The higher the level of automation, the more complex the structure of a control cabinet. This means it is more important than ever for installed components to be properly labelled. The internal arrangement of a cabinet must be absolutely clear for servicing purposes: it is without a doubt that a high-quality marking system has become a significant safety feature for the cabinet infrastructure.
Weidmuller’s MultiMark solution is a marker system which perfectly meets today’s requirements in conjunction with tailored software and amazingly efficient printer technology. It is quick and reliable to use and allows seamless implementation of virtually all labels. It proves extremely economical, even for small and medium-sized projects.
Whether modular terminal blocks, wires or devices: the MultiMark product family includes practical markers for all areas of use. Incorporating the new high-speed THM MMP thermotransfer printer makes it really economical, especially for small and medium print volumes. And the quality is excellent: all markings are very legible and resistant to external influences.
Indeed, with its new MultiMark marking system, Weidmüller is offering convincing and economical marking solutions for the control cabinet in machinery and plant engineering. Generally speaking, as already mentioned, the complexity of connectivity is on the rise, as is the need for systematic and fast identification in the control cabinet. Marking is a basic prerequisite if built-in components are to be identified properly. During a service, the control cabinet’s internal arrangement must be ascertainable within a very short space of time. And that’s why the marking system used is now often one of the key factors for consideration. Coordinated systems that combine printers and modular terminal block, conductor, cable and device markers are ideal.
Weidmüller has developed such a smart “all-in-one system” for specialist electrical companies, servicing and maintenance. The MultiMark marking solution combines the THM MMP thermal transfer printer and modular terminal block, conductor, cable and device markers within a single sophisticated concept. MultiMark is a system of markers that perfectly caters to both current and future requirements with the precisely coordinated M-Print® PRO software and printer technology and that proves to be extremely economical for both small and medium project sizes.
The Dekafix and WS modular terminal block markers in the MultiMark system are designed as continuous strips and are synonymous with quick and safe snap-on compatibility in the composite material. With the Dekafix and WS ranges, users quickly get printable and installable markers that are highly resistant to both vibrations and shock. The marking process is simple and efficient. All you have to do is place the continuous strip’s first marker in the first modular terminal block’s marking channel. Then, move your thumb along the continuous marker towards the end of the terminal strip and the terminal strip is marked in next to no time. In the case of the MultiMark modular terminal block markers, the clever composite material ensures perfect usage and handling.
The hard, solid plastic base ensures that the marker can be reliably snapped into place, while an elastic outer material that is very easy to grip makes installation easier. With an output of 250 Dekafix markers per minute, the system meets the most ambitious of requirements. The modular terminal block markers are coordinated to the modular terminal block families from Weidmüller and achieve both a firm grip and durable printing quality. The MultiMark system also includes the TM-I, WM and SFX conductor and cable markers and the SM, CC, ESG and EL device markers.
Product advantages at a glance:
Non-application-specific assignment
MultiMark device markers are geared towards non-manufacturer-specific marking. They ensure that all components are clearly assigned in a wide range of applications.
Print markers – cleverly and economically
The THM MMP thermotransfer printer delivers intelligent cutting and perforation option processes, markers and labels from the MultiMark range, as well as continuous materials, textile and polyester labels, and PLC labels. Of special note is that it can print heat shrink sleeving along with all the other marking variants. Its intuitive operation, compact design and weight of just 3.5 kg mean it can be used anywhere.
Optimum visible connections
Our TM-I and WM conductor markers and SFX cable markers, along with both endless and pre-cut heatshrink tubing for clear labelling of conductors and cables, allow different circuits to be identified without doubt. The range is perfectly tailored to all normal conductor labelling functions.
Connector markers for efficient labelling
MultiMark terminal markers use an innovative composite material consisting of two components. The hard footprint of the marker slots safely into place and the elastic surface finish makes the marker easy to mount. The strip is expandable and tolerates some fluctuation in spacing.
