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.
