TE Connectivity (TE), a world leader in connectivity and sensors, has worked with Airbus to develop a highly customized set of labels for identifying wing components. By creating a highly customized labelling solution for Airbus, TE has demonstrated its commitment to working in partnership with customers to develop products that meet their specific needs and help enable the future of transportation.
Engineers and manufacturing specialists from TE and Airbus developed the customized label sheets over six months for the A319, A320 and A380. Each individual sheet design contains a complete shipset of labels for a specific subsystem and take a visual and intuitive approach to identification labelling of complex subsystems and assemblies in aircraft wings to help its technicians to position identification labels quickly and accurately.
By Useing the labels which are a highly customized version of TE's HPR100 labels, staying in place and legible for decades in spite of extreme temperatures and exposure to aviation fluids such as Skydrol, jet fuel, water and aggressive cleaning fluids. A typical aircraft requires around 400 individual labels in its wings and engine assemblies.
Philippe Contri, global product manager for label products at TE Connectivity, said: ‘As a permanent label to identify airframe components and cable termination points, identification products like HPR100 help airlines to ensure fast turn-around times through efficient inspections, repairs, refits and refurbishments over the life of the aircraft.
About HPR100 high-performance rating label
The HPR100 high-performance rating labels are TE Connectivity’s (TE) new rugged, self-adhesive labels. These custom design labels offer customers in the industrial, aerospace, defense and marine environments (where labels have to withstand grease, water, humidity, cold, chemicals, and heat) excellent performance – at a competitive price. Its adhesive composition makes it suitable for harsh environments, e.g. high and low surface energy as well as textured substrates. The label, printed in thermal transfer, provides high legibility quality and is resistant against UV, fluids, dry and wet abrasion.
KEY FEATURES

? Label material: White matte polyester
? Custom design sizes: Continuous, square, silhouette
? White and color backgrounds
? Self-extinguishing
? Highly sticking adhesive
? Suitable for high and low surface energy and textured substrates
INDUSTRIES
? Industrial
