Tag printer boasts new features

23 July 2008 Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services

Grafoplast has added a number of features to its S12K thermal printer, aimed at enhancing its automatic printing capabilities of cable marking tags.

The new S12KSYS2 system's improved universal feeder increases productivity and reliability with the addition of automatic printing of terminal block tags and of 10 mm wire-marking tags without sleeves - these tags encircle the cable, thus sleeves are not necessary. The new card store and support plate allows double the number of printing backbones to be inserted, increasing productivity.

It is possible to upgrade existing systems, as no hardware or software modifications need be made, by simply purchasing the card store and plate for automatic cable tag printing.

The S12K range of thermal matrix printers from Grafoplast are high speed systems for high quality printing on a wide selection of materials and options on printing areas, material dimensions and thicknesses and in various printing fonts. There is also a large range of locally made tags, in all sizes, manufactured to VO according to UL-94.
