Komax: Alpha 520 with Programmable Z-Axis


BUFFALO GROVE, IL — The Alpha 520 from Komax brings a new level of automation and effi- ciency with its optional fully pro- grammable Z-axis feature. This cutting-edge addition is designed to optimize the crimping process, by automating the vertical height adjustment of the crimping module, result- ing in changeovers and en- hanced production precision. The Z-axis is fully pro-

grammable, allowing the ver- tical position of the crimping module for each article to be stored and recalled in the ma- chine’s Human-Machine In- terface (HMI). This innova- tion eliminates the need for manual adjustments, significant- ly reducing changeover times and ensuring accurate position- ing every time. By automating this process, operators can focus on higher-value tasks, thereby boosting productivity. Automating the vertical ad-


justment of the crimping module relative to the wire line eliminates manual intervention and mini- mizes operator influence. This en- sures precise alignment, reduces errors, and enhances the overall consistency of crimps, leading to superior process quality. The Z-axis positions the crimping unit below the wire


line, allowing the wire to swing over the crimping ears of the ter- minal. During the process, the wire is lowered into the terminal in conjunction with the crimping tool, ensuring accurate wrapping

of the terminal ears around the wire conductor to form the crimp. For closed barrel applica-


tions, the wire needs to be insert- ed into the terminal’s cavity be- fore crimping. The fully pro- grammable Z-axis automatically raises the crimping module, en- suring the correct insertion of the wire into the terminal and seamless transitions between
