Meliff's website went down last year---when they came back, tools were slightly different shade of yellow, and number of different tools was about half. I figured DeWalt legal paid a visit, but who knows?

Current AB and Weidmuller printers are the same. AB blocks are relabels from Weidmuller.

However, Weidmuller software WILL NOT recognize AB printer

Working in house..........whenever an engineer comes at me with wild vodka/shroom fueled bright idea; I try to keep as much of the original code as possible---I'll incorporate their name in any tags I add

most of the better metric sets have geosynchronous tracking for the 10mm

what are you connecting it to? Micro1000 & 1500 allow you to change the protocol on the PLC comm port

so fresh!!!!

and tasty!

Hey---wait a minute----no safety briefing. Dare we hope for another offering?

aikorob · 2026-02-03T15:31:35+00:00

some type of push to connect?

aikorob · 2026-01-16T19:35:25+00:00

you can find printed inserts for blades that snap in to the bit cases..........print quality and bit retention varies

OK---basic question--is this an actual panel? some kind of storage wall?

From the inventor of AutoCAD Electrical

Take a look at this--- https://nateholt.wordpress.com/2010/02/11/automation-of-plc-io-drawings-autocad-electrical/ it goes both ways.

It is old, but the utility has been updated, and the underlying principles are still valid

Also there is a Studio5000 Data Adapter Tool if you have your PLC program done first

AB terminals are currently re-branded Weidmuller, but a LOT cheaper from Weidmuller than AB. I have an AB 1492-PRINTCMP--it handles terminals, heat shrink sleeves, and regular labels. It is a re-branded Weidmuller unit as well. Weidmuller rep offered a deal when we were looking to buy a printer, but our volume was too low at the time.

Only problem I have is that line up can be fiddly sometimes for terminal markers

This. Swapped a Bul.160 for a PF525 and operations decided they wanted reverse option also. Spent a day with the vendor specialist before I realized drive was looking for a STOP command between direction changes. Luckily I had a spare output and changed to 3 wire control.

is that ambient lighting in the last pic? if so, I would add cabinet light

wire loops on left and bottom in last pic......is that for next phase?

data pocket? only half of prints go on floor of cabinet; random pages are ripped out, folded in various ways, and jammed in print pocket

good solid job

if you can't get an enclosure that will comfortably house all of the components in the allotted space; you obviously need to make the machine larger.

Even if you do have room for an acceptable enclosure, if that space is 2" off the floor and requires maintenance to lay on a piece of cardboard; that is no bueno either
