ELECTRIC.IE • The Magazine & Website for the Irish Electrical Industry • 17 Phoenix Contact Modular system for automated industrial identification The modular system consists of standard thermal transfer roll printers that can be combined with four different applicators. The three applicators for conductor and cable marking and one for terminal marking provide exible marking options to meet speci c needs. The Thermomark E.Wire produces a marking solution that can be moved radially and axially, and that is captive due to the weld seam. The Thermomark E.Sleeve applicator processes shrink sleeves in continuous format with a diameter of 0.8 to approx. 12 mm, cuts them individually to the desired length, and opens the printed markers for easy sliding onto conductors and cables. Self-laminating wrap-around labels for all types of cylindrical conductors, cables, and exposed conductive parts are processed using the Thermomark E.Wrap. The Thermomark E.Vario applicator marks entire terminal strips with just two materials in continuous format for high and at marking grooves. Furthermore, the system is suitable for different pitches between 3.5 and 1,000 mm. When used without an applicator, the four Thermomark E.300, E.600, E.300 D, and E.600 D roll printers also process the entire roll material portfolio from Phoenix Contact. The additionally available Thermomark E.Cutter and Thermomark E.Cutter/P cutting and perforating knives can be used for cutting material off the roll to length as well as perforating shrink sleeves for separation. High operating convenience with new connection technology No force or tools are necessary, ensuring a high level of operating convenience. This is made possible by the connection chamber being open in the delivery state. By tapping with the inserted conductor, the preloaded contact spring is triggered even by the smallest flexible conductors, and safe contacting is automatically established. This reduces installation times and enables faster wiring. As with Pushin, a conductor is released by actuating the orange pusher. This opens the connection chamber and tensions the contact spring at the same time. ‒ The new XTV terminal block family is the first product family with the new Push-X connection technology from Phoenix Contact. Compared to the existing Push-in connection technology, Push-X serves all conductor types in direct wiring without exception. The push button always displays the chamber position clearly, regardless of the conductor diameter and orientation of the terminal block. The XTV product range initially is comprised of the three cross-section ranges 6, 10, and 16 mm . The multifunctional properties of feed-through terminal blocks and multiconductor terminal blocks make it possible to use them in various control cabinet applications and in the eld. With testing that goes above and beyond the requirements of the standard, Push-X connection technology can also be used in industries that place high requirements on vibrations, gas tightness, and robustness. Due to the double function shaft, the XTV terminal blocks can be freely combined with the terminal blocks and accessories of the Clipline complete terminal block system. ‒ With the new Thermomark E Series product family, Phoenix Contact is providing a new solution for simple and efficient industrial identification. For the first time, the system automatically combines the printing and application of markings in one process step, thus achieving time savings of 60 percent compared with carrying out the work steps manually.
