Cut Wire Processing Costs While Increasing Efficiency
By Pete Doyon, VP Product Management, Schleuniger, Inc. E
The ProVue Touch series lamps feature modern slim design with energy saving LEDs that provide shadow free illumination. Two models available, the ProVue Touch featuring 108 LEDs and the Provue Touch Dual featuring 108 white LEDs and 72 UV LEDs. The large 7” (3-Diopter) diameter lens with a 5-Diopter spot lens is mounted in an ABS plastic housing attached to a 35” industrial grade spring balance arm.

ven now, as things seem to be looking up, companies are con- tinually looking to cut costs
and increase efficiency. In addition, these companies must remain com- pliant with the strict quality and safety standards of the industry, adding even more pressure. Because of this, innovative, automated and easy-to-use products are needed more than ever before to help compa- nies achieve their goals. With unique service and a wide range of equip- ment to fit a variety of wire process- ing needs, Schleuniger strives to bring this level of innovation to cus- tomers with products and solutions that solve some of the most common challenges in the wire processing industry today. One of the biggest challenges
manufacturers face is ease of use with machines. Companies expect one user to be able to operate multi- ple machines simultaneously and to understand the ins and outs of each machine. Automated machin ery is a great way to begin solving this issue. The RotaryStrip 2400, the next
generation single conductor benchtop wire stripping machine, was specifi- cally designed to cater to the need for automation and, most importantly, to keep the process as simple as pos- sible for the user. The machine begins the strip-

ping process when the wire end touches the trigger sensor. The wire is automatically clamped and the stripping process is performed ac - cording to the programmed values. If desired, the program can be saved to internal memory for future use. There are different password levels for operator, programmer and main- tenance personnel. The “operator” level limits the user to selecting existing programs only, while the “programmer” and “maintenance” levels permit editing and saving pro- grams. This saves time and allows for consistency, cutting down on cost- ly mistakes, such as bad strips, caused by improper programming that lead to reject wires. Continuing its aptitude for ease of use, the RotaryStrip 2400 easily strips Teflon, Kapton and Fiberglass insu- lated wires with optional twisting of the inner strands. Best of all, it pro- vides the highest precision and qual- ity available on the market today, ensuring manufacturers can be confi- dent in their products. Another common challenge in

the industry is the need for one machine to be able to tackle multiple projects. The UniStrip 2550 is unique- ly designed to process an expanded range of applications. The machine comes standard with V-blades, which are the optimum solution for stripping most wires without having to change blades. Yet, V- blades are not always the best tool for the job. Because of this, the UniStrip 2550 allows users the flexibility to also use radius blades, die blades or flat blades, which are the better solution for more diffi-

labor requirements while still expanding flexibility and capability. On a cramped manufacturing floor, the ability to reduce the number of machines and workers on the floor can have a huge impact. In addition, the CrimpCenter
36S is available at a very economical price, making the positive financial benefits another added bonus. Running less machinery leads to lower power consumption, which in turn allows companies to lower utili- ty costs. Of course, this also adds to the overall “green factor” of the com- pany which though right now is only considered a benefit that is nice to have, it may soon be a requirement as government energy regulations continue to evolve around the world. Despite economic challenges, it
is certain the wire processing indus- try will only continue to grow and mature. And as it continues to mature, so will the challenges manu- facturers face. Expect to see more products looking to set new technical standards by bringinglprecision, flex- ibility and user-friendliness to wire processing, because with these quali- ties, the future applications of this
technology are limitless. Contact: Schleuniger, 87 Colin

cult to strip insulations such as Teflon, Kapton and Kynar. Companies are able to save costs by processing sever- al applications with one flexible machine.
There are other advantages
that go along with one machine being able to perform several different functions in addition to flexibility. One of these is an increase in avail- able space on the manufacturing floor. For example, the CrimpCenter 36S, a fully automatic machine that quickly and efficiently cuts, strips and terminates a wide range of wire types and sizes, utilizes a compact modular design that offers space for up to six processing stations, such as seal loaders, twisting and tinning stations. This provides a smaller footprint because the advanced tech- nology and productivity make it pos- sible to replace multiple legacy machines with one CrimpCenter 36S thereby reducing floor space and
