As Unmistakable as a Fingerprint

The X-CODE coding and identification system from HANSA-FLEX has been proven millions of times in practice. Each individual hose line is uniquely identified by its X-CODE and a suitable spare part can be obtained anywhere in the world in the shortest possible time. The X-CODE gives every hose line a digital profile containing all the relevant information. This profile forms the basis for service planning as part of preventive maintenance.

A Code for Every Case

The unique X-CODE combines all the information about a specific hose line, forms the basis for the replacement order and hose management.

Order spare parts without errors and in the shortest possible time

Each X-CODE contains the exact specifications of a unique hose line in a specific usage environment. After giving the six-digit alphanumeric code to any HANSA-FLEX branch in the world, you can arrange for an identical spare part to be manufactured and delivered to the place of use as quickly as possible. Spare parts procurement could not be easier, faster or more precise.

Uniquely identify every hose line

The X-CODE is permanently attached in an easily visible position so that every hose line can be uniquely identified. Depending on the installation situation and the customer’s requirements, HANSA-FLEX can provide different forms of attached identification such as Tip Tags, self-adhesive labels or stainless steel plates. QR codes and RFID chips can be integrated so they can be machine read.

The principles of digital hose management

Each X-CODE is a kind of digital profile containing all the information about the component to which it is attached. This data is stored in a customised X-CODE database, which we make available to our customers free of charge in the my.hansa-flex.com.tr customer portal. Using our X-CODE Manager hose line management software, you can add to or edit this data and use it for the preventive maintenance of your hydraulic systems.

A Suitable Solution for Every Purpose

Choose the most suitable form of attachment for your application and installation situation. The X-CODE is usually attached to your hose line in the form of a self-adhesive label or a Tip Tag with cable ties. Other materials are available on request.

This also contains the X-CODE in the form of a QR code and can be supplemented with customer-specific material numbers and other information. The integrated labelling of the hose line in accordance with DIN 20066 eliminates the usual embossing of the fitting. The protective laminate is suitable for high temperatures up to 240 °C.

The distinctive yellow-black Tip Tag marker on black cable ties has been the conventional method of attachment for the X-CODE since 2004. The marker can be removed and attached to the replacement component at the branch. Also available with QR code.

The X-CODE VA cable is made of SS316 stainless steel and is suitable for use at extreme temperatures from -80 °C to +538 °C. Areas of use include high-temperature applications and the food industry. The code is applied by laser engraving.

The X-CODE cable tie with RFID chip can be automatically read using a scanner or an app. This is useful for preventing registration errors in hard-to-reach installation situations with a large number of hose lines.

For hose lines used in areas where particularly good corrosion protection for fittings is required, the X-CODE can also be attached using a shrink hose. The X-CODE shrink hose is a highly flexible, temperature-resistant and flame-retardant polyolefin heat-shrinkable hose.

X-CODE Makes Your Work
Easier in Many Ways

The X-CODE is an important tool that greatly simplifies preventive maintenance in hydraulics. Find out the advantages of X-CODE at a glance.

Fast, simple and precise

No measurement required, X-CODE ensures the spare part is a 100% fit.

 

 

 

Individualised description

Customer-specific information can be integrated in the form of a self-adhesive label during creation.

Machine readable

QR codes and RFID chips are used to ensure error-free digital capture of data.

 

Universal in use

X-CODEs can be used for other components or complete component groups.

 

 

 

The X-CODE Self-Adhesive Label

The X-CODE self-adhesive label is especially suitable for tight installation situations.

Versatile, efficient and service-oriented

The X-CODE self-adhesive label is particularly suitable for tight installation situations. It is attached directly to the hose line and protected against external influences such as oil, abrasion and weathering by a transparent laminate. Mandatory information such as the job number, date of manufacture and maximum operating pressure is no longer embossed on the fitting as usual, but printed in a highly legible form on the label in one of four information blocks. By integrating document and item numbers, customer-specific descriptions and material numbers as well as a QR code version of the X-CODE, this identification method performs practical service functions for the customer.
