The BradyPrinter A8500 is an automatic traceability label printing and application machine for printed circuit boards (PCBs), designed to apply labels at any location on any PCB, whether single boards or multi-panel boards.
With an application speed of just 3 seconds per label, the Brady A8500 automatically prints and applies multiple unique labels to a standard printed circuit board, providing a fast and efficient identification and traceability process for PCB manufacturing.
The BradyPrinter A8500 can position labels anywhere on a PCB with 0.1 mm consistency and accuracy. Labels can be easily positioned on a real image of the printed circuit board, which can be stored for reuse in future production runs.
The machine can also print data from an ERP system on demand onto reliable traceability labels designed to withstand the entire PCB manufacturing process. This allows identification data to remain associated with the board throughout the different production stages.
For easy production-line integration, the Brady A8500 can be connected inline to any PCB manufacturing line with SMEMA compliance. The machine also provides Industry 4.0 connectivity and is OPC UA ready.
Through its connection to the factory control system, information can be transferred by the BradyPrinter A8500, allowing the control system to initiate the next production action. This makes the A8500 a suitable solution for automated and connected PCB manufacturing environments.
