NGT Thermal Transfer Printer

Norwood Marking Systems offers NGT large format thermal transfer printers/Allen coding systems. Norwood/Allen?s NGT 8 C printers achieve a print up to 8.4 inches (213 mm) wide and 19.68 inches (500 mm) long ? the largest print area of any thermal transfer coder in the world ? at speeds up to 9.8 inches (250 mm) per second. The NGT printers are manufactured in Germany by Norwood/Allen?s distributor, AC Codierger?te GmbH. Robust components and superior mechanics create reliable printers that maximise throughput by reducing unplanned downtime. The frame pivots to provide easy access for adjustments and maintenance. The company, a division of Illinois Tool Works, has been at the forefront of innovation since developing the world?s first hot stamp imprinters for the food industry over 45 years ago. Application example: Whelen Engineering, a leading manufacturer of beacons and sirens for emergency vehicles, stays competitive in a world market by using technology to reduce operating costs while maintaining the highest product quality. Recently, Whelen searched for an inline printer that could print installation instructions directly onto packages to eliminate the need to insert separate instruction sheets. They selected NGT printers to print assembly and installation instructions as well as the product description, barcode and date directly onto packages inline at the bagging station. The printers are connected to the company?s plant-wide network, where the instructions are saved as image files and automatically combined with the other elements by Teklyx? Sentinel? software.
