  • Easy handling: Positioning of the marker defined by orientation to the measuring scale
  • For indoor and outdoor applications: High resistance due to protective laminate
  • For cylindrical exposed conductive parts, conductors, and cables

Applicator for terminal markings

Print and cut continuous terminal markers

The THERMOMARK E.VARIO applicator marks entire terminal strips with just two materials in continuous format for high and flat marking grooves. Due to the continuous format, all widths between 3.5 mm and 1,000 mm can be realized – regardless of the number of different pitches.

Main features

  • Processes continuous terminal markers for high and flat marking grooves
  • Any pitches between 3.5 mm and 1,000 mm
  • Punching or perforation in different pitches in accordance with individual requirements

Your benefits

  • Up to 70% time savings when marking in different pitches
  • Only two materials: Marking of the entire terminal strip
  • Innovative geometry: Perfect fixing of the material in the marking groove as well as easy engagement and separation of the individual markers
  • Simple and efficient terminal block marking: Automatic assignment of perforation cuts based on data from the engineering software

Movable cable markers

Marking material for automated processing

The E-WM... marking material is designed for processing with the THERMOMARK E.WIRE applicator. The E.WIRE processes the continuous material into radially and axially movable markers that can be printed on three sides. The welded seam ensures that the marker is captive.

Main features

  • Markers can be moved radially and axially
  • One continuous material for all diameter ranges (1.8 mm to 5.6 mm)
  • Three different widths: 15, 18, and 23 mm
  • Temperature range: -40°C ... 70°C

Your benefits

  • One material for all diameter ranges
  • Good visibility due to three-sided printing and mobility
  • Captive marking thanks to the welded seam
  • Different widths for various installation and marking scenarios
  • For cylindrical exposed conductive parts, single lines, cables, and cable bundles

Shrink sleeves for cable identification

Marking material for automated processing

The E-WMS... shrink sleeve is designed for processing with the THERMOMARK E.SLEEVE applicator. The continuous format allows individual marking lengths. After the printing and application process, there is the option of shrinking the shrink sleeve.

Main features

  • Continuous shrink sleeves for diameters between 0.8 mm and 8.5 mm
  • Individual marking lengths possible from 15 mm to 51 mm
  • Temperature range: -40°C ... 125°C
