SIC Marking's e1 Controller independently operates and manages this marking machine, meaning no PC is required for operation. Initial setup can be done from a PC using the e1v1 software, while the USB port allows file transfer and marking software updates.

The e1 was ruggedly designed for industrial applications. It contains no openings or ventilation components providing optimal protection of interior electronic components. Thanks to its large aluminum handle, the grip is more comfortable than previous designs. The HD color screen features an integrated graphic display, making it easy to navigate. Using the protected membrane keyboard, programming is simple: the e1 allows for the direct change of settings and marking designs via manual input, or pictogram colors. The controller only weighs 2kg. Coupled with its marking unit, it offers perfect balance for increased mobility and maneuverability.
