Every MAX Letatwin ferrule printers we sell, with specifications, consumables and the service bench that repairs them. Prices on request — tell us your volume and we will quote the machine that fits it.
The Letatwin is the machine most Indian panel shops learned wire marking on, and the LM-550A is the current generation of it. Thermal transfer onto PVC ferrule tube, heat shrink sleeve, polyester marker tape and ID plate from one machine, with a half-cut that leaves the run joined so a wireman can carry a whole loom of markers to the panel in one strip and tear them off in order.
Letatwin LM-550A2BH/PC
LM-550A2BH/PC
The fastest and most tolerant Letatwin MAX has built. Takes the widest tube range of any model here — 1.5 mm right up to 8.0 mm PVC — holds a quarter of a million characters internally, and runs from four AA cells when there is no socket on site. This is the one to buy if the machine is going to live on a production bench.

Letatwin LM-550A3BH/PC
LM-550A3BH/PC
Mechanically the same machine as the LM-550A2BH with the European keyboard layout and character set. Worth knowing about because imported panels and imported documentation sometimes specify this part number, and the consumables are identical to the A2 — you do not need a separate ribbon stock for it.

Letatwin LM-550E
LM-550E
The volume model in the 550 family. Slower than the 550A at 27.5 mm/sec, and that is the whole difference for most buyers — it prints the same tube, the same shrink sleeve, the same MAX marker tape and the same ID plate, to the same 300 dpi. If the machine is marking a panel a day rather than a panel an hour, the speed is not what you are paying for.

Letatwin LM-390A/PC
LM-390A/PC
Superseded by the LM-550A, and still the single most common ferrule printer on Indian panel floors because they were sold in volume for years and they do not die. We keep printheads, cutters, rollers and ribbon for these. If you have one that has started skipping or cutting through, it is almost always the cutter blade or the platen roller and it is almost always worth repairing.

LM-380E / LM-370E
Earlier Letatwin generations. No longer manufactured, but there are a great many of them still working in Indian switchgear shops. We service them and we hold tube and ribbon for them. Tell us the number on the badge and we will tell you honestly whether a repair is worth it or whether you are better off putting the money into a 550.
