The compact device is suitable for central use in a marking cell as well as for marking directly in the application environment. This enables the efficient and flexible design of workflows and offers a huge advantage, especially in large systems. The thermal transfer printer can mark over 600 marking materials for various areas of application for industrial identification. With the proven thermal transfer printing technology, the identification of terminal blocks, conductors, and cables, as well as devices and systems, is precise and resistant. The standalone printer enables high-quality marking of materials in card and sheet format in less than eight seconds. The Thermomark Prime 2.0 can conveniently create marking solutions for mobile identification directly in the application environment via the integrated Marking system app software. Data is entered easily and intuitively using the printer’s configurable, 7" touch color display. The replaceable and powerful battery, as well as the simple material and ink ribbon change, ensure that the printer is ready for use wherever it is needed. Automatic ink ribbon, magazine, and material detection prevents printing errors. For central use, such as in a marking cell, the Thermomark Prime 2.0 Save a lot of time with Push-X technology The wiring process releases a pretensioned spring, establishing a safe and gastight conductor connection. This means that even the smallest flexible conductors can be connected without using tools. Another major advantage of the new technology is onehand operation. The orange actuating push button, which is clearly marked with an X, indicates by its force-guided position whether a conductor is connected. To release a connected conductor, the actuating push button is then simply returned to its original The new Push-X technology from Phoenix Contact speeds up wiring processes and increases efficiency. The system is suitable for all types of conductors, whether rigid or flexible, with or without ferrules. position using any tool. The spring locks again in the end position and the terminal point is preloaded for the next conductor connection. can be easily controlled and managed using the Phoenix Contact marking software. The software features extensive design options, a clear user interface, and high-performance interfaces for importing data efficiently from E-CAD systems. The Push-X product portfolio includes various feed-through and multi-conductor terminal blocks of the XT terminal blocks with a conductor cross-section of 0.5 to 4 mm² and the XTV terminal blocks with lateral conductor connection and a conductor cross-section of up to 25 mm². The product family is part of the well-known Clipline complete system from Phoenix Contact. This facilitates the use of uniform accessories and, in turn, cuts costs. Switching over to terminal blocks with Push-X connection is quick and easy.
