Gravograph GravoStyle CAD/CAM software and CNC controllers

Proprietary Gravostyle software pairs intuitive design tools with sophisticated toolpath generation for Gravograph rotary routers and laser stations. The platform optimizes cutting passes, manages feed rates, and prevents tool collisions across complex jobs.

Specialized multi-line engraving fonts for nameplates, dials, and international signage
Automated contour hatching and island pocketing algorithms for efficient material removal
Seamless file import accepting DXF, EPS, PDF, AI, and variable CSV data for batch marking
Direct motion control driving machine controller boards via industrial USB and Ethernet

Gravograph spindles, collets, drive belts, and rotary cutters

To support ongoing reliability of Gravograph machinery, essential mechanical items include high-frequency spindles, collets for 3.175 mm and 4.36 mm tool shanks, timing belts, and One-Cut cutters. These components preserve factory runout limits and cut quality.

Solid carbide One-Cut and Half-Cut routing cutters for plastics, brass, and stainless steel
Diamond drag scrapers and burrs delivering fine detailing on glass and polished metal goods
Precision collets maintaining tight concentricity to eliminate tool runout during engraving
Reinforced axis timing belts and spindle bearings for periodic mechanical overhauls

Gravograph heritage and Gravotech industrial production benchmarks

Founded in 1938 with the development of the compact pantograph by Norbert Schimmel in the United States under the New Hermes name, Gravograph established the global standard for mechanical engraving.

In 2008, Gravograph, Technifor, and Type3 united under the Gravotech banner, joining Brady Corporation in 2024 to expand international manufacturing reach.

Gravograph machinery is manufactured in facilities in France and the United States under stringent engineering standards.

The systems incorporate hardened prismatic guideways, precision ball screws, and high-frequency spindles engineered for continuous operation across mechanical engineering, instrumentation, jewelry marking, and industrial control panel labeling.

Industrial rotary CNC engraving stations series IS400 and IS400 Volume

The Gravograph IS400 CNC router serves as a heavy-duty platform for mechanical engraving, instrument panel machining, and industrial equipment identification.

The 305 by 210 mm table envelope and high-frequency spindle process workpieces made from brass, aluminum, stainless steel, and composite laminates with exceptional edge definition.

The IS400 Volume edition features an open-frame chassis accommodating tall objects and cylindrical housings.

Automatic surface tracking dynamically adjusts spindle depth relative to workpiece contours, ensuring consistent line width and cutting depth across curved plates without manual operator intervention.

Compact desktop mechanical engravers series M20 and M40

Gravograph M20 and M20 X desktop engraving units serve testing labs, workshops, and production lines requiring compact footprints.

The rigid structure sits directly on worktables, while Point and Shoot laser positioning accelerates origin alignment relative to tags, control switches, and small cylindrical housings.

The M40 and M40 Deep Vise platforms offer an expanded 305 by 210 mm working envelope with increased vertical axis travel. The Deep Vise clamping arrangement secures tall workpieces up to 160 mm in height, preventing vibration and displacement during high-speed mechanical milling passes.

Laser cutting and engraving stations series LS100 and LS900

Gravograph LS100, LS100 Ex, and LS900 systems utilize stable CO2 laser sources ranging from 30 to 80 Watts. The equipment executes rapid non-contact engraving and precision vector cutting across acrylics, dual-layer laminates, timber, stamp rubber, and coated metal sheets.

Units feature an enclosed safety housing with particulate exhaust filtration, automatic focal adjustment sensors, and optical interlocks. Sturdy drive belts and precision linear bearings maintain laser beam focus and positional repeatability throughout intensive production runs.

Proprietary GravoStyle CAD and CAM software suite capabilities

The GravoStyle software package provides a dedicated CAD and CAM environment tailored for Gravograph mechanical and laser marking stations. The software embeds extensive typographic collections, including single-line and contour technical fonts matching international engineering drafting standards.

GravoStyle computes optimal pocket clearing paths, coordinates tool changes, and regulates spindle feed speeds.

The program supports direct vector file imports in DXF, EPS, PDF formats and connects with external databases for sequential numbering of equipment rating plates via hardware machine controllers.

Tooling selection protocols for spindles, collets, belts, and cutters

To maintain machining accuracy and clean kerf profiles, Gravograph stations require periodic replacement of wear components. Typical items include air-cooled spindle cartridges, precision collets for 3.175 mm and 4.36 mm tool shanks, axis timing belts, and solid carbide One-Cut routing tools.

For accurate replacement component identification, engineering teams review photos of the manufacturer nameplate, spindle part numbers, and machine serial designations.

This process verifies collet seating dimensions, drive pulley ratios, and optimal cutting edge geometry for target workpiece alloys.
