The robust all-rounder

Unrivaled robustness and durability

  • Reliable processing of wire cross sections ranging from
    0.13 to 6 mm²
  • Production of special and complex applications thanks to flexible machine configurations
  • Solid and reliable processes with powerful, durable technology
  • Reduced maintenance costs thanks to the unique approach to wearing parts
  • Designed for demanding ambient conditions

Precise and outstanding quality

  • First time right – perfectly synchronized machine processes enable excellent CpK results
  • Highly robust machine configuration
  • Can be retrofitted with unique quality checking systems such as Q1250 scalable and ACD
  • Wires handled carefully, gently during processing

Productive due to fast changeover

  • High productivity performance thanks to ultra-fast machine setup and operation
  • Quick and highly efficient changing of cables, crimp tools, terminal rolls
  • New deposit system for maximum output

Stable, tried-and-tested technology combined with innovative solutions secures and increases the added value of your company. Alpha 530 – the fully automatic wire processing machine for crimping and loading of seals – on both sides – meets these criteria with its solid, powerful technology. In addition, double crimp, sleeve assembly and ferrule assembly can also be efficiently processed and the strands twisted and tinned. The quick set-up and changeover times of Alpha 530 contribute to high productivity. High process capability and retrofittable quality options such as Q1250 scalable and ACD meet the highest quality requirements.

Maximum productivity in no time at all

Short distances for the operator between crimping, cable and cutting stations, as well as LED-illuminated work zones increase productivity. The user interface is clearly structured and can be expanded. The user guidance is sequence-controlled and can be individually adapted. 
Changeovers with the Alpha 530 can be even faster using the optional linear wire quick changer and the stationary (STC) terminal quick change system.

Quick changeover; set up in parallel

Simple, fast set-up and changeover concepts enable short distances and speed up the processes for changeover and set-up. The Alpha 530 is time-saving and ergonomic to operate via touch screen, keyboard and mouse. The intuitive user interface makes it possible to load the next job on the fly – as well as prepare material and tools. Control displays and LED-illuminated work areas optimize and enhance user guidance.

First-time-right approach – minimal rejects

Top precision, even at maximum system performance and excellent CpK results – the machine processes and the functions for quality assurance are perfectly attuned to each other. The reliable EtherCAT technology guarantees optimum processes.

Quality assurance by Komax

Komax develops and produces its own quality assurance technology. This QA technology meets the highest standards of the automotive industry. Also available are the integrated optical stripping, seal and crimp monitoring function (Q1250 scalable) and crimp force monitoring (CFA+/CFA) for detecting missing strands and other crimp faults. The optional Automatic Conductor Detector (ACD) reduces operator intervention and ensures quality control of even the finest wires. The ACD detects the slightest contact between the blade and the conductor strand during the stripping process.

Gentle wire guidance

The pneumatic wire straightener enables high feed-in speed and excellent deposit quality even with difficult conductor material. With the actively controlled roller pressure, any changes in the cable containers and draw-in speed are compensated. To avoid indentations on the cables during machine stops, the roller pressure is automatically reduced.
The speed of the deposit conveyor belt is automatically adjusted, assuring neat and gentle wire deposit. The deposit tray features a smooth surface to prevent any cable damage.
