Abstract: A device for arranging a marking around a prolate object includes: a material interface for receiving a printed product provided by a printer; a printing signal interface for acquiring a control signal indicative of the provision of the printed product; a stop for limiting a longitudinal motion of the prolate object along a longitudinal axis in an end position of the prolate object relative to the device; and at least one actuator for, depending on the control signal indicative of the provision of the printed product, arranging the marking in a circumferentially closed manner on the prolate object using the printed product provided by the printer. The prolate object is arranged in the end position.

Abstract: A device for insertion of a prolate object into a piece of tubing opened at least at an end for marking the prolate object includes: a guide corridor for conveying the piece of tubing along a longitudinal direction of the guide corridor, a width of the guide corridor in a transverse direction transverse to the longitudinal direction being controllable as a function of a diameter of the piece of tubing; and a support surface arranged downstream of the guide corridor in a conveying movement at least one position in the longitudinal direction, which support surface aligns the prolate object during insertion into the opened piece of tubing. The support surface includes at least two partial surfaces arranged one behind another in the longitudinal direction and overlapping in the transverse direction for supporting the prolate object during insertion.

Abstract: A device for arranging a marking circumferentially closed around a prolate object, or for providing a marking arrangeable circumferentially closed around a prolate object, includes: a material interface for receiving a print medium printed by a printer as a printed product; a data interface for communicating with the printer for arranging or providing the marking; at least one sensor for acquiring control signals that imply or indicate at least one measurand of the object to be marked, the at least one sensor being in data communication with the data interface; and at least one actuator for arranging the marking on the object in a circumferentially closed manner or providing the marking for circumferentially closed arrangement in accordance with the communication via the data interface and by the printed product output by the printer.

Abstract: A printing system includes: a printer for outputting a printed product; and a device for providing a marking arranged or arrangeable in a closed circumferential manner around a prolate object. The device includes a mechanical interface and the printer includes a mechanical interface, which are positively and/or by force-locking connected in a mounted state and which release the positive and/or force-locked connection by a planar motion, a partial rotation, and/or a current change to a released state. The device further includes: a material interface for receiving printed material output by the printer in the mounted state of the device, and at least one actuator for arranging the marking on the prolate object in a circumferentially closed manner by the printed product output by the printer or for providing the marking for circumferentially closed arrangement in the mounted state of the device.

Abstract: A device (100) for arranging a marking (101) circumferentially closed around a prolate object (102) or for providing a marking (101) arrangeable circumferentially closed around a prolate object (102) is described. The object (102) is preferably a conductor. The device (100) comprises a material interface (156) to receive a printed medium (208) printed by a printer (200) as a printed product (214); a data interface (158) to communicate with the printer (200) to arrange or provide the marking (101); and at least one sensor (106) to acquire control signals that imply or indicate at least one measurand of the object (102) to be marked. The at least one sensor (106) is in data communication with the data interface (158).
