Cable marking can be done in a variety of ways. Hot foil and Inkjet marking are the most popular solutions when using automatic or semi automatic cutting or cutting & stripping machines.

Hot foil cable marking is basically the transfer of a pigment from an impregnated ribbon which is pressed onto the cable, wire or tubing with a heated transfer marking wheel or stamp to create an image.

CST Automation supplies hot foil marking equipment from both Schleuniger and Ulmer GmbH to give the optimum marking solution at the most cost effective price.

Inkjet marking is a faster method of cable marking when working with automatic cable processing equipment, the ink is deposited onto the cable as the cable or wire passes by the end of the print head, saving time on volume production runs.
