Kappa 310 – Cutting to length and stripping

Introduction

Power, performance and a new type of sensors are the three key features of the fully automatic Kappa cutting and stripping machines. Simple, intuitive controls allow these machines to be used efficiently in daily operation.

Key features:

  • Broader processing range with a diversity of options and solutions
  • Innovative sensors to aid in setup and to monitor processing
  • Intuitive, flexible and simple touch-screen operation
  • Simple integration of upstream and downstream equipment

Kappa 310

The Kappa 310 is an ultra-compact and reasonably priced high-speed machine. It is designed for the reliable controlled processing of the finest wire sizes from 0.02mm2 to 6mm2. All process parameters can be saved along with applied pressure values.

Area of application

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.

Sensors

The conductor diameter and cross section are automatically detected by a sensor, so new cable material can be set up and parameterized at the press of a button. Setup used to be extremely time-consuming. This unique measuring approach reduces this procedure to an absolute minimum. Thanks to the optical cable detector, cut losses are also a thing of the past. The same sensor continuously monitors processing during production. The end of the cable or stripping errors are detected at the earliest possible point in time.

Flexible and user friendly

TopTouch is an intuitive touch screen user software modeled on the TopWin structure found in automatic crimping machines. With the integrated user prompts, Kappas are extremely easy to operate.

Periphery and interfaces

The integration of wire feeding systems, markers, deposition units, and other peripheral devices is standardized and easy.  Up to six peripheral devices can be controlled parallel to the main system depending on the machine model. Data backup and updates are handled over a USB stick.

*The Kappa generations can process many conductors outside the indicated cross section range. Certain extremely hard, tough wires may not be able to be processed even if they are within the indicated cross section range. In case of doubt, we are happy to produce samples of your wires.
