Komax BT - Model 188 T -Semi-Automatic Cable Processing Twister Machine
The bt 188 T semi-automatic cable processing machine twists up to four wires and the wire ends can also be automatically fixed with tape in an optional step. The bt 188 T offers excellent quality at high speeds of up to 350 pieces per hour in single twisting. The twisted end and lay length, wire cross section, wire outer diameter and open ends can be varied depending on requirements. The required cutting length is calculated automatically. The bt 188 T therefore offers economical twisting with short set-up and changeover times. The integrable multi-twisting unit processes three or four wires in a single process step and features uniform lay lengths and high reproducibility. The optional spot taping unit is only available for the bt 188 T. The twisted wires are protected against untwisting with spot tape made of fabric or PVC tape.
Intuitive user interface with TopTouch for easy operation
The TopTouch user interface can be used to set the parameters of the semi-automatic twisting unit. The user-friendly software guides you through the process.
The bt 188 T twists wires at a speed of up to 350 pieces an hour – and with high quality to meet all requirements in the automotive industry.
The flat grippers can also be used to twist three or four wires precisely multiple times. The result is impressively uniform lay length and high reproducibility.
The integrated spot taping unit enables both ends of the cable to be spot taped simultaneously. The module thus protects against untwisting with spot tape made of fabric or PVC tape.
