Automatic Cut, Strip and Crimp Machine
The Alpha 550 G2 is a fully automatic system for cutting, stripping and crimping wire with cross-sections ranging from 0.13 to 6 square millimeters. Powerful servomotors position the swivel arm accurately and repeatably. Maximum wire feed speed is 12 meters per second. The infeed and outfeed systems adapt automatically to each other to ensure constant optimum throughput and high Cpk values. The machine can be integrated into a production control system.
An optimized setup process keeps production interruptions as short as possible. Its modular design and customizable software make it future-proof for increased automation. A common parts concept maximizes efficiency, reduces costs and simplifies maintenance. A seal insertion module automatically loads wires with industry-standard seals and miniature grommets.
Fully automated quality monitoring with minimal operator influence ensures perfect results and minimal waste. An optical crimp monitoring station visually checks stripping quality and automatically rejects faulty products. A seal monitoring function is available to check seal position and orientation. A high-performance color vision system detects crimp defects, such as crimped-on strands or insulation in the crimp. Product quality can be tracked using statistics, image saving and network feedback.
The intuitive HMI features programmable process flows and customized dashboards in more than 25 languages. Operators are guided through the processes smoothly and efficiently.

Crimping Press Is User-Friendly
The UniCrimp 208 crimping press has a modern and user-friendly design. With maximum crimp force of 33 kilonewtons, the machine reliably connects all rear-feed and side-feed banded terminals to a conductor with high quality and speed. A 7-inch touch-screen interface enables easy and direct operation. It can hold all common mechanical or pneumatic universal crimp tools and the corresponding terminal material. The optional, fully integrated ACO 08 crimp force monitoring system offers enhanced quality assurance. It accepts wire from 30 to 8 AWG. Crimp height is micro-adjustable.

Benchtop Crimping Tool
The HX33 benchtop pneumatic crimp tool is an alternative to handheld tools. It accepts wire ranging from 24 to 10 AWG and operates on dry, standard shop air from 80 to 120 psi. The tool is compatible with most interchangeable Y dies that produce various crimp patterns including hex, nest and indent, B crimps, and crescents. This tool is designed to crimp insulated and noninsulated terminals, splices and coax connectors. A foot pedal activates the jaws of the tool. The machine is equipped with a transparent safety guard and an emergency release button to open the jaws in the event of a blockage.

Hand Tool Cuts, Strips and Crimps
The Stripax Plus hand tool can cut, strip and crimp single wires with cross-sections ranging from 20 to 14 AWG. Wire-end ferrules are stored in a magazine in the tool’s handle and are automatically transported to the crimping die. Adjustments for different cross-sections are made automatically; no manual adjustment is required. The stripping unit is self-adjusting, and strip length is adjustable via an end stop.

Brush Strips for Cable Management
BES brush strips are a practical way of organizing network cables in 10-inch and 19-inch switch cabinets from various manufacturers. The brush strips have integrated spring locks for tool-less assembly and disassembly. To install or remove the strips, release the spring locks on both sides.
The strips enable cables to be easily routed through the cabinet, obscuring the view of the cables inside the switch cabinet and creating an organized appearance. The brush strips protect against the ingress of dust and dirt and, at the same time, ensure air circulation.
The strips are suitable for a temperature range from -30 to 80 C and are made of powder-coated steel with polyamide brushes. Sturdy and durable, the brushes function reliably over a long period of time.
