More efficiency and cost savings in control cabinet construction, even for small series

1. Wire output as cable bundles or in ducts: always in the correct order!

The produced wires are optionally placed either between two adhesive tapes as cable bundles with different cross-sections from 0.5 mm² to 6 mm² or in wire ducts. No matter which output form you choose, the wires are always arranged according to the sequence required for control cabinet wiring. For wire output in ducts, each cross-section is placed in a separate wire duct, and after the processing is complete, the wire ducts are removed from the machine and, with an optionally available transport trolley, delivered directly to the workstation for wiring. The removal takes place in the predefined order without removing the adhesive tape.

2. Automatic wire labeling with source/target marking

Modern ink-jet printers label the wires with excellent readability and automatically select the correct contrast color based on the wire color. The labeling takes place automatically during the process, without any time loss and without additional drying times. The labeling can optionally be applied at adjustable positions or continuously along the wire.

3. Automatic crimping unit with 5 or 10 feed pots

The feed pots (5 or 10) in the cross-section range from 0.5 mm² to 6 mm² are selected according to customer requirements and automatically process loose ferrules with a length of 8 mm to 18 mm using a Quattro crimping tool, without any retooling. The ferrules processed comply with DIN 46228. In addition to ferrule crimping, the wires can also be output with full pull-off from 2 mm to 22 mm or partial pull-off from 6 mm to 20 mm.

4. Automatic wire change

The automatic wire change for all wires required in a control cabinet project is the prerequisite for wire output according to the wiring sequence. The Triathlon S offers automatic wire change for 12 wires, and the Triathlon L for up to 36 wires. Each quickly changeable wire cassette holds 12 wires, which are read by the Triathlon machines via an RFID chip and processed automatically. The Triathlon L is designed to accommodate 3 cassettes with 12 wires each simultaneously, and the Triathlon S for 1 cassette with 12 wires. In both machines, the cassettes are changed without tools in approximately 30 seconds. The machine automatically recognizes the wires and independently adjusts all processing parameters for the new wires.

6. Additional savings

By outputting the wires in the wiring sequence and automatically labeling each wire, the assembler can identify the source and destination of a wire without further checking the circuit diagram. With output in wiring sequence, the position of the source is also automatically predefined. This reduces errors and simultaneously achieves further significant savings in wiring, which additionally improves the ROI considerations mentioned at the beginning.
