Automation System SpeedLine INDIVIDUAL

With the SpeedLine crimping machines, Schäfer offers innovative swivel arm wire processing machines for high productivity and diverse applications. The modular platform was developed for different machine variants to provide maximum flexibility for customer-specific requirements. Minimal machine downtime, ergonomic working heights, and the safety concept were the main focus.

The machine variants are divided into standard models for typical applications and custom configurations for complex solutions. This crimping machine falls into the standard models category and offers equipment for typical cable productions with up to 4 stations. Various machine configurations can be selected from additional options to achieve reproducible and complex cable processing.

To ensure product quality, Schäfer offers optional extensions. The crimp force monitoring module reliably evaluates the quality of crimp connections. The conductor quality monitoring reports defective parts due to faulty stripping, and the optical cable quality monitoring inspects the produced cables.

The WireStar HMI software supports optimum process sequences through its user-friendly operator interface and constant data availability from previous productions. Interaction via the modern user interface is done via a touchscreen and offers a safe handling of the machine.

WireStar‘s excellent networkability contributes to central process coordination and supports through extensive and configurable database management. The integrated networking with Schäfer Connect facilitates process coordination with the operator‘s planning system for resources (e.g. ERP). The dashboard can also be used to display status, production progress and material consumption independent of the installation location.
