline concept may also provide a more practical solution than modifying an enclosed workstation.

Enclosures and operator safety
The production environment can require additional protection around the marking process. For mechanical marking, this may include acoustic guarding, access protection, or loading systems intended to limit operator exposure and simplify part handling.
For laser applications, the safety concept may involve an enclosed workstation, dedicated access control, sensors, safety interlocks, or a dedicated laser station such as the LW3.

Dedicated accessories and part tooling
Repeatable marking often depends as much on the way the component is presented as on the marking machine itself.
Gravotech can assess dedicated tooling and accessories such as:
- Pneumatic or mechanical clamping fixtures.
- Part positioning jigs.
- Adapted rotary devices for cylindrical components.
- Motorised positioning axes.
- Dedicated supports, and mounting interfaces.
- Micro-lubrication systems for suitable mechanical marking applications.
- Cameras, sensors, and code-reading devices.
- Customised connectivity or communication interfaces.

An unusual specification? Let us study the application
Some production environments impose constraints that cannot be solved with an off-the-shelf configuration alone.
When that happens, our application and engineering teams can study the technical feasibility of a more specific adaptation: from dedicated tooling or an altered workstation layout to a more extensively integrated marking station.
The starting point is simple, share with us :
- your specifications,
- your parts,
- your production constraints.
The level of customisation will always depend on the application, technical feasibility, safety requirements, expected volumes, and project scope. We will help determine how far an existing solution can be adapted and when a more specific approach is justified.
