Bar Code Wire Marking

The following information relates to bar code wire marking capabilities of the CAPRIS 60 and CAPRIS 100 UV laser wire markers:

CAPRIS Bar Code Print Characteristics

• Bar code type USS39 (Bar Code 39), full alphanumeric character set
• Narrow bar width (X): 0.22mm (and inter-character gap)
• Wide/Narrow ratio (N): 3
• Maximum data density: 3.0 characters per cm; 7.7 characters per inch
• Maximum number of characters per bar code: 17 ¹
• Check sum enabled as default
• Options for other bar code types available

Wire Types

• Wire colours: predominantly white and pastel ²
• Wire size range: 30 AWG and larger single core wire and multicore cable ²
• Polyimide wires: dispersion coated Teflon (PTFE), ETFE and FEP or Teflon tape wrapped wires.
• Composite wires (TKT/TK) e.g. BMS 13-60, M22759/80 to 92.
• Extruded wires: Teflon (PTFE), Tefzel (ETFE, XLETFE) e.g. BMS 13-48, M22759/32 etc., or FEP.

1: 17 = number of data characters (excluding Start, Stop bit and Checksum character).
2: Suitability of wire and cable for bar coding may vary due to wire colour, outside diameter or surface topology.
