Overview Fully automated wire processing including length-cutting, stripping, crimping with wire end ferrules and project-specific labelling. Supports order-specific picking into a dedicated storage system, output in wire rail sequence, chain-bundle output or just-in-time delivery via Wire Handling System (WHS).
Features - Available in six versions (L5 R, L5 B, L5 T, L10 R, L10 B, L10 T)
- Wire cross-sections: 0.5–2.5 mm² or 0.5–6 mm² depending on variant
- Three output options: wire rail system, chain bundle, Wire Handling System
- Linear-controlled stripping and crimping allowing full or partial stripping
- Advanced wire routing with infeed block equipped with RFID memory for secure, repeatable setup
Benefits - Time savings reported up to 50% when combined with Rittal Wire Terminal and Eplan Smart Wiring
- Accelerates production through full automation of wire processing
- Processing operations reported up to 11× faster (stated)
- Typical amortisation from approx. 150 enclosures/year (~2.5 years stated)
- Consistent high quality of processed wires
