Gamma 255 – fully automatic crimping machine

Introduction

Top quality processing over a uniquely broad range of cross sections. This fully automatic crimping machine excels in simplicity of operation and flexibility. No matter what the task, from double side crimping to twisting, fluxing and tinning, the Gamma 255 carries it out with compelling process control and minimal changeover times. In spite of its compactness, this device has fully integrated quality-monitoring and feed systems as part of its standard equipment.

Key features:

  • Reliable processing of a larger range of cross sections
  • Double side crimping or twisting, fluxing and tinning (even lead-free)
  • Can handle double side crimped wires as short as 20mm
  • Minimal footprint thanks to a compact design
  • High equipment standards
  • TopWin with graphical user interface
  • Readily accessible
  • Over 20 different languages available

Area of applications

The Komax Gamma 255 is a flexible fully automatic crimping machine for efficient wire processing. It processes cross sections in a range from 0.0123mm?/AWG36 to 2.5mm?/AWG14 in excellent quality. It is compatible with all commercially available applications. It also handles double side crimped wires as short as 20mm.

Technology

The entire cross section is processed using programmable, highly dynamic servo-drives and V stripping blades. As part of its standard equipment, the machine has a prefeeder, splice, wire-end and knot detection, as well as two wire straightening units. The integrated prefeeder assures gentle wire feed from drums, coils or reels even at high draw-in speeds. A bad wire handling system with automatic post-production is also integrated in the Gamma 255. The machine has a WPCS interface so it can fit seamlessly into your network. To verify quality, you can also integrate devices for measuring crimp height (Komax 341) and pull-out force (Komax 331/332) right into the production process. In wire deposition, you have your choice of a wear-resistant passive deposit unit and an active deposit unit featuring batch sorting.

Economy

User Friendly

The compact layout is carefully thought-out and allows you to change over from crimping to twisting, fluxing and tinning in no time at all. With its vertically opening safety cover, the Komax Gamma 255 is readily accessible from all sides. Operations and material handling are convenient and simple. The reliable TopWin user interface adds to this high level of user convenience in over 20 different languages.

Flexible

Contemporary wire processing requires total solutions with optimized functions and costs. To meet these demands, processing modules such as the ioc 709, mci 712 and mci 722 crimping presses, the mci 782 twisting module, and the ioc 785 fluxing/tinning module with all process monitoring units are integrated right into the TopWin user software. With a choice of three different crimping presses, you can adapt the Gamma 255 to meet your individual needs. No matter what products you manufacture on the Gamma 255, this machine‘s intuitive operations allow you to make full use of its flexibility. All product data is saved in a database and can be retrieved at any time.

Modules

ioc 709 crimping module

The economical solution for crimping forces up to 11kN
  • Extremely reliable mechanical system in the press requiring minimal maintenance
  • Tool mount with quick-change feature
  • Fine adjustment of crimp height to the nearest 0.01mm

mci 712 crimping module

Press with integrated crimp force analysis (CFA) for crimping forces up to 20kN
  • Just one teaching crimp required
  • Most important functions like creep speed can be controlled right from the press.

mci 722 crimping module

Press with programmable crimp height and CFA for crimping forces up to 20kN.
  • Just one teach crimp required
  • Most important functions like creep speed can be controlled right from the press
  • Shortest changeover times

mci 782 twisting module

The twisting module has plug-in connections so it can be fitted into the crimping press as quickly and easily as an applicator. This module arranges stranded wires with ultra-precision.

ioc 785 tinning module

The ioc 785 makes tinning a real breeze. Its ease of maintenance and minimal oxidization are two traits that make this unit a real standout. It can even process lead-free tin with no trouble at all.
