Processing Stations

The CenterStrip 1000 is designed to precisely strip insulation windows from wires and multi-layer cables ranging from 0.5 – 10 mm² (20 – 8 AWG). Short cycle times, simple operation, and easy integration make the CenterStrip 1000 an ideal add-on to automatic wire processing systems, such as fully automatic crimping machines or cut & strip machines.

• Full insulation cut-out (window)
• Easy integration with various automatic wire processing machines
• Excellent accessibility with vertically raising safety cover
• Fast and simple changeover to other cross sections / stripping lengths

The UniCrimp 222 is a crimping station designed for high speed production on CrimpCenter series machines. The station includes integrated crimp force monitoring with the Schleuniger CFM 20 as well as a height adjustable base frame. It accepts most side- or rear-feed mini-style crimping applicators with either mechanical or pneumatic feed.

• Suited for precise high speed crimping
• Integrated crimp force monitoring
• Automatic crimp height adjustment
• Suitable for all standard crimp applicators

Seal fitting station for CrimpCenter. Conveys and orientates loose seals and positions them on previously stripped wires. Suitable for all types of seal, also for example, mini and hard-shell seals. Optional seal monitoring (SealCheck). Existing SLU SealKits can be reused.

• Improved cycle time due to optimized mechanism
• Kit change and multi coupling requiring no tooling
• High precision of the seal fitting and monitoring
• Low energy consumption
• Appealing design and ergonomics
• Setting and operating using EASY software

Crimping Station for CrimpCenter

The UniCrimp 500 A is a crimping machine with 5 tons of press forces. It processes both rear and side feed banded terminals (open or closed barrel type) for cable cross sections up to 16 mm² (6 AWG).

• For processing large cable cross sections up to 16 mm² (6 AWG)
• For processing rear and side feed banded terminals
• Short cycle times
• Quick-change applicator base plate
• Optional crimp force monitoring

Twisting Station for CrimpCenter

The STW 1100 twisting station is specifically designed for twisting conductor end strands on CrimpCenter series, fully automatic strip and terminate machines . It easily handles wire sizes up to 2.5 mm² (14 AWG) and twists conductor end strands of stripped wires up to 18 mm (0.71'') stripping length. It is typically used in conjunction with the STS 1100 tinning station.

• Short cycle times and fast changeover times
• Can be mounted inside the press to minimize station requirements
• Can be mounted outside the press on its own pedestal for optimum flexibility
• Programmable twist rates and wire pull-out speeds
• All production parameters programmed and stored through the machine interface

Sealing Station for CrimpCenter Series

The SLU 3000 sealing station is perfectly suited for applying weather seals on wire ends with the fully automatic cut strip terminate machines of the CrimpCenter series. The compact unit with its proven technology is specifically designed for high-speed processing of almost all seal types.

• Compact design
• Processing of almost all seal types
• Fast change-overs without any tools
• Short cycle times
• Optional seal-check available

Compacting Station – Resistant Welding

The Strunk KM-CFK welding station will compact (compress, form, and bond) stripped wire ends from 0.5 up to 6 mm² (20 AWG - 10 AWG) on the CrimpCenter 6-series machines through a resistance welding process. Depending on the CrimpCenter model, one or both wire ends can be compacted or the process can be combined with other processing steps. The system includes the KM-CFK station, a separate control unit and a separate (optional) cooling unit.

• Reliable compacting process
• Very short cycle times
• Easy adjusting for various wire cross sections
• Quality assurance with automatic data storage (optional PC controller)

Crimping Station for CrimpCenter Series

The UniCrimp 221 is a crimping station designed for high speed production on CrimpCenter series machines. The station includes integrated crimp force monitoring with the Schleuniger CFM 20 as well as a height adjustable base frame. It accepts most side- or rear-feed mini-style crimping applicators with either mechanical or pneumatic feed.

• Suited for precise high speed crimping
• Integrated crimp force monitoring
• Automatic crimp height adjustment
• Suitable for all standard crimp applicators

Tinning Station

The STS 1100 tinning station is designed specifically to resist the corrosive properties of lead-free solder. The station includes an integrated flux unit for tinning cross sections up to 2.5mm2 (14 AWG) and tinning lengths up to 5mm (0.2"). Cross sections up to 4 mm² (12 AWG) and tinning lengths up to 10 mm (0.39'') may be possible but testing should be done.

• Short cycle times
• Full control via CrimpCenter EASY operating software
• Designed for use with lead-free solder
• Consistently tinned diameters
• Wire cross sections up to 2.5 mm² (14 AWG), up to 4 mm² (12 AWG)
