Secure Cable Production
The programmable crimping machine ProLine 640 LC EXTENDED impresses with a variety of functions and the latest safety features for top-notch cable production. The machine’s special feature is a safety light curtain that creates a virtual barrier around hazardous areas. Operating the machine is therefore easier than ever, as there is excellent visibility of the process and no physical barriers hinder the workflow. This contactless protective device reliably protects the operating personnel, allowing the feeding of the wire to be processed and stopping when entering hazardous areas.

Programmable Positions
High flexibility in cable production is enabled by the servo drives in the stripping unit, crimping unit, and transverse stroke. Combined with the integrated recipe management, this allows for easy switching to predefined productions. The parameters for processing different cable variants are fully stored, such as stripping and zero-cut lengths, as well as the positions for crimping and removing the cable.

Precise Preparation
The foundation for the excellent crimping results of the ProLine 640 LC EXTENDED is created by the precise preparation in the stripping unit. For zero-cut and stripping, the machine is equipped with separate blades. This also results in lower operating costs due to longer part lifespans and reduced machine downtime. For quality assurance, the stripping unit is standardly equipped with a bad part cutting function, which is triggered by the optionally integrable crimp force monitoring.

Easy Setup
The machine is designed for the use of all common crimping applicators and is equipped with a quick-release mechanism for tool-free clamping. The proven handwheel is included to perform the movements of the terminal feed and the crimping process for function and collision testing. The horizontally installed terminal strip chopper allows for easy insertion of the carrier strip, thus simplifying setup. Additionally, potential influences on crimping results due to the deflection of the carrier strip are safely avoided.

Robust Design
The ProLine 640 LC EXTENDED stands out with high rigidity for maximum precision in cable production. This ensures high-quality results even with high press forces and complex applications. The workspace is generously designed for high flexibility during retooling and for individual expansion options.

Modern User Interface
The control system with a large touchscreen features an intuitive user interface for easy and safe operation of the machine in various languages. The selection of different user roles and operating modes, as well as functions for machine networking, enable flexible and modern process flows.

High Operator Safety
The safety of the operator during the operation of the crimping machine is ensured by a state-of-the-art safety concept. Removing protective covers and entering hazardous areas behind the light curtain interrupts the electrical safety circuit, halting the processing process. Furthermore, the machine fully complies with European directives regarding mechanical and electrical safety as well as electromagnetic compatibility.
