Print View 1400 will freeze an image of a product as it is being printed and display the image on a remote monitor, enabling the operator to easily verify print quality. The Print View can include OCR software to warn when the printer is producing scrap. Taymer has also been producing hot foil printers for durable marking on PE, HDPE, XLPE, nylon and Teflon, offering bright, high contrast white printing on dark cable jackets. The printer produces highly accurate length measurement and sequential numbering, and is simple to operate and change printing colours. Taymer designs and manufactures contact length measurement systems, including The Length Rite 1200, for improved productivity and cost saving through 0.05% length measurement accuracy.

The hand feed cold formers are a solution to the industry for production of small and medium size batches (500 to 15,000 pieces) of headed, collared or extruded parts. The machines are believed most suitable for long parts or parts that require long strokes. The gripper dies are mounted in an independent block that is lifted by a pneumatic cylinder and easily slides out of the machine, enabling a changeover to be performed in minutes. An easily accessible nut at the back part of the machine adjusts the stroke. The machine is designed with a slim body that enables feeding of pre- bent parts either from the front or from the side.
