Product catalog summary
Overview
The Sigma 688 is a fully automatic twisting machine designed for the production of unshielded twisted pairs (UTP) wires, offering high data transfer speeds suitable for applications like CAN FD, CAN XL, MOST, FlexRay, or Automotive Ethernet. It builds on the proven technology of its predecessors, the Alpha 488 S and Sigma 688 ST, ensuring process security and stability.

Key Features
  • Automation and Efficiency: Capable of fully automatic UTP production by one person, the machine simplifies operations with a common parts strategy, reducing training and maintenance efforts.
  • Flexibility: The modular structure allows configuration of up to six process modules, providing maximum flexibility for various production needs.
  • Quality Assurance: Integrated systems like visual strip quality monitoring ensure OEM-compliant quality, with long-term support guaranteed by Komax.
  • Innovative Technology: Utilizes EtherCAT real-time technology for optimal processes and includes features like the integrated twist force analyzer (TFA) and delta length analyzer (DLA) for precise wire handling.

Technical Specifications
  • Wire Length: Ranges from 700 mm to 10,000 mm, with optional lengths available.
  • Wire Cross-Sections: Supports 2 × 0.22 mm² to 2 × 2.5 mm², with options for smaller cross-sections.
  • Operating Conditions: Requires an electrical connection of 3 × 208 – 480 V / 50 – 60 Hz / 10 kVA and compressed air connection of 5 – 8 bar.
  • Noise Level: Less than 80 dB without the crimp module.

Maintenance and Operation
  • Ease of Maintenance: The common parts strategy simplifies spare parts logistics, and the machine design allows easy access for maintenance.
  • User Interface: Features a graphical user interface for quick and safe operation, with a swiveling operator console for improved ergonomics.

Market Position
Komax, as a market leader in automated wire processing, offers innovative solutions with a global presence, ensuring flexible and efficient production through its comprehensive range of machinery, tools, and software solutions.
