Wire processing today involves a large mix of products as requirements are becoming ever more difficult. The Mira 230 from Komax is the answer to this situation. It delivers an extraordinarily wide range of applications, simple handling and increased productivity. With special functions and its article library, the Mira 230 achieves a high level of reproducible quality. Its ability for sequence makes it the first choice for multi-conductor processing. Thanks to its robust and sturdy construction, the Mira 230 has an extraordinary processing range (0.03 – 8 mm², AWG 32 – 8). With a high level of stripping force, it can process wires with hard insulation. It has special capabilities that go beyond stripping and shortening/trimming, allowing it to handle the most demanding tasks.

The programmable Mira 340 is designed for universal use while maintaining maximum precision. It is perfect for processing wires and insulation material with demanding requirements. The Mira 340 is fitted with a rotary head with 4X-blades and offers unique functions designed to reduce production time and increase quality. As a result, a single machine can be used for a huge range of applications. Thanks to sequential processing, multi-conductor cables and multi-layer insulation material can be processed quickly, thereby saving time. Meanwhile, its ease of use increases productivity. Mira 340 covers a large span of wire specifications up to 16 mm² conductor cross section (AWG 5) and up to 72 mm strip length. It strips, trims and twists wires and cables with maximum precision. Even demanding insulating materials such as tough Teflon®, strong Kapton® and pliable silicon can be processed.

The Cosmic 42R is the precision machine for multi-layered stripping of micro-coaxial cables. This stripping machine processes the finest conductors with speed and precision. Multi-step stripping involving up to 9 steps is part of the performance capabilities of the Cosmic 42R, as is its memory that accommodates 1000 data records. The Cosmic 42R stripping machine is used for micro-coaxial cables involving especially tough precision requirements. Cosmic 42R optimally processes coaxial cables, triaxial cables and cables with especially thin, hard or tough insulation. Conductors with braided insulation, e.g. polyester fibers, also belong to the processing range. The Cosmic 42R is ideal for a great diversity of products made in small to medium quantities.

The machines in the Cosmic 60 series are portable, semiautomatic jacket and wire stripping machines with rotating blades and a high pull-off force. Operation is unbelievably easy thanks to the analogue settings and the release sensor. These all-purpose machines are operated electrically so they can be used everywhere. The machines process conductors with outside diameters ranging from 2.5 to 10 mm or 11 to 18 mm depending on the model, i.e. they strip single conductors and jackets of multi-conductor cables. The portable machines can be used anywhere a power socket is available. The machines in the Cosmic 60 series are ideal for a highly diverse products made in small to medium quantities.

The bt 712 bench top press is a precise semiautomatic crimping press with great functionality and big benefits to users, all at good value for the money. The semiautomatic bt 712 bench top model is compelling for its modern technology and sets new standards in quality and speed. This all-purpose press accommodates the use of all common commercial crimping tools so individual crimps previously done manually can be processed on it with great precision. In terms of safety features, the bt 712 has a safety cover equipped with a dual-channel safety system (RCS). The software (in 12 languages) can be operated from a small touch screen interface (TCI). The bench top press has a service tool integrated with a data memory for storing up to 500 articles, for making backups and for uploading updates.

This bench top crimping press is outstanding in terms of short cycle times, short changeover and setup times, programmable crimp height and the user-friendly TopTouch interface. These features, combined with the optional programmable stripper and bad part cutter, ensure top quality finished conductors regardless of the machine operator. Quality monitored crimping of single and multi-core cables is no problem with the semi-automatic bt 722 crimp press, not even when ultra-short stripping lengths are involved. Standard commercial crimping tools (left and back contact feed) can be used for processing.

As an all-round solution in the cutting machine segment, the lota 330 has universal scope for application. The unit is designed to cut a wide variety of coiled materials to an exact length (up to 1,000 m), such as heat-shrink tubing, pneumatic hoses, cables, plastic bands and much more. The lota 330 does the job carefully and reliably while guaranteeing user-friendly operation. The lota 330 is ready for use after pressing the ‘Power On’ button. The material to be cut is clamped in place according to the closing distance and applied pressure settings of the belt drive. The product length, number of pieces and batch size can be set via the touchscreen. The desired end product can be verified using the sample function, and the machine can then be started. Five buttons serving as hard keys for the most common operations, along with the touch display, enable simple handling and quick changeover for a wide range of materials without the use of any tools.

The Kappa 330 belong to the latest generation of automatic cutting and stripping machines. This model is compelling in the extremely broad range of processing they cover. With the simple, flexible touch controls, even difficult to process materials can be set up quickly and easily. The conversion to new types of cables can be done without tools so it is ultra-fast. This model is designed for processing cables with a cross section of up to 35mm², multicore conductors with an outside diameter of up to 16mm or flat cables with a width of up to 40mm. The customer has his choice of a belt drive or various double-roller drives depending on his requirements. The conductor diameter is automatically detected by a sensor using an inductive measuring approach. This feature greatly shortens setup and changeover and reduces operating errors. Laser and a CCD line optically measure the outside cable diameter and check that the cable is present during processing.

Coaxial connectors require especially precise processing of the conductors: The Cosmic 48R and 48RX are the ideal tools for meeting the quality requirements of connector assembly specifications. The Cosmic 48R processes coaxial, triaxial and other multi-layered cables in up to 9 steps. The Cosmic 48RX is optimised for the stripping of semi-flexible coaxial cables. The Cosmic 48R and 48RX stripping machines are ideal for processing round, multilayered cables. Cuts into coaxial and triaxial cables are made precisely over the entire circumference. The cut parameters can be individually optimised. The Cosmic 48RX is specially designed for semi-flexible coaxial cables. The optimised blade geometry ensures great cut performance even in the processing of tinned outside conductors.

High-performance, even for small cross-sections. Cutting force, high volume output and advanced sensor technology make the Kappa machines the number one choice for automated cutting and stripping, even for smaller wire cross-sections. The machines can be used very efficiently thanks to their simple, intuitive control elements. The Kappa product family stands out thanks to its extremely broad processing range. Its intuitive and simple operation and controls allow you to easily set up even difficult-to-process materials, with extremely fast tool-free changeover to new types of wires. The intuitive TopTouch operating software guides the user through the process logically. During production, operators have maximum transparency thanks to simple adjustment settings for important parameters. This makes the Kappa machines especially intuitive and safe to operate.
