Easy to use and powerful, the XCOM simplifies your marking workflow.  User-friendly interface and navigation, visualization, marking simulation, easy management of parameters and simple launch of the marking make it manageable for any operator. You can identify your parts (text, serial numbers, logo), generate unique codes (Datamatrix, QR codes, UID, GS1) and configure your variables, counters and date codes, all of this with one controller.

Engraving settings management on the XCOM

The XCOM controller is ultra-resistant and has been designed to fit into any environment, even the most demanding. Its waterproof touch screen is made of reinforced glass and its casing is resistant to shocks.

All the XCOM connections

The safety of our machines and the protection of your data are our top priority. XCOM can connect to most field buses and can be controlled by a PLC, to ensure the reliability of the data exchange. This controller is also equipped with a safety module, an extra-security when integrated on a production line.
