Wire processing - Import export

Thermal spraying processes (as classified in the EN 657 and ISO 14917 standards) offer a wide range of applications within modern surface technologies. Components made from a wide range of base materials can be coated with layers of high-melting-point metals or ceramics to protect them against wear and corrosion. Furthermore, thermally conductive or heat-insulating layers can be applied to highly thermally stressed components. Almost all coating materials that can be produced in powder or wire form can be processed in this way. During thermal spraying, the coating materials are fed into — and melted by — an energetic heat source (fuel gas oxygen flames from combustible gas, arcs or plasmas of noble gases such as argon, hydrogen, nitrogen, helium). The particles, which are either softened or fully molten, are accelerated in the direction of the workpiece and collide with it at high speed (40–600 m/s).

The high modular and robust thermometer finds its use in several applications in almost all industries. An optional head transmitter, with all common communication protocols, makes the device ready to use with enhanced measurement accuracy and reliability compared to directly wired sensors. A variety of process connections, dimensions and materials offer flexible application possibilities.

The programmable Mira 340 is designed for universal use while maintaining maximum precision. It is perfect for processing wires and insulation material with demanding requirements. The Mira 340 is fitted with a rotary head with 4X-blades and offers unique functions designed to reduce production time and increase quality. As a result, a single machine can be used for a huge range of applications. Thanks to sequential processing, multi-conductor cables and multi-layer insulation material can be processed quickly, thereby saving time. Meanwhile, its ease of use increases productivity. Mira 340 covers a large span of wire specifications up to 16 mm² conductor cross section (AWG 5) and up to 72 mm strip length. It strips, trims and twists wires and cables with maximum precision. Even demanding insulating materials such as tough Teflon®, strong Kapton® and pliable silicon can be processed.

Consistent high productivity and flexibility with maximum precision are the requirements fully automated wire processing has to meet, both today and in the future. The Alpha 550 – the latest fully automatic wire processing machine for two-sided seal insertion – meets these requirements across the entire spectrum with revo­lutionary technology. The Alpha 550 can yield crucial competitive advantages with its unmatched unit cost performance, flexible production output and superb quality. The machine comes with an ACD automatic conductor detector as a standard feature.

Solid, reliable technology coupled with innovative solutions ensures and increases your company’s ability to add value. The Alpha 530 – the fully automatic wire processing machine for one and two-sided crimping and seal loading – meets this criteria with solid, powerful technol­ogy. In addition, double crimp, sleeve insertion, ferrule crimping, strand twisting and tinning can be processed efficiently. The fast setup and conversion times of the Alpha 530 contribute to a high level of productivity. The highest quality requirements are met with its high degree of process capability and retrofittable quality options such as ACD and SQC.

Wire Processing to the Most Exacting Standards - Great Versatility Without Conversion. The Alpha 433 fully automatic crimping machine is based on state of the art technology and is designed for processing single conductors as well as double crimp connections. The Alpha 433 models are unsurpassed in their flexibility. Seal loading on one or both wire ends, various terminals and double crimp connections of different lengths and the same wires can be processed without difficulty. Teamed up with Komax MCI peripheral devices, the Alpha 433 is a very compact system offering optimum accessibility and ultra short conversion times.

Wire processing today involves a large mix of products as requirements are becoming ever more difficult. The Mira 230 from Komax is the answer to this situation. It delivers an extraordinarily wide range of applications, simple handling and increased productivity. With special functions and its article library, the Mira 230 achieves a high level of reproducible quality. Its ability for sequence makes it the first choice for multi-conductor processing. Thanks to its robust and sturdy construction, the Mira 230 has an extraordinary processing range (0.03 – 8 mm², AWG 32 – 8). With a high level of stripping force, it can process wires with hard insulation. It has special capabilities that go beyond stripping and shortening/trimming, allowing it to handle the most demanding tasks.

The more value a company adds, the more profitable its operations. The Gamma 263 S is an attractive investment for fully automatic wire processing with a high volume output for many reasons: It requires only minimal space and offers fully developed, durable technology in a variety of versions at an affordable price. The Gamma 263 S is designed for one and two-sided crimping and for one-sided seal insertion. The cross section range extends from 0.13 mm² to 2.5 mm² (AWG26 – AWG13); 4 mm² is also available as an option. Sequential processing can be started fast and easily via TopWin user interface.

The Alpha 477 fully automatic double crimping machine allows you to process two different wires simultaneously to produce your choice of double crimp or single wires. With four processing stations at the lead termination and two at the trailing end, you have a large number of possible processes at your command. The two wire drives are fitted with highly dynamic AC-servo axes and an integrated anti-slip system. With this sophisticated handling technology, two wires can be fed in parallel and their ends cut to length and terminated in a controlled process. Wires are handled gently throughout. For example, the gripping force exerted on the two wires can be programmed separately and saved for each wire. The two wires are brought together in the double gripper module, where double crimps can be produced either side by side or one above the other.

The bt 288 features two twisting lines, making it the perfect solution for efficient wire set processing – even where large quantities are involved. The Komax bt 288 is based on the proven and tested technology of the bt 188 T. With a second twisting line, this semi­automatic twisting machine offers virtually double the production efficiency without any reduction in processing quality. And with its small footprint, it takes up hardly any space at all. The bt 288 calculates the cut length automatically and – in conjunction with the flat gripper option – can be used to twist three or four wires. The intuitive software (operated via touchscreen) enables you to save the twisting parameters.

Alpha 488 S produces fully automatically Twisted-Pairs out of two single bulk wires completely cut-to-length and terminated, with all quality controls included. The modular composition of the system provides superb flexibility. Four processing stations at the wire beginning and two at the wire end offer extensive processing possibilities. The machine layout accommodates up to six processing modules. Wires with cross sections ranging from 2 × 0.22 mm² (AWG 24), optionally from 2 × 1.3 mm² (AWG 26), to 2 × 2.5 mm² (AWG 14), (processing set short open ends up to 2 × 1.0 mm²) can be processed in the highest quality. Alpha488S is available in the versions of four, seven and ten meters. In combination with the Komax crimping modules mci 722 or mci 712 and the Komax seals module mci 765 C as well as with the quick-change systems and the integrated quality monitoring systems Alpha 488 S ensures maximum process reliability and extremely short changeover times.

Power, performance and unique types of sensors are the three key features of the fully automatic Kappa cutting and stripping machines. All machine types in the Kappa product family are compelling in the extremely broad range of processing they cover. Thanks to the simple, flexible controls, even difficult to process materials can be set up quickly and easily. The changeover to new types of cables can be done without tools so it is ultra-fast. The real standout feature of the Kappa 322 is the unique patented swivel technique utilized in the wire drive axes. Two different processing positions can be approached with this feature. The machine is designed for a wide variety of special applications or the separation and processing of inside wires in multi-pole cables.
