Labels warn of water intrusion
Water indicating label material provides clear evidence of water intrusion for control of invalid warranty claims, failure analysis, design assistance and service and repair troubleshooting.
Laser-markable labels are made to survive
A new line of laser-markable labels is designed for use in demanding environments.
Brady's novel 5 x 3.5mm labels housing 2D barcodes are automatically printed, placed and read with accuracy thanks to the company's PAM3000 printer applicator system which is compatible with a full range of barcode readers.
With Brady's micro identification capabilities, contract electronic manufacturers can cut down on expenditure, reduce risk and increase efficiency.
Brady's knowledge and its in-house technology to die cut small labels, allows customers to enjoy the benefits of a cost reduction, in line with the overall board cost.
In addition, development costs are lessened.
The number of products which need to be assessed for any technical issues are also minimised.
Automatic tracking, as opposed to manual tracing, is more rapid, and enables a longer production/work cycle and increased reliability, and, in addition, Brady's micro identification capabilities allow the OEM access to more extensive information.
With each board featuring a unique code, the risks involved are also less.
Each component can now be directly identified, enabling any technical issues resulting from the failure of a complete component line to be easily traced, and the relevant parts replaced.
Production issues are also resolved real time.
Using the company's PAM 3000, labels are very accurately picked and placed from alignment to the board, thereby speeding up the production process.
Brady develops labels to suit a wide range of applications in the electronics environment, including those resistant to high temperatures (up to 400C), resistant to harsh solvents, ESD labels and liners and also using lead free material. Request a free brochure from Brady Lab ...
