APPENDIX C TYPEWHEELS
ENGRAVE STEEL TYPEWHEELS
Typewheels type and fixture must be selected by the outside diameter, not by gauge, of
the wire to be printed. The proper sizing of these items is critical to achieving maximum
efficiency of the printer with minimum of insulation penetration.
All Kingsley typewheels have forty characters (letter A – Z, Numbers 0 – 9 and special
characters: Left arrow, Hyphen, and Blank). Typewheel machines mark one line of type.
Typewheel selection for wire is insulation Outside Diameter dependent. With the VW-026K
wheel offering the broadest operating range. Curves face typewheels are available in
vertical reading (top to bottom) and horizontal reading (left to right) formats.
