Automatic labelling is fast and efficient
February 2012
Sensors & Transducers
Brady’s patented range of hardware and consumables overcomes the challenges of automatic label application and is now available in South Africa. Auto-Apply simplifies wire, cable and component marking, including circuit boards, and provides complete automatic labelling and identification that improves productivity by combining the print and apply process into one unit.
The label applicator provides accurate real-time labelling and the in-line verification removes errors. Brady has developed a range of labels specifically for this automatic process that has the advantages of no cutting into the liner, no adhesive bleeding and no label curling. The labels are also able to withstand high temperatures and chemicals to maintain data integrity, correct adhesives ensure permanent sticking even in the harshest environments.
Apart from the obvious benefits of speed and efficiency, the system also ensures 100% traceability with batch and in-line identification, particularly useful for companies who prefer to label components in batches prior to main assembly. Once labelled, the components can be taken to the main production process for full assembly. The system also allows for easy tracking of defective parts, improves manufacturing cycles, streamlines inspection processes and provides consistent quality assurance.
