Processing machine PWA6000

Overview
Wire Processing Center optimizes wire production, reducing processing time by up to 75%. The PWA6000 fully automates cutting to length, stripping, crimping, marking and bundling of wires. The machine features internal automated wire feeding with 12 spools (4 external and 8 internal) and supports an external storage accessory to feed additional wires without using internal spools, reducing spool change time. The machine places ferrules on both ends and marks each end. Finished wires are bundled on adhesive tape in a predefined order to optimize order picking and downstream assembly. The automated prefabrication process is intended to optimize panel wiring and reduce costs.

Key Features

• Human Machine Interface with 21.5-inch touchscreen
• Automated wire feeding with 12 spools (4 external and 8 internal)
• External accessory for storage of additional wires to feed the machine and reduce switching times
• Electropneumatic stripper and crimping with 5-way magazine for processing insulated wire end ferrules on a reel
• Crimping length adjustable to 8 mm or 10 mm
• Finished wires can include ferrules on both ends without manual intervention
• Wire marking system with direct printing on each end; marked with blue ink suitable for most wire colours
• Processable wire cross-section from 0.5 mm² up to 2.5 mm² (AWG 20–14) without set-up times
• Production speed: approximately 120 wires/hour including both wire ends
• Machine software includes Personal Wiring Suit as an intuitive programming system for the PWA6000
• External accessory for storage and transport of finished wires to the panel shop; accessory includes a screen to visualise panel wiring (source, target and routing)
• Interfaces with eCAD systems (IGE XAO, ePlan ProPanel, ZUKEN E3, WS-CAD or similar) or CSV/Excel files
