RICHMOND, VA (April 1, 2008) – Weidmuller introduces the MCP Plus Plotter for its line of MultiCard identification marking products. The MCP Plus provides custom printing on MultiCard tags and markers for terminal blocks, wires/cables and other electrical equipment – with virtually no wasted print material.Easy and quick to operate, the compact and lightweight MCP Plus satisfies the needs of low- to medium-volume users who wish to print smaller quantities of markers. Other printing systems often need up to eighteen different frames, which makes these systems needlessly expensive and difficult to handle. With the MCP Plus, the special positioning frame can hold up to five card types at a time, which increases productivity by 25 percent.
Thus, with just two frames, the MCP Plus can effortlessly print on more than 120 possible MultiCards. Additionally, with the MCP-Label positioning frame, the plotter can easily transition from printing custom tags and markers to printing custom paper and polyester labels.The MCP Plus, which hooks up easily by parallel interface or USB to a PC or laptop, comes standard with updated plotter controls via the newest version of Windows-based M-Print Pro software. This software helps optimize the processes for marking electrical equipment by allowing users to design, print and order marking materials simply, professionally and quickly.The MCP Plus features an automated pen activation function, including a depot that allows the storage of the plotter pens directly on the machine.
Special sealing keeps the plotter pens from drying out. The MCP Plus also comes complete with a universal power pack (110VAC/240V, 50-60 Hz), software CD, cables, frame, marking pen and manuals for both the hardware and software.Weidmuller is the leading provider of solutions for the transmission of power, data, and control signals in industrial environments.
