Schleuniger is proud to present another highlight for the end of the year: the semiautomatic stripping machine CoaxStrip 6480 processes coaxial cables with an outer diameter of 1.2 to 12 millimeters, offers unique processing functions and helps to reduce operating costs. With its simplified programming, high-performance control software and high production performance, it is the solution for almost any production need.
15 percent increase in productivity
With top quality features such as fast and easy machine setup, as well as, precise and powerful drives, the CoaxStrip 6480 can produce more wires in less time. While the newly developed, powerful drives guarantee an average productivity increase of 15 %, the reliable and quality-focused technology virtually eliminates unplanned downtime. Changeover times for changing mechanical parts are completely eliminated as both the cutting blades as well as the centering and clamping jaws may be used for the entire range of wires. The maintenance of the machine is also quicker and easier due to the easy to remove protective cover, without the use of tools.
This machine also has an innovative technology concept: Depending on the processing diameter, the contact point will vary on the blade edge for each of the three blades, increasing their service life and reducing operating costs. In addition, the three-blade stripping head offers a considerable advantage when removing highly adhesive insulations due to its large contact surface.
Quality control made easy
This system also provides three unique functions for quality monitoring: The „cable diameter verification“ prevents the processing of incorrect wires because it ensures that the outer diameter of the inserted wire corresponds to the value entered in the wire program. If it does not, the machine stops and displays an error message. The company’s cable retraction function automatically guides the wire into the correct stripping position, a great help in the work process, especially when processing flexible materials and long stripping lengths. And the „cable end detection“ ensures that the lengths of the stripped wires are exact and precise, no matter how they are inserted into the machine. But it gets even better: The positioning of the stripping blades slightly behind the centering jaws, means that damage to the shielding, the dielectric and the inner conductor can be eliminated during the whole stripping process. A precise and clean cut is achieved thanks to the fact that the blade cuts are made linearly and at right angles to the cable axis. The three-jaw centering system, located directly in front of the blades, ensures that the wire is perfectly centered and stabilized during the stripping process. And: The centering jaw position can be programmed for each layer as well as for the twisting of the inner conductors, resulting in a reliable and high-quality result.
Charming programming
Never before has the programming of a semiautomatic stripping machine been so simple. The processing parameters are automatically calculated based on the raw material data, and the stored libraries even contain presettings for conductor cross-sections, which are displayed in both square millimeters and AWG. In addition, the raw material data of the most common coaxial cables are stored in the library from the very beginning. Like all of the company’s automatic cut & strip machines, the CoaxStrip 6480 is controlled by the S.ON software. This means that operators who are already familiar with these products will find the same interface on all machines, reducing the amount of required training accordingly. In addition, the high-resolution color touchscreen offers an intuitive, modern and user-friendly interface.
With its new all-rounder – the sixth product launched this year – the company completes a successful year 2018, which was marked by a high rate of innovation. In addition to the fully automatic CrimpCenter 36 SP, which stands for maximum productivity, the Exmore in-line laser marking system, as well as the sensor-controlled quality monitoring option SmartDetect on the UniStrip 2300, the company demonstrated its strengths, particularly in the field of semiautomatic stripping machines, surprising customers with numerous production-optimizing innovations.
