Cable harness manufacturers invest hours of skilled manual labour to provide compact cable harnesses customers can
assemble in larger machines, vehicles and electronics. Labour, resources and time are managed very carefully to remain
competitive. The cable harness labelling process is no exception.
Challenge: An efficient, flexible cable harness labelling solution
A cable harness manufacturer faced inefficiencies and frustration linked to their labelling process. Labels and sleeves were not
always printed right, printing was slow, and changing label materials was avoided as much as possible to prevent additional
waste and time loss. The company clearly needed a more efficient and flexible label and sleeve printing solution to identify
terminals, connector housings, cables and wires in a range of thicknesses, in-line with varying specifications from customers in
different industries.
Solution: No-waste, reliable cable harness labelling
Brady Corporation has the perfect identification solution for cable harness manufacturers. It includes the BradyPrinter i5300
Industrial Label Printer, reliable and tested label and sleeve materials, and intuitive Brady Workstation label design apps.
The BradyPrinter i5300 Industrial Label Printer can print precisely and extremely
fast on a wide range of reliable label materials. It prints all of them right from the
first label with zero waste, thanks to a smart chip in every easy-to-load label
consumable that automatically initiates the perfect calibration and printer set-up.
With the BradyPrinter i5300, users can load a new consumable and have their first
labels printed within 20 seconds without any manual sensor, heat or print speed
adjustments. In addition, the printer features a solid design that is perfectly fit for
industrial contexts, and it is easy to integrate in most existing workflows.
Label materials that can be printed with the BradyPrinter i5300 include wire labels,
wire sleeves, panel component labels, raised panel labels, panel rating plates and
arc flash warning labels. Every label material has been designed and tested and is
offered on error-proof drop-lock-print rolls and ink ribbon cartridge designs that can
only be loaded in the right way.
Designing cable harness labels up to customer specification is easy with Brady
Workstation label design apps, which work seamlessly with the BradyPrinter i5300.
Label designs can be ready in just a couple of clicks, label data can be imported
from existing databases, and users will even be alerted if a label design does not
match the label material currently loaded in the BradyPrinter i5300.
