Rotating label for faster cable troubleshooting

Compatible printers include the BBP12, BBP33, BradyPrinter i5100, BradyPrinter i7100, BradyPrinter M611, BMP61 and BMP71. In addition to reliable labels, label design apps and printers, Brady can provide custom identification solutions through a consultative on-site approach.

identification can be of major importance for troubleshooting and helps to avoid time loss or human errors like unplugging the wrong cable. The new rotating label is part of Brady’s reliable, industrial-grade labels for cables and components that stay attached and remain legible long after they are applied. They can be easily designed with Brady Workstation apps to include any text, serial number, barcode, QR code or other data before printing on a Brady printer.

BEING able to identify cables quickly can be of major importance in data centres and other industrial settings. Brady Corporation’s new rotating label enables users to easily rotate a cable label to make its print legible from any angle, in order to increase troubleshooting speed and efficiency. self-laminating rotating label version can increase the speed of cable identification because its print can be read from any angle. The label can be rotated around a cable thanks to a non-adhesive printable zone and a translucent, self-adhesive laminate that is wrapped around a cable. Brady’s new B-427

Rod SB cleaning

▲ ▲ Rod and wire cleaning by SB brushing system

Installed in-line after a simple rod reverse bending descaler, the SB (Smooth-Brush) system removes excess rod scale and rust, converting more than 95 per cent of rod scale into useful micro-abrading rotating pads that provide a white metal clean satin finish, highly regarded in rod dry cleaning applications, H/C and L/C, including 0.98% C, eliminating the need for conventional acid cleaning. Continuously liberated rod scale provides a receptive about 3 to 5-micron bonding site (similar to phosphate crystalline morphology), enhancing lubricant pick up and adherence, enabling powder lubricant to be chemically and mechanically interlocked. This forms a high-performance anti-wear, anti-friction conversion coating that is found to perform comparably to or better than zinc phosphate. Rod SB cleaning is used in the most demanding wire drawing applications, including spring wire, plating wire, galvanised wire, PC strand wire, Al clad wire, cold-heading wire, CO 2 welding wire, etc. Decalub – France Website : www.decalub.com
