Automatic 6-Channel Laser Printing Machine for Heat Shrink Marker Tubes WM-672

Name: Automatic 6-Channel Laser Printing Machine for Heat Shrink Marker Tubes WM-672
Brand: Wiromac
SKU: WM-672

HS Code 8456.11 Tube Φ1.5–Φ40 mm 8,000–12,000 pcs/h (6 ch)

The WM-672 prints wire marker sleeves on six heat shrink tubes at once — a UV laser writes a different legend on each channel while the machine cuts finished markers at 8 to 300 mm (±0.2 mm), full cut or half cut. It accepts tube from Φ1.5 to Φ40 mm and turns out 8,000 – 12,000 printed sleeves per hour with all six channels running at 10 mm segments. Jobs are loaded from Excel wire lists on the host software with a 19-inch monitor; the laser needs no ink or ribbon. Rated 2,000 W on 220 V AC, water-cooled, 900 × 550 × 1290 mm, 175 kg.

Key features

Six tubes print in parallel under one UV laser head, each channel with its own legend — one machine keeps pace with a whole panel-wiring team
UV laser marking is water- and oil-resistant and stays legible after shrinking, with no ribbon or ink cartridge to restock — the running cost of consumables is zero
Adjustable positioning jigs re-set the channels for roughly forty tube sizes across Φ1.5 – Φ40 mm, and print on white, red, blue and other tube colors
Import the wire list straight from Excel on the host software; per-channel content, stored job files and recall for repeat orders come standard

What it processes

Printed heat shrink marker sleeves for switchgear, control panels and distribution boards, produced per wire list
Wire harness plants that label conductors with numbered sleeve markers in production volume
Electrical contractors and panel builders preparing sleeve marker kits for site wiring crews

Suited for: high-volume production of printed wire marker sleeves — shops that consume numbered heat shrink markers by the thousand and want them printed, cut and sequenced from an Excel wire list without buying ribbon or ink. Not suited for: plain cut-to-length tube without printing — the WM-565N heat shrink tube cutting machine cuts unmarked tube up to Φ38 mm far faster and simpler — nor marking and shrinking the sleeve directly on the wire end one piece at a time; that workflow belongs to the WM-669 inserting, marking and shrinking machine. Shrinking the finished markers onto conductors afterwards is a separate step — see the heat shrink processing machines.

Marker tube brands differ in wall, surface and laser response, so we prove yours first: send a reel of your tube with a short wire list, and we run it on this machine and send you the print quality and speed on video before you commit.

WM-672 — common questions

How is content assigned when six channels run at once?

Each of the six channels carries its own legend — the host software takes an Excel wire list and distributes entries across channels, so one pass produces six different marker sequences side by side. Channel count is freely adjustable from 1 to 6, and job files are stored on the machine for repeat orders.

Will the printed mark survive shrinking and handling?

The UV laser writes the legend into the tube surface rather than laying ink on top, so it resists water, oil and abrasion and stays readable after the sleeve is shrunk onto the wire. There is no ribbon or ink involved, which also removes the per-meter consumable cost of thermal-transfer tube printers.

What tube sizes and colors does it take?

Standard tooling covers heat shrink tube from Φ1.5 to Φ40 mm; the channel positioning jigs adjust to suit roughly forty tube sizes. Besides white tube it prints on colored sleeves such as red and blue. Send us samples of your tube — we print your actual wire list on this machine and send the video before you order.

What is the real output per hour?

With all six channels running 10 mm segments the machine produces 8,000 to 12,000 printed and cut markers per hour. Longer segments or denser print content lower the rate, since throughput follows the laser writing time — tell us your typical marker length and characters and we will quote a realistic figure for your job.
