Brother International has launched its first
industrial tube printer. Conceptualised
to enhance productivity, the PT-E800T
industrial tube and label printer enables electricians,
distribution board builders, site engineers, server
installation technicians and cable installers to mark
their projects easily and effectively.
The robust PT-E800T prints up to 36 mm wide
TZe laminated labels; up to 17,7 mm heat shrink
tube; as well as direct to tube up to 6 mm high, all
from one compact labelling machine. With fast print
speeds of tube printing at 40 mm per second and
labels at 60mm per second, the PT-E800T allows
print jobs to be completed quickly and easily with an
optional rechargeable battery and base for on-site
use. It can be transported to where electrical work is
in progress and controlled with a laptop. Print is via
a USB connection with the Brother P-touch Editor
software for label printing and the Brother Cable
Label Tool software for tube printing.
Brother is the first company to introduce
industrial tube printers with integrated twin
engines. This innovation allows electricians to
switch between tube and label print modes without
having to remove or reinsert consumables before
printing. Compatible with durable TZe tapes, the
toughest laminated labels in the market, the PT-
E800T accepts labels of up to 36 mm in width,
supporting a wider range of labelling applications.
The PT-E800T further maximises printing options
with the ability to print up to 32 mm on 36 mm
labels, and up to 6 mm on tubes.
With the PT-E800T, electricians can replace
selected components themselves. Tube cutters,
cleaners, and conveyance rollers can be replaced
on-site in a few easy steps. The PT-E800T includes a
free, automatic three-year carry-in warranty against
manufacturer defects.

BROTHER INTRODUCES NEW INDUSTRIAL LABEL AND TUBE PRINTER
FLUKE has launched the Fluke 64 MAX IR
thermometer with internal memory, unattended
monitoring, improved accuracy, increased battery
life, and the precision needed to do the job
accurately. Designed and tested to survive a 3 m
drop, this lightweight, compact infrared thermometer
works in the harshest of environments, even
when unattended. Applications include industrial
maintenance, electrical and HVAC industries.
The Fluke 64 MAX IR features:
• Precise laser technology for more accurate and
repeatable measurements.
• Temperature accuracy of up to ≥ 0 °C: ± 1 °C or
± 1 % of reading, whichever is greater with 20:1
distance to spot ratio (64 MAX).
• Flashlight (64 MAX) and large, easy-to-read
backlit LCD display for easy viewing even in
dark environments.
• IP54 rated for extra protection against airborne
contaminants.
• Set time and desired interval between meas-
urements and Auto Capture will capture spot
temperatures unattended (64 MAX).
• 99 data point logging (64 MAX).
• Displays the minimum, maximum or average
temperature, or the difference between two
measurements.
• Hi and Lo alarms for rapid display of measure-
ments outside set limits.
• The 62 MAX+ has dual rotating lasers to help
identify the area to be measured. The meas-
urement area is the spot between the dots (62
MAX and 64 MAX have one).
