AMS-CB and AMS-H, two series of marker, the heat shrikable sleeves are designed to meet the cable and wire marking needs of manufacturers with high performance requirements. Made from permanent, flame retarded, radiation cross-linked shrinkable polyolefin.
AMS-CB and AMS-H marker are the military grade wire identification sleeves: meet the requirements of AMS-DTL-23053/5 classes 1 and 3.
Either AMS-CB or AMS-H has two expansion ratios, both 2:1 and 3:1 shrink ratios are available, see table 1 to table 4.
AMS-CB and AMS-H are permanent immediately after printing and remain legible even when exposed to abrasion, agressive cleaning solvents and military fuels and oils.
The sleeves meet the mark permanent requirements of SAE AS 81531 before and after shrinking. The 2:1 products provide a thick, rugged sleeve wall and are particularly easy to handle. The lightweight 3:1 products provide extremely fast shrinking and cover a wider range of wire diameters, thus simplifying inventory.
The marker sleeves are designed to be printed by computer-driven heavy duty dot matrix. thermal transfer printers and laser graver printers providing several advantages in terms of reduced error, cycle time and cost.
Supplied in a thin, flatten "cartridge belt" format, the sleeves are held horizontally between two hole-punched polyester strips. This configuration feeds directly from the storage box into a recommended Wolabel printer, Wolabel ribbons should always be used. The "cartridge belt" format provides automatic kitting of marker sleeves in the desired sequence. A standard heat gun with reflector is used to shrink the sleeves onto the wire or cable.
