Superb twisting quality and high speed – these are the hallmarks of the bt 188 T and bt 288 semiautomatic twisting machines from Komax. They are also easy to operate, a ttractively priced and guarantee fantastic performance. The bt 288 features two twisting lines, making it the perfect solution for fficient e wire set processing – even where large q uantities are involved. When combined with the new optional spot taping unit, the bt 188 T binds both wire ends using cloth or PVC tape. Fast, flexible and easy to use – imple, intuitive operation S – igh production speed with one operator H – rocess...

bt 288 – for maximum productivity The Komax bt 288 is based on the proven and tested technology of the bt 188 T. With a second twisting line, this semi automatic twisting machine offers virtually double the production efficiency without any reduction in processing quality. And with its small footprint, it takes up hardly any space at all. The bt 288 c alculates the cut length automatically and – in conjunction with the flat gripper option – can be used to twist three or four wires. The intuitive software (operated via touchscreen) enables you to save the twisting parameters. Thanks to the MIKO...
