Introduction
1.1 General Information
Fig. 1-1: General View
The RBK- X1 is semi-automatic units using an infrared process to heat shrink TE Connectivity ILS-125, ILS-
85 and QSZH products onto ultrasonically welded or crimped splices.
The equipment is designed to operate in conjunction with ultrasonic welders, positioned adjacent to the
welding head.
The heat chamber takes ILS and QSZH products from size 1 to 3A and has electrically heated quartz glass
elements which provide the heat source,
up to 600°C
. Operation of the chamber is prevented until its
temperature is
within 10°C
(editable) of the set operating temperature.
Activated by two start buttons, the heating chamber moves forward, enclosing the joint area. It remains in
place for the set timed period, and then returns to the rear rest position, automatically ejecting the wire
assembly with the RBK-ILS splice sealing product installed.
In the event of a power failure the heating chamber is retracted to the rear rest position.
The RS232 interface, allows
Time
,
Temperature
and
Product size
to be transferred from a remote
machine (e.g. ultrasonic welding equipment) or control computer.
Ten pre-set memory buttons can be programmed for local storage of Time, Temperature and
Product size. These can be selected individually, or selected in a set sequence by the operator.
Note:
500°C is the maximum recommended set temperature.
