Introduction
Power, performance and a new type 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.
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
- TopWin for connecting inkjet, part list production and network solutions
Function
This machine features a number of options and a powerful blade head. Wire sizes
from 0.05 to 10mm2 fall under its processing capacity. From this machine type and higher, all fully
automatic cutting and stripping machines can be controlled and networked via TopWin software to allow
inkjet marking.
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.
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, updates, import of CSV cable and product data are
handled over a USB stick.
Technical data
*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.
Software
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.
TopWin Kappa expands the capabilities and functions of the fully automatic Kappa
cutting and stripping machines. The PC-based control software allows inkjet marking, sequence production,
and part list processing. The products to be produced may be loaded directly to the wire processing
machine or via a job list.
The optional interface
WPCS
(Wire Processing
Communication Stand-ard) allows Komax machines to be networked under TopWin. With this open interface,
the machine is easy to integrate into existing production sequences.
TopNet is a clearly arranged mana-gement software with functions
for the centralized creation and management of parts, articles and jobs that help you to optimize your
production operations.
TopConvert can be used to convert already existing job and article
lists to WPCS format. These data may then be processed directly by the cutting and stripping machine.
