Thermal transfer printer labels do not smear
A thermal transfer printer, which has been designed for fast and easy TIA/EIA-606A compliant labelling, features a high quality thermal transfer print head.
This resulted in a faster installation time and lower installed costs for Abotron.
After testing out competitor offerings, Abotron found the PAT 1M easy to handle, as the ergonomic and lightweight design reduces operator fatigue through accelerating repetitive actions.
The UL listed CA9 EZAIR is a fully automatic and high volume applicator for reel-fed terminals.
Over 400 continuously moulded components can be terminated on a single applicator and the crimp die changeover time is less than one minute, making it quick and easy to change the type of terminal for reduced setup- and downtime.
It is these two features that led to an increase in productivity for Abotron and ultimately lowered installed costs.
