  • Patent number: 12558885
    Abstract: A device for providing a marking arranged or arrangeable in a circumferentially closed manner around a prolate object includes: a material interface for receiving a printed product output from a printer; a data interface for communicating with the printer for a providing or arranging of the marking as a communication; at least one actuator, using the printed product output from the printer, for arranging the marking on the object in a circumferentially closed manner or to provide the marking for circumferentially closed arrangement according to the communication with the printer via the data interface; and a memory readable by the printer via the data interface, the memory storing operational data of the providing or arranging.

  • Patent number: 12128696
    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.

  • Publication number: 20240355510
    Abstract: A device for a circumferentially closed arrangement of a printed piece of tubing around a prolate object includes: a guide passage for conveying the piece of tubing along a longitudinal direction thereof and to open piece of tubing during a conveying movement under an effect of flexing forces; and at least one sensor aligned transversely to the longitudinal direction, the at least one sensor detecting an end of the piece of tubing, which end is trailing during the conveying movement, by exposing the at least one sensor, and detecting the prolate object introduced into the piece of tubing, which is opened, along the longitudinal direction against the conveying movement at an exiting of a trailing end by blocking the at least one sensor.

  • Publication number: 20220410587
    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).
