The XF530p is capable of attaining a depth of 0.4mm from a compact design that weighs 18kg. Technifor said this was one of the technical main issues it had to overcome in the design of the XF530p, as the movements from marking by micro-percussion require a rigid mechanism.
The XF530p has a marking field of 200mm x 50mm and can mark a huge variety of text, logos, dates, variables and Data Matrix codes. The marking can be done on the flat, at angles or on radial curves, and with different types of font characters (continuous line, separated marks, or standard 5 x 7 fonts). The adjustable positioning stand means it can work just as well on tubes and shapes as it can on smooth surfaces.
It is also designed to be ergonomic, with marking release buttons positioned on the control handle to facilitate good positioning during marking. Its remote control unit, the UC500, is designed for use throughout the world comprising an interface in 19 languages, managing 14 types of keypad and using a universal power supply that operates between 90 and 250 volts. The integrated monitoring software is also very user-friendly, ensuring fast creation of marking information. A large backlit screen allows quick sight of any marking in progress.
The XF530p allows numerous interface connections (RS232, Ethernet and 8E/4S) to establish a link with information networks and/or in-house tracking systems. A simple USB key can import or export numbers, logos and historic documents. Its memory capacity has been upgraded to handle 1000 marking documents. Numerous accessories are available: 3m, 6m, 10m and 15m power leads, cable equalising systems, measurement positioning stands, disk drive code bars and DataMatrix code drives.
