Method for applying characters to an elongated object

摘要

In a method for applying characters to an elongated object, in particular to cables sheathed with plastic, the object (1) is exposed in a laser inscriber (2) to the beam path of a laser by means of which alphanumeric characters or bar codes are produced on the surface of the objects by programme control. The object (1) can be provided with a permanent coat of paint before being inscribed in an irradiation chamber (3), a colour marker (4) and a displacing unit (5). <IMAGE>
