Automated identification with the THERMOMARK E SERIES modular system

Automated identification

The THERMOMARK E SERIES ensures greater efficiency in control cabinet manufacturing: Comprising a thermal transfer roll printer and applicators, the modular system prints labels and applies them to cables and wires in an automated manner. The THERMOMARK E.VARIO also marks terminal markers in continuous format and cuts them individually to the appropriate pitch. The combination of these process steps results in time savings of around 60%.
