The Challenges With Manual Heat-
Shrinking
Shrinking tubes are processed at a work-bench with the use of a
hot-air unit:
•Complex process differing results in quality
•For consistent end results you need more than
just experienced employees
•Work procedure is time-and cost-consuming

„It depends on the ability of the employee to consistently
apply the correct temperature, to consistently keep the
right distance between hot-air unit and shrinking tube and
to consistently apply the exact same length of time.“
The great disadvantage:
The overall physical state of the employee and shift changes become
important influencing factors for the quality of the end results!

How do you achieve ongoing,
consistently good quality within the
Heat-Shrinking process?
• Consistent temperature
• Consistent processing time
• Consistent distance between the heat
source and the shrinking product

Advantages of Hot-Air Shrinking
Systems
• Can be individually programed by means of a
controller.
• Temperature, time as well as individual programs can
be easily regulated.
• With individually adjusted shrinking chambers several
harnesses can be processed at once an ongoing
good quality can be achieved.

STCS-VMir – Infrared Workbench
Shrink System
• Based on infrared technology
• Designed for workbench applications
• Can process several parts at the same
time
• Is equipped with a fast exchangeable
shrinking chamber system can be
used on several applications

STCS-LC – Shrink tunnel
• Based on infrared resistors
• Process several and different
types of parts at the same time
• Guarantees flexibility by
shrinking virtually almost
everything: from normal splices
to special applications, one
single machine can do it all

Advantages of these Systems?
• Time and cost saving: During the shrinking process,
the operator is free to perform other tasks.
• Process control: Reliability and consistency of the
process by monitoring and controlling the system’s
temperature, shrinking time and position of the
sleeve.
• Safe process operation: The operator is protected
against injuries
