摘要： A crimp machine is provided and includes an anvil having a lower die having a lower forming surface. The anvil is configured to support a crimp barrel of a terminal that receives a wire. The crimp machine includes a press having an upper die having an upper forming surface. The press is movable relative to the anvil during a crimping process to connect the crimp barrel to the wire. A crimp zone is defined between the upper forming surface and the lower forming surface. The crimp machine includes a vision system positioned to view the crimp zone. The vision system includes an imaging device configured to image the crimp barrel of the terminal and the wire. The vision system operates the imaging device to capture an image prior to the crimping process for performing a validation pre-check prior to the crimping process.
