Original Press Release:
Norwood / Kingsley Presents MCM-2005T Programmable Thermal Printing, Measure and Cut System
Applications: tubing and sleeving for the pharmaceutical, electronics, aviation, aerospace and defense industries
March 28, 2006 - Norwood Marking Systems / Kingsley Machine Company introduces the enhanced MCM-2005T, a programmable thermal printing, measure and cut system. The MCM-2005T integrates Norwood's Jaguar II Model 52i thermal transfer printer with Carpenter's Model 42B Compu-Cut® Automatic Measure and Cut system to mark, measure and cut heat shrink sleeving and generic thin wall flexible tubing. Redesigned for ease of operation, the new MCM-2005T improves ergonomics while maintaining superior print quality and cut accuracy.
The enhanced MCM-2005T features a more accessible user interface and a streamlined layout that enable the integrated system to be easily operated from one side. Norwood / Kingsley can equip the MCM-2005T with its optional 55sst Thermal Transfer printer to further ease use with a full color touch screen control and built-in diagnostics.
The programmable MCM-2005T can print multiple lines of fixed and/or variable information directly on sleeving and/or tubing. With a high resolution of 300 dpi (12 dots per mm) and a choice of font styles and sizes, the system can print text and graphics, including logos, and a wide array of two-dimensional or RSS barcodes. Fonts, images and barcodes as well as cut settings can be stored in the system's memory for easy recall to speed set-up and changeover. The ribbon cassette, which holds up to 600 meters (1970 feet), allows for quick change of ribbons/colors.
The versatile MCM-2005T handles the widest assortment of sleeving and tubing to maximize production versatility and reduce the cost of materials. Unlike the other integrated thermal printing and cutting system on the market, which requires the use of tubing and sleeving from only that one manufacturer, Norwood / Kingsley designed the MCM-2005T to mark, measure and cut tubing and sleeving from most manufacturers. This versatility allows customers to purchase supplies from a wide variety of sources, which creates a competitive pricing environment that dramatically reduces the cost of materials. One Norwood / Kingsley customer recently commented that he reduced the cost of consumables by 60% with the new MCM-2005T.
The integrated mark, measure and cut system from Norwood / Kingsley accepts sleeve and tube sizes from 1/8 to 2 inches (3 to 50 mm) in diameter with a maximum 4-inch (100 mm) flat width. With five programmable feed speeds, the standard MCM-2005T achieves an average throughput of 90 two-inch (50 mm) pieces of sleeves or tubes per minute.
