‘Barcodes’

An Electronicstalk guide

Start with the news release Pick-and-place machine for LED placement on PCBs from Europlacer, which we summarised at the time by saying "Blakell Europlacer has launched the dual-gantry Iineo II pick-and-place machine designed for high-speed LED placement on ultra-long printed circuit boards (PCB).". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Aerco supplies cable-marking system from Aerco: "Aerco has announced it is now able to supply Tips (Thermal Identification Printing System) - a computer-generated cable-marking system from Hellermann Tyton.".
 
In August 2009, we covered the news from Adept Scientific - take a look at Adept unveils circuit board and design system which says: "Adept Scientific has announced the release of the Easy-PC Version 13 printed circuit board (PCB) and schematic design system.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Brady, Thermal printer is compact and efficient, as well as Direct thermal printer is rugged and lightweight from Extech Instruments, and Module takes the RF expertise out of ID from Murata Electronics (UK).
