HIGH QUALITY MACHINES
FOR HEATING ELEMENTS PRODUCTION

The plug to pin assembly machines has been designed by KANTHAL®MACEDONIA Machinery for the assembly of plastic plug to the bottom terminal pins. These are designed to enhance the production process in line with modern production needs. These units are best suited to customers having manual or semi-automatic welding of terminal pins to coils.

The plug to pin assembly machine is available in two versions:

automatic: it is an electro-pneumatic device to assemble automatically the plastic plugs on the bottom terminal pins. An automatic vibrating feeder for plastic plugs requires presence of the operator only for a reload of feeders or eventual clearing up of a jammed plug
manual: it is an electro pneumatic device, with manual loading, to assemble automatically the plastic plugs on the bottom terminal pins
The unit assembles and welds two terminal pins to a coil as well as locating the bottom sealing plug onto the pin. Faulty or non assembled parts are automatically sorted out.

As an option, the KMMA can be equipped with resistance measuring (stretching the coil, measuring resistance and on the same time making a simple check that the coil is welded) of the ready unit after welding.

The normal cycle time is appr 3,5-4,0 s. Normal production during an eight-hour shift would be around 5000 – 6000 pcs.

This machine is only suitable for large batches, e g above 5 000 or 10 000 coils. Otherwise, the set-up time will become too important. However, if only the coil length varies, there is no need for a new set-up.

One week commissioning is a recommended option.
