Machine plates, Serial plates, UL and CE marking

Type plates come in many shapes and sizes. For each machine, equipment manufacturer and/or supplier it is a mustto make the specific technical data visible. For a professional appearance, service purposes and mandatory certification.

With our professional printing solutions, third-party production is no longer necessary. With a Rebo machine plate printer you can easily and professionally print durable type plates, equipment labels and other object identification.

The printers come standard with:

Microsoft® certified label software (or use your own application)
Installation with instruction
3 years full warranty

Important applications can be:

CE-marking on machines

If marketed or put into service after 1 January 1995 the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC must be fully complied with for all new independently operating machinery, for trade and/or own use. This requirement also applies to second-hand machinery imported from outside the European Economic Area* (EEA), to modified machinery with hazards and risks that differ from the original design and to machinery with a different intended use.

Practical situation:
You are importing machines from Asia, but after your modification the original type plates no longer contain the correct technical data and safety symbols required by the CE directives in the EU.

Consequence:
Your machines won’t be able to leave until this is sorted out!

Solution:
With a Rebo nameplate printer you can easily design and print your personalized nameplate with CE marking on high quality tape materials. Our labelling software also has all NEN-7010 safety symbols that can be made with the same printer in the correct language in combination with your specific instruction. Simply change the materials and start printing!

Recommended material: PT700 Matt Alu & Semi Gloss Alu Polyester with high adhesion.

CE-marking for steel constructi

Practical example: From 1 July 2014, all components of a load-bearing steel structure must bear CE marking in accordance with the NEN-EN 1090 directives.

Consequence: Indeed, a construction product may no longer be placed on the market without the CE marking if a harmonized European standard for the product has been published. This measure imposes high requirements on the traceability of construction elements.

Solution: This traceability requirement requires a high quality label that is scratch resistant, very difficult to remove, and should be UV resistant for years. You can easily meet these requirements by providing your structural parts with our high-tack polyester tapes (in white or aluminum colored version) printed with our SR10 Resin ink ribbon.

Recommended material: PT700 High-tack Gloss Polyester white or aluminum with extreme adhesion.

UL-marking on export items

Practical situation: You want to export industrial control cabinets to the U.S. but your CE mark does not apply here. They must comply with the UL 508A directive. In addition to the fact that your control cabinet must comply with this, it is also required that the label must be UL-certified.

Consequence: Your machines won’t be able to leave until this is sorted out!

Solution: Design your personalized nameplates and print them on our UL-certified white and aluminum polyester tapes.

Recommended material: UL-listed PT700 white or Aluminum coloured polyester.

Rating plates for Refrigeration and Cooling Installations

Practical example: A part of the PED mandatory certification is that on all supplied refrigeration and cooling systems a license plate is mandatorily affixed on which the technical specifications and filling data are stated and, if necessary, an instruction card is placed.

Consequence: If you do not provide the installation with a license plate, it is not PED certified and you are trespassing.

Solution: With a Rebo label printer you can print all installation data and your logo on the scratch-resistant and UV-resistant identification plate in seconds. You also have the possibility to add an instruction card to your license plate or print it out separately.

Recommended material: Sustainable white or Semi-gloss aluminum polyester.

Vehicle construction plates

We advise you to print on our VOID aluminium polyester tape or label that captures all important data in a forgery-proof label. If someone wants to remove the label it will leave the text VOID and the label will not be usable again.

It is then clearly visible that the label has been tampered with, as a result of which a valid construction plate is no longer present.

The owner of the construction is at that moment in violation. You can perfectly print these tapes and labels with one of our recommended special Sign & Label printers.

Ask our advisors for a demonstration!

Recommended material: PV500 Tamper resistant VOID tape | Matt Aluminum polyester with high adhesive strength.

Heavy Duty Identification for the most extreme situation

Practical situation:
You develop machines that are exposed to harsh conditions such as mechanical load, cleaning under high pressure and/or with chemicals, weather influences or extremely high/cold temperatures.

Consequence:
You are looking for a label (material) that is extra durable / permanently connected to your equipment and also meets the set guidelines / requirements.

Solution:
Our PT700 aluminum polyester line is standard provided with a non-aging permanent adhesive layer. This material is standard scratch resistant, light chemical resistant and UV and weather resistant. In addition, we can supply this material with a special High-tack adhesive layer so that your label will adhere even on a very difficult surface.

For most extreme situations, we have developed a laminate that you can easily apply as an extra protective layer on the label, making it even more resistant to UV and chemicals.

Recommended material: PT700 Polyester
