Overview
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)
Processing Capabilities
- Compacting one or both wire ends (CrimpCenter 64, CrimpCenter 67, CrimpCenter 67 HD16)
- Wire List Processing
Application Range
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. The stripped wire end is positioned in the tooling of the compacting station by the swivel arm of the CrimpCenter. The individual strands are compacted between vertically installed electrodes. On both sides, ceramic plates determine the compacting width. Change-over of electrodes and ceramic plates for different wire cross sections is easy and fast. Welding parameters can be monitored during the entire process and saved for quality checking when using the optional PC control unit.
The standard KM-CFM compacting station includes the following items:
- KM-CFK compacting station with base frame
- Transformer 50 Hz
- 50 Hz power section (thyristor based) or inverter for mid-/high frequency
- Board-based controller
- Electrode kit for one wire cross section
