Alpha 355
THE WAY TO MAKE IT
| EFFICIENT
Short setup and changeover times, integrated quality measurements, and top
performance are the three main features of the Alpha 355 fully automatic
crimping machines.
Area of application
The Komax Alpha 355 is designed for one and
two-sided crimping and seal loading. It even handles
double-crimp connections involving varying lengths
and the same wire types without any problem.
The ultra-precise dual-channel blade system allows
for a large range of wire sizes without blade changes.
Fast changeovers
In most machines, changeover times offer the
big-gest potential for optimization. With options like
the manual wire selector and/or the quick-change
system for crimping tools, materials and tools can
be prepared for the next job while the machine is
running.
Jobs can also be recorded and edited with TopWin
while the machine is running. The changeover time is
displayed, providing an easy method for optimizing
the workflow.

Maximum quality control
Crimp-height measurement and fully automatic
pull-out force measurement are integrated in the
process sequence. Optional material-change
detection and the optional barcode scanner help to
prevent materials from getting mixed up.
The processes are constantly checked against the
specified values during production with functions that
monitor crimp force, seals, splices, end of wire
supply, and length. Any cables with processing
defects are removed and an appropriate number of
cables are post-processed automatically to replace
them.
User friendly
The drive unit for the blade head is placed
under-neath, giving the machine a neat and ergonomic
layout. All processing stations have safety covers
that open vertically for optimum access, and
application-specific parts like applicators and
contact rolls can be changed without tools. Controls
are placed at decentralized positions, allowing the
necessary machine functions to be triggered during
setup. All setting and adjustment procedures can be
controlled from the TopWin graphical user interface in
the operator’s choice of over 20 different languages.
