Hot air: Shrinking Tube Control System

The aim of automated shrinking of heat shrink tubing is to reduce processing time and increase quality. To achieve this, our hot air products are a good starting option. They are produced and installed according to customer-specific requirements.

Technical Data

Hot air: Shrinking Tube Control System

The VM and BWT Series with customer-specific product holder enables the processing of several products at the same time. This leads to a time reduction of 50 to 70 %. During processing time an operator can load and unload the product holder.

Technical Data

Infrared shrinking device to work at the assembly board

Easy to use and reliable in result. The device is used directly on the assembly board to shrink the shrink tubing. Infrared radiation, instead of hot air, shortens the process time. The parameters can be selected by means of a bar code reader.

Infrared: Shrinking Tube Control System

The evo500TS is the bestseller in the STCS Series. It is characterised by an extraordinarily high processing speed. The enclosure of the tube leads quickly to a constant temperature around the heat shrink tubing. A reasonable result is achieved within seconds. The STCS-RCM offers an additional centering function, which pushes the tube automatically above the uninsulated area.

Infrared Shrinking Tube Control System

The compact and lightweight STCS-CS14 is ideal for high production quantities. The touch display enables convenient operation. Networking is possible via an Ethernet interface. The ISAC14 is an add-on for the integration into the STCS-CS14 in order to have the heat shrink tube automatically centered on the sealing zone and check whether a tube with the correct length is being used.

Infrared: Shrinking Tube Control System

The CS19 shrinking system is the ideal choice for processing medium or high volumes. It is designed for workbench applications and can process several parts at the same time. The system has a conveyor with two sets of timing belts that grips the wires with the sleeves and feeds them into an infrared oven for the shrinking process. The assemblies are then carried through a cooling zone and deposited in a collection bin. The parameters can be easily set and controlled.

Infrared Workbench Shrink System

The STCS-VMir is a heat shrink system, based on infrared technology. It is designed for workbench applications and can process several parts at the same time. The same machine can be used on several applications, since it is equipped with a fast exchangeable shrinking chamber system. The STCS-VMir+ is a variation of the VMirs with a larger shrink chamber.

Infrared: Shrinking Tube Control System

The RT und CRT versions hold and position the cable, connector and heat shrink tube. Due to the dual chamber, the operator can load and unload one side whilst the other is processed. A variety of products can be processed at the same time.

Technical Data

Shrink tunnel

The STCS-LC (Longitudinal Conveyor) is a heat shrink system based on infrared resistors, which is able to process several and different types of parts at the same time. Different from any other, the LC guarantees flexibility by shrinking virtually almost everything. From normal splices to special applications, one single machine can do it all.
