Q1250

With the Q1250 module, Komax has achieved a new dimension in optical quality monitoring. The intelligent and fully automatic system enables comprehensive monitoring of the crimping process. In a first step, the Q1250 checks every wire end for correct stripping and seal insertion before crimping. The Q1250 then carries out additional quality checks after the crimping process. Visual checking by the operator is largely eliminated. This means that the required quality features are checked automatically and comprehensively.

Innovative technology

An innovative image evaluation algorithm analyzes the high-resolution color image and reliably detects any crimped-on or protruding strands. Using intelligent color recognition, the system also checks whether any insulation is in the crimp and whether sufficient conductor brush length is available.

Full quality control

Initially, the strip quality and the seal insertion (where applicable) are checked as the swivel arm travels towards the crimping module. On the way back, the Q1250 checks the crimp quality within just fractions of a second. During this process, inspections are made for copper overhangs, crimped-on and protruding strands at each end of the wire. The Q1250 therefore provides full control of the production batch. The visual check of the parameterized quality features by the operator is eliminated. All quality features can be tracked and recorded.
