Kappa 240 – Flexibility, performance, convenience
Introduction
The Kappa 240 redefines large gauge wire processing, with top value for the money clearly the operative phrase.The key issues are the broad application range as well as the ease of use and short conversion time.
Key features:
- Broad processing range
- Extremely short conversion times that make even the smallest batches economically feasible
- Options for flexible system expansion
- Simple and straightforward operation with LCDs, the same approach used throughout the Kappa family
- Extensive range of accessories, including feed units, PC software, ink-jet/hot-stamp marking and wire deposit systems
- Reliable top quality components for trouble-free operation
- Excellent price/performance ratio
Area of applications
The basic machine cuts and strips or unsheathes wires with cross-sections up to approx. 95mm² and multi-core cables with outside diameters of max. 30mm.
With the ultra-powerful 3-phase step motors, force is reliably applied to the wire you are processing via your choice of double roller drive or belt drive. Since you are free to choose from among the various types of roller drives and the wire drive, you are always assured the perfect solution for any requirement.
The user interface is a proven performer. Programming and saving all the data is very easy, so wires only have to be programmed once. And to keep conversion time to a minimum, all guide parts are designed to be changed without tools.
Technology
The programmable stripping head swivels, permitting the same V blades to be used over the entire processing range. Stranded wires up to 35mm2 in size and multi-core cables with outside diameters up to 15mm are cut directly by the stripping blades.
Larger diameters and cross-sections up to 95mm² will be cutted with the pneumatic 10kN cutting head. The cutting head uses V blades of the same type as those in the stripping head.
The Kappa 240 has no trouble accommodating larger stripping lengths either, up to 999,9mm on both sides. In these cases, the wire insulation is slit on one side by the slitting head (optional) and cut into by the stripping blades. As a result, the insulation remains on the wire, keeping it safe from damage until further processing commences.
The Kappa 240 is highly accurate in terms of length and repetition. To ensure that the toughest length accuracy requirements can be met on even thick, soft wires, the Kappa 240 has a length measurement system. It is fitted with an encoder that makes all the needed corrections.
User friendly
The durable Kappa 240 production table (optional) sets new standards in operating convenience. All guide parts and tools can be tucked away in the table drawer. The table also has a funnel-shaped duct through which insulation scraps fall directly into the waste cart below for easy disposal.
The Komax 280 deposit system deposits wires up to 3.5m in length and with outside diameters as large as 30mm. In the smaller Komax 270 version, this system has performed very well on previous models of the Kappa machines.

Wire 1:
stranded wire with 35mm² H07V-K, partial pull-off 20/10mm on both ends,
no swivelling of stripping head, without cutting head
Wire 2:
wire GD 5×6mm2,

Accessories
Included in the delivery are a set of guide parts as selected by the customer and the specified drive rollers. The guide parts range from 4 to 32mm; feed rollers available in steel, knurled and as elastomer models.
Wire guidance is a crucial factor with the wire gages the Kappa 240 processes. The RA 800/300 wire de-reeler is just the system for the task. Even larger systems are available on request.
