How are you proceeding with the identification and marking of wiring?

Conclusion: By following these six steps, you can determine which tubes to use and how to process them.

Based on our past proposals, we will introduce the basic information required for considering wiring identification in STEP 1 to 6 below.

STEP 1 Check the diameter of the target wire

The compatible diameter of general marker tubes is approximately 2φ to 6φ.
This is subject to the specifications of the printing machine used.
We use computerized marking machines to engrave any characters you like on diameters from 2mm to 20mm.
For tubes over 20φ, we can handle up to 50φ by using a foil stamping machine.
(Up to seven characters can be printed, including letters, numbers, and letters. Anything other than that will require a mold to be created, which will cost 30,000 to 50,000 yen.)

STEP 2 Check the maximum width of the insertion point (whether or not to insert later)

If a crimp terminal or connector is already attached, there may be a difference in level between the insertion point and the point where the mark tube is actually attached.

Countermeasures: 1) Flat tube

2) Heat-shrink tubing

3) Marking tie/circle tag

We select products that can be retrofitted or have a maximum and minimum effective width.

If there are no particular steps, a regular round tube will work fine.

STEP 3: Check the need to address environmentally hazardous substances

For equipment and wiring inside panels exported to Europe and North America, you may be required to select components that comply with ROHS 2 standards for environmentally hazardous substances.

All of our marking materials comply with ROHS2.
If halogen-free materials are required, please select non-halogen tubes.

STEP 4 Select the print color and tube color

Regular marker tubes are white in color.
Red, blue, yellow, and other colors of heat shrink tubing may be used for insulating coating.
By printing on these colored heat shrink tubing,
This single product can cover three functions: color coding, wiring destination identification, and crimping section insulation.

STEP 5 Check the printed content

If the printing content is general, such as sequential numbers (1, 2, 3, etc.) or U/V/W, you can write it in with a felt-tip pen.
You can also use commercially available products.
In wiring for equipment (used for production numbers for specific customers) and plant facilities, the number of characters printed is
It can be as long as 30 characters.
It is possible to print multiple characters like this.
The tube can be as long as 50mm or 100mm depending on the number of characters.
In such cases, print on the tube and secure both ends with cable ties.
There are also cases where it is retrofitted.
We can also create molds to print things other than letters, such as specified logos.
It is widely used for inventory management of leased products, identification of delivered goods, promotional items, etc.

STEP 6 Examining the cutting condition

When using consecutive numbers, do not separate them, but cut them in half (with a slit large enough to tear them apart by hand).
Using this will improve quantity management and efficiency.

In addition, since our heat shrink tubing is plain, we can print your company name, logo, or specified text on the tubing without cutting it at all, and deliver it in 10m rolls.
Customers can stock and sell the product, or cut it from the reel to any length they like.
