Multi4 Bench (Standard & Autosense)

The Technomark Multi4 Bench is available in both Standard and Autosense variations, providing high-speed, high-precision controlled marking ideal for alphanumeric data, symbols, logos, graphics, and data matrix (2D barcodes). It is perfect for marking small to medium-sized parts in a fixed position and is user-friendly, allowing easy setup of marking files with icon-based navigation, where most features are accessible directly from the home screen. 

The Multi4 Bench offers high precision with an X/Y cross table design, ensuring consistent quality and depth over the entire window, which is particularly advantageous for data matrix codes. Its robust build features aluminium cast parts and a durable lead screw mechanism.

The device incorporates patented IDI technology for marking on uneven surfaces or components with height variations, and includes a fast vertical height adjustment with a quick-release mechanism and fine control.

The system is quiet, utilising electromagnetic technology, and comes with useful accessories such as a Rotary D axis, automatic nameplate feeder, Ethernet, cycle start pedal, nameplate holder, and 4th axis management.

The Multi4 Bench Autosense variation enhances the standard model with the ability to detect the marking face and automatically set the correct stylus offset, meeting aerospace standards for 2D barcode marking. It features a powered and programmable Z-axis, eliminating the need for manual column adjustments, and includes a 4th axis option for easy marking of cylindrical items. It is available with two marking window sizes: 50 x 60mm or 120 x 60mm.
