Handheld and Portable Pin Marking: Go to the Part

When the part is too big, too fixed, or too far from a bench, bring the marker to the part instead. Our battery handheld was first to market on Android and iOS. Our Pryor line adds all-day power and closed-loop precision for aerospace-grade work.

M3 Series Battery-Operated Handheld Marker

The M3 Series is Monode’s cordless handheld marker — app-controlled from your own phone or tablet instead of a fragile onboard screen, and running on a standard Makita battery you can swap in seconds.

PortaDot™ 60-30 Touch

Same rugged 60mm x 30mm marking system as the PD6030 Connect, but controlled through a 5.7″ touchscreen built into the marking head itself — create, edit, and save layouts without a phone or separate controller.

PortaDot™ 50-25E

A lightweight, mains-powered portable dot marker for shops that don’t want to manage batteries or compressed air — the 50mm x 25mm system runs on standard electrical service and stays significantly quieter than pneumatic systems.

PortaDot™ 130-30E

Built for applications the smaller PortaDot systems can’t cover, the 130-30E offers a 130mm x 30mm marking area with flexible stand-off posts and an industrial 10.4″ touchscreen controller — no compressed air required.

PortaDot™ 100-75

The largest and most rugged PortaDot system, with a 100mm x 75mm marking area. Choose the electric 100-75EH for standard depth marking, or the pneumatic 100-75DPH when very deep marking — up to 1.5mm in steel — is required.

Built for the Shop Floor, Not the Office

Create layouts offline, scan barcodes right from the app, mark Data Matrix codes, and push the job to the handheld wirelessly, all from a phone in your hand. Our battery handheld system runs in 12 languages, so whoever's running it on the floor doesn't need to speak the same language as whoever set it up at a desk.
