Alpha 355 High performance fully automatic crimping machine
THE WAY TO MAKE IT EFFICIENT Short setup and changeover times, integrated quality measurements, and top performance are the three main features of the Alpha 355 fully automatic crimping machines. Area of application The Komax Alpha 355 is designed for one and twosided crimping and seal loading. It even handles double-crimp connections involving varying lengths and the same wire types without any problem. The ultra-precise dual-channel blade system allows for a large range of wire sizes without blade changes.
Alpha 355 In action Blade head Dual-channel blade system Draw-in and wire selector Guide tube changer automatic Fast changeovers In most machines, changeover times offer the biggest potential for optimization. With options like the manual wire selector and/or the quick-change system for crimping tools, materials and tools can be prepared for the next job while the machine is running. Jobs can also be recorded and edited with TopWin while the machine is running. The changeover time is displayed, providing an easy method for optimizing the workflow. Quick-change system For crimping tools
Maximum quality control Crimp-height measurement and fully automatic pull-out force measurement are integrated in the process sequence. Optional material-change detection and the optional barcode scanner help to prevent materials from getting mixed up. The processes are constantly checked against the specified values during production with functions that monitor crimp force, seals, splices, end of wire supply, and length. Any cables with processing defects are removed and an appropriate number of cables are post-processed automatically to replace them. Pull-out force measurement Fully automatic User friendly The drive unit for the blade head is placed underneath, giving the machine a neat and ergonomic layout. All processing stations have safety covers that open vertically for optimum access, and application-specific parts like applicators and contact rolls can be changed without tools. Controls are placed at decentralized positions, allowing the necessary machine functions to be triggered during setup. All setting and adjustment procedures can be controlled from the TopWin graphical user interface in the operator s choice of over 20 different languages.
