In industrial manufacturing, permanent, precise and traceable marking is essential. Whether for serial numbers, logos, production dates or QR codes, every component must be clearly and reliably labeled. Fortunately, powerful solutions are available to do just that. In this blog post, we explore four high-performance engraving machines — LW2, LW3, ISx000 and Impact dot peen — provided by AdFortem, official channel partner of Gravotech.

What is industrial engraving?

Industrial engraving is the process of creating permanent markings on materials such as metal, plastic, wood or ceramics. These markings are wear-resistant, chemical-proof and vital for traceability in sectors such as aerospace, automotive, electronics, and medical technology.

LW2 – Compact and powerful for series marking

The LW2 is a compact, plug-and-play laser marking station that emphasizes user-friendliness, safety and productivity.

Key features:

• Ideal for batch or single-part marking

• Supports Fiber, Hybrid, Green laser sources

• Touchscreen interface and automatic door

• Compatible with Lasertrace and Gravostyle™

• Compact design with working space up to 340 x 200 mm

With Class 1 laser safety, quick red pointer positioning and optional accessories like rotary devices and fume extractors, the LW2 is an efficient marking solution delivered and supported by AdFortem.

LW3 – For higher volumes and larger parts

The LW3 takes everything from the LW2 and scales it up. With a maximum marking area of 875 x 300 mm (with ZX bridge), and robust build quality, it’s ready for intensive industrial use.

Benefits of the LW3:

• Compatible with all Gravotech lasers

• Advanced 3D engraving capabilities

• Autofocus and motorized door

• Mark large or multiple parts simultaneously

• Easily integrates with industrial PLC systems

AdFortem can help configure the LW3 to meet your production line's requirements, including large components and automated processes.

ISx000 – Mechanical engraving at industrial scale

The ISx000 series is a CNC-controlled engraving and milling machine, designed for deep engraving, high precision and full-scale production.

What makes it stand out:

• Available in large formats (up to 1220 mm width)

• Supports milling, drilling, 2.5D engraving

• Handles small parts and large batches

• Engraves plastics, metals, precious metals

• Controlled via Gravostyle™ software

Robust, adaptable and powerful, the ISx000 is ideal for tasks like signage, mold making or braille plates. AdFortem provides complete delivery, training and support.

Impact Dot Peen – Rugged direct part marking

The Impact dot peen machine delivers permanent, mechanical markings on metal or plastic via a stylus. No lasers, no material removal — just durable, high-speed marking.

Highlights:

• Standalone operation with 7" touchscreen

• No PC required, intuitive software

• Supports Datamatrix, QR codes

• I-Sense automatic height detection

• Dynamic Dot Control™ for precise dot density

Widely used in automotive, aerospace, tooling and heavy industry, the Impact is a favorite for robust, reliable part identification — and available directly from AdFortem.
