The STCS-evo500TS is an evolution of MECALBI's evo500 system, based on infrared technology and designed for workbench applications.
The equipment processes one part at a time and combines heat shrink process control, reference programming, calibration and network communication in a compact solution for industrial production.
Using the touchscreen display, operators can configure process parameters, select references and monitor equipment operation.
The MECALBI STCS-evo500TS uses infrared technology to provide controlled heat shrink processing.
The main process parameters can be adjusted according to the application, including process temperature and shrinking time.
The working temperature can be set between 250 and 550 °C, while the shrinking time can be configured from 1 to 100 seconds.
The system also provides manual and automatic calibration and includes a connection for an external temperature probe for temperature readings and offset adjustment.
One of the key features of the STCS-evo500TS is its additional M3 operating mode, associated with the SDD system.
The SDD system detects the diameter of the product and automatically sets the heat shrink parameters. This reduces the need for manual adjustments and makes it easier to adapt the process to different products.
The SDD system is available as an option for the STCS-evo500TS.
The STCS-evo500TS supports up to 999 pre-programmed references, simplifying repeat production and the management of different products.
References can be programmed:
During production, references can be selected manually on the touchscreen or automatically using a barcode reader.
This functionality reduces manual adjustments and helps maintain consistent process parameters across different production batches and references.
The MECALBI STCS-evo500TS provides different operating modes:
This structure allows the level of process automation to be adapted to the characteristics of the products and production requirements.
The STCS-evo500TS has been developed with a strong focus on connectivity and industrial integration.
The equipment provides:
The HDMI port allows the system display to be mirrored on an external monitor.
OPC UA communication is also available as an option, allowing the equipment to be integrated into compatible industrial architectures.
The STCS-evo500TS can also communicate with ultrasonic welding equipment, facilitating the integration of the heat shrink process into a cable harness production sequence.
The MECALBI STCS-evo500TS is designed for industrial heat shrink tubing processing in cable harness production.
Typical applications include:
The STCS-evo500TS can be configured with different options to meet specific application requirements:
To support process stability, the STCS-evo500TS provides manual and automatic calibration.
The equipment includes a connection for an external temperature probe, allowing temperature readings and offset adjustment.
The automatic cooling cycle contributes to extending component life. The system also features a dedicated maintenance mode and password-protected programming.
