The “Shrinking Tube Control System – Vertical Movement”(STCS-VM) is a shrinking system for heat shrinking tubes, with control and monitoring, based on hot air devices.

The system is designed for large production requirements, since it can perform several shrinking operations at the same time. It also has an exchangeable shrinking chamber, locked by key, which is replaced very easy and quickly. This feature makes he system extremely flexible, since the same equipment can be used for several types of applications (e.g. normal sleeves, end-splices, ring terminals, etc.), changing only the shrinking chamber.

FEATURES:

• Adjustable parameters: process temperature, shrinking time, waiting time, etc;
• 2 different operating modes: continuous and preprogrammed references;

The “Shrinking Tube Control System – Conveyor System 19” (STCS-CS 19) is a shrinking system for heat shrinking tubes, with control and monitoring, based on infrared
resistors.

The system has a conveyor, that has 2 sets of timing belts that grips the wires with the sleeves and carries them inside an infrared oven for the shrinking process, then they are passed by a cooling zone and are deposit in a collection bin. This feature makes it ideal for large production requirements, since the throughput is determined by the rate at which the operator can load the assemblies.

Features:

• Adjustable parameters: process temperature, shrinking time, cooling temperature; etc;
• Easy to use, easy to program. Use of labels for the shrinking time of a reference, in order to assist the operator;
• 2 different operating modes: continuous and preprogrammed references;

• Can be supplied with a special kit for ring terminals

The “Shrinking Tube Control System Ring Terminal (STCS-RT) is a shrinking system designed for processing heat shrinking tubes, based on infrared resistors.

The system has two workstations and a moveable oven. Each workstation is provided with support for tooling fixtures that can be used on to a variety od small components, such as ring terminals and small connectors, etc.

The operator loads the workpieces into the features in one of the workstations. Each workstation has a stopper that ensures the sleeves’ position. Once the workstation is loaded the operator presses two buttons and the oven slides into positon and performs the shrink. The operator then continues with loading/unloading the other workstation.

During the shrinking process the oven is locked into position and after the process it slides to the original position.

Features:

• Adjustable parameters: process temperature, shrinking time, etc;
• Easy to use, easy to program. Use of labels for the shrinking time of a reference, in order to assist the operator;
