Panduit launches WrapID automated labelling system for wired identification

Author: Carly Weller

Panduit has introduced the compact semi-automatic, ‘PLA-100/E’ WrapID automatic labelling system, offering significant increases in productivity for medium to high-volume label applications. 

Users can benefit from faster turnaround times of up to three times faster than traditional manual installation and two times faster than leading competing systems. The winding head of the compact system is easy to reach, so that labels can be attached to the line or cable within 12.7 mm of the connectors or terminals. In addition, the label head has a modular design and can be replaced easily and inexpensively during maintenance, and the label position can be realigned at the push of a button.

Improved ergonomics reduce operator fatigue and minimise the risk of repetitive motion injuries. Panduit’s analysis between manual and automated systems shows that the WrapID automated labeling system saves approximately 170 labour hours per 100,000 labels. Compared to competitor automated systems, Panduit’s solution saves approximately 80 man-hours per 100,000 labels against competitor’s systems.

Today, valid cable labeling is an essential part of the documentation in switch cabinet construction, network technology or in the data centre for easier commissioning and maintenance. The new WrapID system, together with Panduit’s high-quality labels and label printers, is designed for large-scale cable harness production. 

Whether for cable assembly, switch cabinet or machine builders or network technicians, the WrapID labelling machine delivers labels which are precisely positioned, and optimally attached ensuring increased quality in reduced timeframes.
