Who is the CS-1100 for?
The CS-1100 is ideal for companies who use MI cable for the production of temperature sensors. The cutting and straightening of MI cables is a highly skilled, labor-intensive and time-consuming task. The CS 1100 is the first machine to combine multiple steps of the MI sensor production process and execute them automatically.
What makes the CS-1100 different from other products?
The CS-1100 combines straightening and cutting in one machine. We guarantee a nearly burr-free cut of the MI cable ends. Making extra work to remove rims redundant.
Furthermore the machine can maintain a production queue, which allows it to automatically move from one job to the next.
We are working on the development of the successor to the CS-1100, which will also be able to strip the MI cable and MGO powder from the ends of the MI cable pieces.
What does the CS-1100 production queue mean?
The software provides the operator with the option to add jobs to a queue, allowing the machine to automatically move on to the next job once the current job is finished, reducing the need for manual intervention and increasing efficiency. It is, for example, possible to move from cutting 100 10 cm pieces of MI cable to cutting 200 pieces of 20 cm MI cable. This queue is maintained in the easy-to-use touchscreen interface.
What kind of cutting mechanism is utilized in the CS-1100 machine?
Our CS-1100 machine utilizes two specialized cutting discs, with our first option designed for precision and efficiency. This disc, incorporating a blend of silica and carbon, boasts a fine grain size. This fine granularity, akin to the coarseness found in sandpaper, allows for effective cutting but with a wear rate that is accelerated when compared to our second disc made of alumina oxide. Despite this, its wear characteristics are commendably superior within the wider market. The disc’s performance is further enhanced by a meticulously chosen bonding agent, ensuring durability and a balance between longevity and precise cutting capability.
The second cutting disk we recommend is one that primarily consists of alumina oxide, which enables the quick generation of a sharp edge. As a result, it has low overall resistance and generates very little heat. This disc also makes use of a hard bonding agent. We anticipate a longer lifespan for this cutting wheel when cutting smaller MI cable diameters.
Lastly, to achieve a flawless, perfectly straight cut, we employ a clamping mechanism designed to securely hold the cable during the cutting process. This mechanism is of paramount significance as it effectively prevents any wobbling of the MI cable during cutting.
Can the CS-1100 be customized to fit specific needs?
We do not support customization requests. Our focus is to enhance the complete CS-range.
Which additional products work together with the CS-1100?
We offer a spool holder and product collector, to make working with the CS-1100 even easier.
The spool holder holds the MI cable spool in place, which allows the machine to smoothly pull the cable through during the cutting and straightening process. Most spool holders are known to cause tangling or snarling of the cable, our spool holder is perfectly compatible with the machine, providing a seamless and efficient workflow that minimizes downtime and maximizes productivity.
The collector is used to neatly collect and organize the straightened cables, making it easy to handle and transport them.
