TWISTING
Twisting of pairs, trios and mini-harnesses are accomplished
semi-automatically with the aid of a foot activated control
that gives the operator the convenience of having both hands
free to insert and withdraw wires. The operator merely inserts
the wire ends into an air collet at the front of the machine
and secures them into position by depressing the first stage
foot switch. Depressing the second stage of the two stage foot
switch then activates a timer controlled motor to complete the
twisting operation.
WIRE HOLDING CLAMP 502
Optional remote air clamp holds the second end of the wires
during twisting, providing more consistent results and reducing
operator fatigue. Clamp mounts remotely, and allows twisting
of wires 4" to 180". Low pressure air cylinder compensates
for wire takeup when twisting, and tension is adjustable with
low-pressure air regulator. Toggle switch activates clamp independent
of twister controls. Available as single-head (502S)
or dual-head (502D) models.
FOOTSWITCH ASSEMBLIES
Standard is "Type D", a heavy-duty two-stage footswitch with
7' cord to the twister machine. First stage activates wire-gripping
adapter, second stage activates motor and starts the turns counter.
Other footswitch configurations, with separated pedals are available
for twisting longer wires.
SPECIAL NOTES:
Model 2250 incorporates a variable-speed high-torque motor.
Slow speeds (50 RPM) are used for short wires; higher speeds
(up to 2250 RPM) for high production rates of longer wires.
Reversing switch, cycle counter, and built-in air regulator
are standard.
Electrical requirement is 120 VAC, 60Hz. Compressed
air supply should not exceed 60 PSI. For best results a filtered
and dry air supply is recommended.
Samples and details of your particular wire twisting
requirements are welcome for evaluation and procedure recommendations
