HEAT SHRINK TUBING FOR AUTOMOTIVE APPLICATIONS TE AUTOMOTIVE /// WHITE PAPER 9 ES-CAP • Mechanically tough jacket provides strain relief and abrasion protection • Adhesive lined product to environ- mentally seal stub splices • Highly resistant to automotive fluids and solvents • High srink ratio - three sizes cover a broad range of stub splices End Splice Many automotive harness suppliers produce a basic harness after which the harness is modified to meet the requested speci- fication of the vehicle. Sub harnesses are added which requires electrical connec- tions being realised on the assembly line. Ultrasonic and crimped connections require sealing. ES Caps can provide an on-board solu- tion to this requirement and they can be installed using especially designed equipment. Sealing Application Challenge facing Products: Application Tooling manufacturers Features + Benefits IR-1891 Shuttle Machine • Automatic cycle start once heater is man- ually positioned over product, which gives improved process control (recommended for adhesive lined heat shrinkable tubing e.g. sealing applications) • Automatic heating head retraction at end of cycle prevents damage to compo- nents • Multiple product fixture assemblies give increased process rates • Cooling fan above each fixture assembly maintains holding fixture at an accept- able temperature • Compliant with latest CE and RoHs require- ments RBK-ILS Processor MKIII • Long life heating elements • Installation param- eters and product size information (individual selection) • Operator key lock / password protection levels • Automatic heater retraction on mains failure (updated safety feature) • Automatic calibration (single cycle) • RS232 interface to receive information for the next installa- tion from an ultrasonic welding tool • Pre-installed con- nection for an optional air-cooling-device • Signal output "0" volt (n/c and n/o) which can be send to a server, local PC or customer intranet • Machine hours and installation cycle counters • Software upgradeable to support special applications • Integrated SW- safety-features to provide safeness during processing • Compliant with latest CE and RoHs require- ments CV-Obhat 1600 W Stub-System • Capable of producing sealed stub and in-line splices on-board • Wire support and cap holding fixtures integral part of pistol • Small footprint on harness board • Lightweight pistol connected to controller with 6 m umbilical • Audible signal at end of installation cycle • Control system incorporating audible and visual process safety alarms • Programmable heat cycle start temperature • Optional board locking capability Model 105 • Closed-loop speed and temperature control • Continuous controlled process • Adaptable for different applications • CE approved • Heater operation and over-temperature alarm lights * (black only) +125° C -40° C 2:1 +135° C
