High-Speed Wire and Cable Marking Machines

Linx manufactures specialist wire and cable printing machines that are simple to use and minimise total cost of ownership without compromising quality or uptime.

Wire and cable printing requires reliable traceability and product identification across a complex range of product sizes, materials and colours - sometimes in difficult production environments, plus with a range of legislative and customer expectations to meet.

Linx high-speed cable marking machines provide a robust answer to these common requirements. Both continuous inkjet printers and laser coders from Linx are able to print directly on wire/cable, designed especially for reduced maintenance, monitoring & downtime while also offering trouble-free integration with your existing production processes.

Importance of cable and wire marking?

Compliance and identification play a crucial part in marking cable and wire. Correctly marking on labels ensures audit compliance and quality assurance. Many wires must be labelled according to specific standards ensuring safety ad interoperability. Each industry will have other specific requirements with the size of the print, font used and specific information that needs to be included.
