Turnkey cabling with 3D design software

Innovation and care for the environment are the driving forces behind our products and our company. Many of our products are developed based on co-engineering with our customers. We are happy to take you behind the scenes of how we optimize our production processes continuously. For example, we invested in a Komax cable machine, an automation solution for wire making.

Komax cuts, strips and labels each wire.

Production Manager Amédée Mouton: “The Komax is a machine that cuts, strips, crimps and labels electrical wires. Our panel builders receive a customized wire, which saves them a lot of preparatory work: cutting the wire to size, exposing copper, crimping cable lugs, labeling… A lot less manual work as well as saving time so that they don’t have to look at the plan every time to see which wire goes where. So our craftsmen can use their knowledge and practical experience for what really matters and think along with the engineers about a design, rather than having to cut wires to size.”

Wire confection: the advantages at a glance

• Faster cabling in the workshop and avoiding errors.
• economic just-in-time production from a batch of 1.
• Wire sorting in the correct order for the follow-up process.
• Shorter lead times and better quality.

Machine controlled by 3D design software

Yvan Lammens: “The data needed by the Komax comes directly from our electrical CAD software to define the cable lists, lengths of wires, connection points, and so on. Each wire is customized and marked with start and end points. We can provide wires up to 6mm² with this machine (10mm² is possible with modification). Worldwide there are at most three that offer this.”
