KIRSTEN PP3 Special LTC
Cable Strip and Crimp Machine

Centering device and vacuum holder with transfer unit

The following parts can (but must not necessarily or only partially) be changed for different terminals:

• Bowl of bowl feeder
• Guiding rail
• Feeding hose with vacuum holder
• Tool (applicator)

Change-over time (it all 4 items have to be changed): 10 minutes

To submit a quotation or in case of order we need:

• Approx. 1000 loose turned contacts (of each type)
• Exact designation of terminals and crimp specs.
• Approx. 3 m (10 ft) of wire per cross section
• Wire gauge ranges

For loose turned contacts (individual, machined terminals)

For cross sections from 0.09-1.5 mm² (28-16 AWG)

Strip and Crimp in one process

The PP3 special LTC handles loose turned contacts. The terminals are sorted and correctly positioned in a bowl feeder and brought into a vacuum holder feeding rail. The individual terminal is then fed into the vacuum holder. The operator touches the sensor with the wire, which initiates and starts the machine. The wire is firmly held in position by the cable clamping device. The stripping knives cut the insulation and remove it from the conductor. The terminal is brought forward in front of the conductor with a compound slide. The strands are guided through a self centering chuck into the terminal and concentrically crimped with a standard crimp or, alternatively, with a 4-, 6- or 8-point indent crimp. The crimped terminal is then ejected.

Safety regulations according to DIN 31001.
The PP3 is built as a toggle press. Top and bottom part of the tool (applicator) move towards the conductor in an opposite mode. Machine cycle (stroke) is initiated by sensor or foot pdeal in special cases.
