Label printer-applicator gets more intricate
Brady has a new arrival to its Label printer-applicator range - the PAM 2300 - equipped with a high precision print head and rotational applicator arm
Label specifically tailored for fibre optic cables
Brady has designed a label specifically tailored to overcome the frustrations of marking delicate fibre optic cables; they adapt easily to the thickness of optic fibres up to 3 mm
This hassle-free printer enables on-demand, just-in-time printing to help manufacturers get the job done.
The new system offers considerable time savings over other printers, according to Timothy Mendez, Senior Technician, Quality Control for Panel Control Systems: "With the old machine it takes probably 10 to 15 minutes to change materials".
"With the new machine, it's about five minutes at the absolute most".
"It's pretty much load the material, close the lid, open the software and you're ready to go".
"Through bi-directional smart cell technology, the printer recognises the correct material and ribbon combination, visually tracks usage levels and adjusts sensor position, providing users with quick access to vital printing information".
"Using Brady's Bradysoft or Labelmark software, the printer automatically adjusts material parameters, print speed and heat settings to reduce set-up time and allow users to print faster than ever before".
"The software also simplifies material change outs and eases operator training".
"We know our customers use a variety of materials in their facilities and deal with the demands of a cross-functional workforce".
"When developing this printing system, Brady wanted to make it simple for customers to switch materials, train their work force, maintain cost efficiencies and provide optimal print integrity", said Nicole Nelson, Brady Product Marketing Manager.
The Brady IP series Printer System, available in 300 or 600DPI, has a straight path to loading media and ribbon.
This eliminates the need to wind and thread material through a complicated series of mechanisms.
Plus, the ribbon spindle is automatically centred, helping to reduce ribbon wrinkle.
The centred sensor with adjustable media grips reduces print drift and improves calibration so customers print exactly what they want the first time.
In addition, automatic self-calibration reduces label and sleeve waste to help consumers cut material costs.
The top-loading design and lightweight construction save work space. Request a free brochure from Brady Lab ...
