Written by Andy Neat, Product Manager- Marking & Installation
When you think about marking in general, the first thing that springs to mind are the ‘little white tags’ that pop into the sides of terminals to identify them or the small numbers that slide onto a cable that I usually drop down the back of a panel never to be seen again! Three years ago I took the job as a ‘Marking System Specialist’ at Phoenix Contact which in part was due to the new printers and technologies Phoenix Contact were introducing to the marking world.
We have such ground breaking technologies as the Bluemark CLED , which uses UV light to cure ink permanently, and our most popular range the Thermomark Card & Roll, which uses a nice twist on thermal transfer printing to speed up what can be the laborious task of marking up a cabinet or panel.
Among other printers we have here at Phoenix Contact, our goal is to make the panel/cabinet/machine builder’s life a lot easier and we have succeeded in this so far, becoming the company with the biggest industrial marking range in world….but where do we go from here?
