Gravure Printers

Etched printing wheels are employed for ink printing using the gravure method. The rollers are supplied with printing ink either by immersion or by an ink pump system. After removal of any surplus, the ink remains in the etching in the shape of the lettering, which is then either rolled onto the cable directly.

Etched, interchangeable printing discs ensure distinct legend and number marking. Tandem-head machines and modular, interchangeable ink supply systems for extended performance.
