Overmoulding protects cables and assemblies
The Werner Wirth overmoulding machine operates with both cable preparation and PCB assembly equipment, moulding strain reliefs, connector shells and grommets onto electrical cables.
Both models allow the user to change product without downtime and include intelligent feeders with an LED indicator for stock and status management.
The new FLX1020/1030 can run at full speed inline, or using the unique board handling system software, they can be set up as two independent placement systems.
This enables each system to produce two smaller, different batches simultaneously.
Integrated optimisation software allows the feeders to be programmed via a wireless barcode reader and ensures that components are correctly set up.
It also provides real-time management of the entire component stock both on the machine and on the shelf, and generates online machine data to ensure that the entire system operates at maximum efficiency.
Optional glue and/or solder paste dispensing applications can be integrated into any of the modules, making this machine the ideal choice for prototyping jobs, or double sided board applications.
The model FLX1020 can also be later upgraded to a FLX1030 model directly in the field, therefore providing the highest possible investment protection for its users.
