SIGMA 688 ST

Twister

SIGMA 688 ST

The fully automatic Sigma 688 ST not only twists precise wires, but also automatically fixes both wire ends in the same process step for transport and further processing.

The Sigma 688 ST automatic twisting machine enables the processing of wires, to twisting, to fixing the open wire ends in just one device. In this way, it meets all OEM quality requirements in a fullyautomatic overall process. The modular system structure offers maximum flexibility with six stations for process modules such as crimp or seal elements, as well as a twisting process and a spot taping unit consisting of two spot taping modules. The quality remains high due to integrable safety systems such as the Q1250i, and the fixing of both open cable ends enables dimensionally accurate work in downstream process steps. The Sigma 688 ST offers reproducible high quality with short set-up and changeover times.

Precise twisting even for wires with short, open ends

If short, open ends are required for further processing of the wires, these are also precisely manufactured– even with different open wire ends.

 

Quality assurance by means of ACD incision monitoring

The optional high-precision fully automatic incision monitoring detects the smallest contact between the blade and conductor strands when processing copper and aluminum cables.

 

Reproducible processes thanks to adjustable parameters

Reproducibility is important for efficient production. That's why the changing of wires is ensured by clearly readable and precisely adjustable parameters.

 

Specific wire assembly for the highest demands

Sigma 688 ST handles the entire wire end processing with a high level of process reliability and stability and produces, for example, bundled UTP wires in OEM quality.
