The KTB E PLUS electric bundling machine has been continuously developed by Komax. The intelligent gripper fixture automatically detects the cross section of the inserted wire set and adjusts the required belt length, reducing setup time to a minimum during product changeovers. Individual process parameters can be set via the machine's control panel, enabling flexible and efficient work. In manual mode, up to five different programs can be stored. Compared to manual insulation, the machine saves over 60% of the production time. The KTB E PLUS guarantees consistently high quality and is therefore the perfect solution for subcontractors producing wire harnesses for the automotive industry.

Easy handling – high performance: The KTB E Endsplice was specially developed for insulating end splices. Based on the tried-and-tested technology of the KTB E PLUS, it ensures short process times and minimal tape usage. As soon as the cable is introduced into the machine, its thickness is detected automatically. The KTB E Endsplice can then dispense the optimum length of tape. If another wire set is inserted, the machine does not have to be set up again. It is also possible to program the length of tape and the number of times the tape needs to be wrapped around the splice. This means that the KTB E Endsplice can ensure a consistently high quality standard and is indispensable in the professional production of cables for the automotive industry.

After removing the cables from the twisting machine, the KTB E TWIST SPOT applies spot tape according to your specifications to fix the open ends of twisted pair wires. Automation saves up to 50% of the production time compared to manual processes. The machine has an automatic diameter detection system that always guarantees the required tape length. The highest quality and process reliability characterizes the KTB E TWIST SPOT. A sensor-controlled stop ensures reproducible insertion of the wire. The distance between the front edge of the terminal and the beginning of the spot tape can be variably adjusted. The device is, therefore, also the optimum solution for processing critical cable cross-sections.

The EK series electric bundlers are based on the KTB 50 E PLUS technology. In addition to the proven advantages, such as short process cycles and flexibility in processing diverse strips, the unit can be integrated into the production sequence with the welding module. The required tape lengths are transmitted by communicating with the welding machine, which reduces operator influence and optimizes the process. A sensor checks whether the insulation is in place, ensuring reliable processing of cables even with critical cable cross-sections. The tape is cut with a self-cleaning shear blade. In addition, maintenance intervals are automatically displayed to ensure optimum operating times.

With the EK series, Komax is responding to the increasing demands of the automotive industry concerning the insulation of welded joints. The KTB 50 EK end splice, in particular, ensures the insulation of end nodes. In this process, a sensor checks whether the insulation is present to ensure reliable processing and enable efficient processing of critical cable cross sections. The required strip lengths are automatically transmitted by communicating with the welding machine, reducing operator influence and optimizing the manufacturing process. The handling of cables and welded joints is designed to be efficient and stress-free. The machine has an automatic display of maintenance intervals to ensure upkeep.

The KTB E9P/E19P V2 features a low process time of only 1.8 seconds, reducing production time by 60% compared to manual spot taping. The intelligent tape extrusion system enables tension-free processing of the adhesive tape. The KTB E9P/E19P crimper is also available as a complete system. It can be purchased together with a robot or on an X-Y-Z traverse. Thanks to its special functionality, it can be used in any installation position. Even short sections can be bundled reliably with a bundling head width of only 34 mm. As a result, the KTB E9P/E19P crimping machines ensure consistently high quality and are the ideal solution for subcontractors producing wire harnesses for the automotive industry.

The KTB 50 P compressed air-driven spot taping machine offers full power without electricity for the tying of wire harnesses and the fixing and marking of cables. The efficient, low-wear cutting blade system, the sturdy design, and the pneumatic drive make this a low-maintenance machine. In addition, up to four layers of adhesive tape can be set, and material costs of up to 80% can be saved compared to shrink tubing or caps. The machine requires a minimum of space due to the compactly installed components. The pneumatic connection is located directly on the device, eliminating the need for a separate control cabinet. All adjustments are made directly on the machine, facilitating operation and maintenance.

The KTS 50 A tape dispenser, specially developed for industrial belts with high unwinding force, can adjust the speed to different tape materials with a width of 9 – 50 mm. It is easy to use thanks to a touch panel for entering parameters – with a manual mode with five different lengths to choose from, single or in sequence, as well as an automatic mode for communicating with a higher-level system. Due to its compact design, the KTS 50 A can be easily placed on the welding table next to the board and thus offers a cost-effective solution for the often confined space in wire harness production. The device is versatile and can be used universally – ideal for use in different production lines.

The KTS 50 Comfort reliably dispenses thick or highly adhesive tapes that require high peel-off forces. Thanks to the individually adjustable and storable tape types – easy, normal or hard to pull off – the respective program is quickly accessed when changing the tape. The tape dispenser also stands out for its high level of flexibility: Up to 12 different sequences can be stored with user-defined tape lengths on the touch panel. The programmable tape length ranges from 30 to 9,999 millimeters. After the tape is pulled off, the corresponding lengths are output sequentially. The KTS Comfort series is sturdy and equipped with high-quality components, such as the low-maintenance shear blade, ensuring reliable performance.
