The Kappa 350 is a power pack machine that uses the double-blade principle to processround conductors up to 120 mm² and a maximum outer diameter of 35 mm. It has either a belt drive or various drive rollers available for wire transport. A switchable pressure unit adjusts the contact pressure of the drive unit to suit the processing step. Sophisticated sensor technology ensures that cut losses are eliminated. These are of particular consequence in the upper cross-section range.

Function

The powerful belt drive guarantees careful processing across the full cross-section range. The sensors are also combined with a length measurement encoder to provide optimal process monitoring and accuracy. Precuts are automatically minimized.

Sensor technology

For automatic conductor detection, a sensor using an inductive measuring principle automatically determines the conductor diameter. This shortens setup and changeover times considerably and reduces operator errors. An optical measurement principle using lasers and CCD lines determines the outer diameters of the wires and also checks that the wire is present during processing.

Peripherals and interfaces

Integration of wire feeder systems, printers, active deposit units, etc., is standardized and easy. Particular attention has beenpaid to the integration and control of the inkjet systems. Data backup, software updates and the import of CSV wire and product data are all carried out via a USB stick.

Software

The intuitive “TopTouch” touchscreen operating software is based on the proven Top-Win structure used on fully automatic crimping machines. The integrated user guidance makes all Kappas extremely easy to operate. TopWin Kappa enhances the capabilities and functionality of Kappa automatic cutting and stripping machines. The PC-based control software allows inkjet printing, sequence production or part list processing. The products to be produced can either be loaded onto the processing machine directly or via a jobs list. The optional WPCS (Wire Processing Communication Standard) interface enables the networking of Komax machines and their easy integration into existing production processes. The software used on the Kappa 350 also allows the centralized creation and management of parts, articles and orders in order to optimize production. Existing order and article lists can be converted into WPCS format using TopConvert. This data can then be processed directly by the cutting and stripping machine.
