摘要 |
The invention comprises a printing device for printing markings directly onto insulated round wires, comprising a printing module (1, 2) for printing the marking onto a retransfer film (7) as transfer carrier and a transport device (9, 13, 24) for the retransfer film (7) for transporting into a transfer device for transfer printing of the marking onto the round wires (16). The transfer device comprises two die halves (4, 5) with a plurality of semicircular grooves (3) for wires (16) of different diameters, wherein the lower die half (5) is configured to receive the round wires (16), the upper die half (4) is equipped with a heating means (12), and to enclose the wire (16) with the retransfer film (7) bearing the marking is movable in the direction of the lower die half (5), so that as a result of this movement the two die halves (4, 5) are joined under pressure and heat around the wire (16) to be printed on. The printing device has a commercially available connection to a keyboard-operated computer so that the markings to be printed can be created and configured simply and as required (Figure 2).
