Komax Wire Stripper Integrates ACD Incision
Monitoring Buffalo Grove, IL — Komax has released its benchtop Mira 230 Q programmable wire stripping mach - ine, a follow-up product to the Mira 230. The Mira 230 and Mira 230 Q have a processing range of 32 to 8 AWG (0.03 to 8 mm2). With a high stripping force, they can process wires with hard insulation. Special capabilities that go
beyond stripping and trimming allow them to handle the most demanding tasks. The ability to sequence makes both models suitable for processing multi-conductor cables. In consecu- tive steps, they strip and cut the inner conductors with a variety of parameters and without changing programs. Every cable and every sequence can be stored for reproduc- tion at any time. The Mira 230 Q now includes
integrated automatic conductor detector (ACD) incision monitoring. ACD incision monitoring detects and indicates even the slightest contact between the blade and the wire strands. This function can be activat- ed for quality assurance purposes during incision or insulation pull off. The user specifies whether
defective wires that need to be reject- ed should be cut, or if the gripper release should be manually con- firmed. The Mira 230 Q can also uti- lize ACD technology for automatic
the largest and most innovative IoT platform providers out of the market over the next few years. In order to survive, some companies may instead focus on niche applications.
Commercializing IoT Data Recent European guidelines now
recognize what 45 percent of data and analytics decision makers at U.S. enterprises are saying about the com- mercialization of data — they’re already doing it. In France, only 35 percent of companies are commercial- izing data, while Ger many sits at about 38 percent. Seeing the opportu- nity to level the playing field, the European Com mission plans to issue
guidelines this year to encourage advanced data mining technology to boost the data economy with the advancement of IoT. A part of ongoing consolidation
and the building-in of applications for customers is that the major IoT plat- forms have transferred at least some of their industry-based or IoT-specific functions available through hyper- scale cloud providers, such as AWS, IBM and Microsoft. These massive clouds are continuing to expand their global reach, get clearance for compli- ance in strict regulatory environments and solidify their capabilities. IoT platforms have an exciting time ahead as they adapt to the
evolving environment of edge com- puting, blockchain technology and niche application support. The intel- ligent, digital mesh of the IoT is increasing in complexity. The securi- ty demands at all levels of the net- work are presenting challenges for software and hardware engineers alike. As the cyber-physical web grows more complex, data security is a primary concern and must be addressed sooner rather than later. Contact: MRO Electric and

adjustment. Blade incision values are modified based on the measured conductor diameter. A high-resolution touchscreen in
smartphone format provides quick access to all Mira 230 and Mira 230 Q features. Supported by a dial and help texts, the intuitive user interface sim- plifies training and operation. The user interface, including hint texts, is pro- vided in a variety of languages, so oper- ators with different preferences can use the same machine. Contact: Komax Corp., 1100 E.
