Self-laminating
labels (SB) from Tyco Electronics (Harrisburg, PA), a business segment
of Tyco International Ltd., can mark and identify wires and cables used
in most
applications. The labels use thermal transfer technology for
marking, employing a translucent vinyl film substrate with a permanent
acrylic adhesive. The labels are supplied with a white printable area
that is over-laminated upon application with the translucent portion of
the label. The labels are used in a range of electrical and electronic
application, as well as in factory automation and communications
equipment.
The
self-lamination of the labels protects the printed area from exposure
to oil, solvents, water and abrasion. The labels conform to round,
irregular or flexible surface and are suitable for use in applications
where the cable or wire is flexed repeatedly. For added application
flexibility, labels can be flagged around a wire compared to
traditional wrapping.
SB self-laminating labels have a typical shelf life of two years and a service temperature of -40 to 82°C. The minimum application temperature is 10°C.
These labels can be imprinted with the T308S or T312M thermal printers.
Thermal transfer ribbons from Tyco Electronics are recommended.

The
RO06plus oven from ESSEMTEC (Glassboro, NJ) offers the new possibility
to run test cycles with a duration of up to 18 hours. This function is
mainly used in the area of
component or material testing, for special curing applications or for
burn-in in temperature ranges up to 300° C.
The
oven also offers the possiblity to solder printed circuit boards (PCBs)
with standard or lead-free pastes. The integrated full convection
chamber ensures low delta-t values and narrow process windows. The
compact design allows oven use even in narrow locations like
development or testing laboratories.
The
motorized drawer moves the parts or PCBs automatically into the heating
chamber as soon as the programmed base temperature is reached. After
finishing the temperature cylces, the automatic drawer system moves the
pieces out into an integrated cooling zone.
An additional N2 connection with integrated flow meter allows oven operation with an inert atmosphere.
Software
records temperature profiles of the parts/PCBs, as well as the oven
temperature itself, in real time. Protocols from the software can be
saved, printed and compared with original profiles.
