Equipped with cutting-edge technology, always thinking from the user's perspective.
A control panel with excellent operability.
The movable panel can be rotated to match the worker's position, offering excellent operability and allowing for stress-free work.
Beautiful and easy-to-view large full-color LCD touch panel
It features a 10.4-inch (211.2mm x 158.4mm) full-color touchscreen. The interactive picture screen can display in eight languages: Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, Indonesian, Thai, and Vietnamese.
*The C551HXG supports five languages, and the C550SZ series supports six languages.
The three-blade design enableshigh processing speed and stable quality
(the C551SSA series has three parallel blades, and the C551HXG has three in-line blades).
By differentiating the cutting, tip stripping, and trailing edge stripping blades, we have achieved stable quality in the stripped coating and increased processing speed.
*The C551SSA series also allows selection of a processing mode using only the center blade, which is compatible with the conventional C551S series.
Pursuing overwhelming speed, it boasts an astonishing performance exceeding 10,000 lines/hour
(C551HXG *L=100mm)
The innovative inline design eliminates the loss of time during hand-switching motions, resulting in faster operation.
C551HXG
KODERA's proprietary HX applicator enables speedy setup changes
(C551HXG)
The lightweight, minimalist applicator stores a wealth of information, significantly reducing setup time.

"Visualize crimping pressure." Crimp force monitor is standard equipment
The crimping machine's ram is equipped with a load cell to accurately measure the crimping force (crimping pressure) for each individual terminal during crimping. The crimping machine's crankshaft is fitted with an encoder, and the measurement is controlled by angle, so there is no deviation in measurement timing due to voltage changes or other factors.
Automatic crimp force (crimp height) setting
(C551SSA series, C550SZ series)
Crimping quality is controlled by the crimp height. Crimp force (crimping pressure) correlates with crimp height.
By specifying the crimp force, the machine automatically adjusts the crimp height. Furthermore, with the optional CHA (Automatic Crimp Height Reproducibility) system, subsequent crimp heights can be reproduced simply by reading from memory. (The C550SZ series comes standard with CHA.)
Detailed settings are possible
You can arbitrarily set the upper and lower limits for the entire crimping pressure waveform. Furthermore, with the C551SSA series and C551HXG, you can individually set the upper and lower limits for two consecutive regions (region A and region B). It is also possible to ignore the carrier cut region, where pressure tends to be unstable, and flexible settings are available to accommodate minute pressure changes due to wire breakage, etc. Continuous operation is not hindered even when there are few pressure changes with small terminals or thin wires.
The percentage and position of the tolerance range can also be arbitrarily set. Flexible detection settings like those shown in the graph are possible. (*C55155A series, C551HXG)
Main crimping defects that can be detected with a crimp force monitor
| Breakage of the core wire | This is a state where a portion of the core wire has been cut off and crimped. |
| Cutting the core wire | This is the state after all the core wires have been cut off and crimped together. |
| Stripping failure | This is a state where the coating has not been stripped and the parts have been crimped together. |
| Core wire spillage | The core wire protrudes from the terminal barrel and is crimped in that state. |
| Pneumatic crimping | This shows the crimped state when there are no terminals at the crimping location. |
| Hit twice | This shows the same wire with the terminals crimped on twice. |
Features a shift-down mechanism that keeps the wire stable during crimping
(C551SSA series, C550SZ series)
By allowing the wire to sink during crimping, bending of the wire and misalignment of the crimping position are prevented, resulting in consistently stable crimping. Post-feed and pre-feed settings are also available.
Rollers that can be used for different purposes
Thick wires require a strong grip, while thin wires require a gentler grip.
We offer a range of rollers, from strongest to weakest, including coarse twill rollers, fine twill rollers, extra-fine twill rollers, sand shot rollers, and urethane rollers. Please choose the roller that best suits your wire.
One machine can process materials ranging from thick to thin
The compatible wire gauges offer an astonishingly wide range, from #12 to #32 (C551SSA series, C550SZ series) and #18 to #34 (C551HXG series). This allows for flexible handling of multi-product manufacturing.
Precise crimping using a guide pipe
The use of guide pipes allows the wire to be fixed and brought as close to the terminal as possible, resulting in more precise processing. Twelve different sizes are available to match the wire diameter: ⌀1, ⌀1.25, ⌀1.5, ⌀1.75, ⌀2, ⌀2.25, ⌀2.5, ⌀3, ⌀3.5, ⌀4, ⌀5, and ⌀6. (C551SSA series, C550SZ series)
Accurate dimensions with measurement correction
Although the machining dimensions may be shorter than the set value due to back tension and other factors, accurate machining is always possible through measurement compensation.
Flag terminals and closed barrel terminals can also be crimped
(C551SSA series, C550SZ series)
You can easily switch between standard terminal crimping, flag terminal crimping, and closed barrel terminal crimping via the screen settings.
Compatible with all applicators
The C551SSA and C550SZ series allow for one-touch attachment and detachment of applicators by using mounting bases tailored to each applicator manufacturer.
*The C551HXG uses a dedicated HX applicator.
The numerical values of the blades at the front and rear ends can be freely adjusted
Because the blade values for the tip side and the tail side can be set individually, it is very effective for processing special wire materials such as glass wire.
Problems caused by strip dust have drastically decreased
Carrier dust and strip dust are separated and deposited into the dustbin. Furthermore, the C551SSA and C551HXG series drastically reduce the scattering of coating debris thanks to their powerful suction. The new "cut after stripping" mode significantly reduces problems caused by strip dust remaining on the blade. Moreover, it has almost no impact on processing speed. (C551SSA series)
