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.
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.
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.
