Komax BT 288 Twister

Wire twisting machine

Scope of application

Twisted Pair

What makes the bt 288 so compelling are its two twist lines and high twisting speed. The machine is designed to twist cable sets in small to medium-sized quantities with perfect results.

The bt 288 system is largely based on the bt 188, a proven performer for many years now and has an additional twist line. Despite its tiny footprint, the semi-automatic twister is exceptionally productive in terms of output and precision. With its optimized work sequence and ergonomically arranged controls, the device reduces fatiguing operating procedures to an absolute minimum.

The intuitive software with touch screen controls is user friendly and allows the twisting parameters to be saved. The bt 288 calculates the required cut length from the final length, pitch length, wire cross section, outside cable diameter and the open ends.
