Metzner Triathlon S 0525/1060
More efficiency & cost savings in control cabinet construction
Automatic wire change:
12-fold
Wire output:
chain bundle and/or wire rails
Max. number of wire rails:
5 pcs.
Cycle time: 11 s
Automation with Economic Potential, Even for Small Production Runs
Wire output as cable bundles or in ducts: always in the correct order!
The produced wires are optionally placed either between two adhesive tapes as cable bundles with different cross-sections from 0.5 mm² to 6 mm² or in wire ducts. No matter which output form you choose, the wires are always arranged according to the sequence required for control cabinet wiring. For wire output in ducts, each cross-section is placed in a separate wire duct, and after the processing is complete, the wire ducts are removed from the machine and, with an optionally available transport trolley, delivered directly to the workstation for wiring. The removal takes place in the predefined order without removing the adhesive tape.
Control cabinet manufacturing: efficient, fast, fully automatic

Visible. Clear. Reliable.
Automatic wire labeling
with source/target marking
Modern ink-jet printers label the wires with excellent readability and automatically select the correct contrast color based on the wire color. The labeling takes place automatically during the process, without any time loss and without additional drying times. The labeling can optionally be applied at adjustable positions or continuously along the wire.
Automatic Wire Change
The automatic wire change feature enables the machine to process all wires required for a control cabinet project in the specified wiring sequence. The Triathlon S processes up to 12 different wires, which are supplied in a quick-change wire cassette.
The machine identifies the wires via an RFID chip and automatically sets the appropriate processing parameters. The cassette change is tool-free and takes approximately 30 seconds.
Automatic crimping unit with 5 or 10 feed pots
The feed pots (5 or 10) in the cross-section range from 0.5 mm² to 6 mm² are selected according to customer requirements and automatically process loose ferrules with a length of 8 mm to 18 mm using a Quattro crimping tool, without any retooling. The ferrules processed comply with DIN 46228. In addition to ferrule crimping, the wires can also be output with full pull-off from 2 mm to 22 mm or partial pull-off from 6 mm to 20 mm.
Smart Wire Bearing
As an accessory for its triathlon machines, Metzner offers a perfectly matched and intelligent wire storage system with space for 12 wire bundles or drums.
The wires are fed through Teflon tubes into the wire cassette; as soon as the cassette is loaded into the machine, the machine automatically recognizes the loaded wires. Thanks to the quick-change mechanism and the convenient casters, changing a wire cassette takes only a matter of moments.
By outputting the wires in the wiring sequence and automatically labeling each wire, the assembler can identify the source and destination of a wire without further checking the circuit diagram. With output in wiring sequence, the position of the source is also automatically predefined. This reduces errors and simultaneously achieves further significant savings in wiring, which additionally improves the ROI considerations mentioned at the beginning.
