With the PrintJet ADVANCED Weidmuller becomes the first company to bring an industrial ink-jet printer to the world market, that as standard, can print markers made of stainless steel, aluminium and polyamide.
The PrintJet ADVANCED has been developed around various customer needs and can be integrated completely into production area processes.
