Labelers

[DAWGS]

We do a lot of control work, and build control panels. I am looking to upgrade from our Brady ID Pro Plus labelers. What do you guys recommend? Must be a handheld, rugged, and thermal. Thanks.

For a portable unit, we're happy with the Panduit LS-8 unit.
It does simple wiretags, heatshrink tubing, and terminal strip labels.

FYI: it is too slow to use if you're wiring large control panels. Check with Panduit about a PC-based unit. It would probably be faster

Industrial controls labeler

Industrial controls labeler

Brady TLS-2200.

Thermal Labeler.

Pros-
Highly legibile labels
Many label formats
very easy to work with labels (reduces labor)

We use this labeler for large scale industrial machine control label projects (6,000) labels.

TLS2200 labeler blows the ID Pro out of the water.

Labeler is about $800.00 and the media is pricey also, but this is the best solution we have found to provide legible, highly adhesive, and ease-of-use labels

We use the same labeler. This works great it will allow you to do anything imaginable with labels.

I certainly hope you supply a hard copy of your exploits!!

Thanks for the replies. I was leaning toward the TLS 2200. I think Brady may give me a discount toward a trade in.

We just started using the Sharpmark system, there software is free and you can print all labels out on laser printers.

i used to have a pro, and a pro +, and the slowness of them was
maddening....

i currently have two IDXPERT v2.0 Handheld Labelers and while they
don't have all the functionality of the 2200, they work fine for me...
label quality is excellent, and you can use labelmark plus software
to drive them from your pc, so you can pull labels directly from autocad,
and send them to the printer.... etc.

i got included in brady's customer feedback program, (one of the idexpert's
was a gift for participating) and one of the things they are considering
is oiltight pushbuttons labels you can run thru a 2200, and make operator
labels in the field, on the fly.... i believe that is on the market now, if
that is a consideration. sitting down and talking to two of the engineers
from brady was interesting.... the 2200 is their bread and butter, so
they have more interest in expanding that product line.

the RHINO labelers from dymo are also a choice, but the quality of the labels
isn't as good, IMHO, so i am sticking with the brady stuff... the top rhino
has way more functionality than than the idexpert, but the label quality...:-(

I received our new ID Expert last week, got a free ID pal with it. Also used it on a new panel build. My guys like it, so we will upgrade our pro plus's to the expert when they crapout on us.
