摘要： A modified lug press and use thereof is described. The modified lug press includes a press and a cartridge. The press includes a drive which, when activated, crimps a lug, positioned on a die, to a wire. A cartridge holds the given lug and at least one additional lug, and successively aligns the given lug and the at least one next lug for insertion onto the die for crimping by the press. The cartridge includes a left rail, with a track therein, at least one middle rail, and a right rail. Distances between the rails may be adjustable. A drive motor, when activated, successively pushes lugs onto the die. A lug separator permits one lug to be pushed on the die at any given time. A lug placement device inhibit lateral lug movement during wire insertion and crimping operations.

摘要： Devices and methods for actuating a tool and methods for making such devices are provided. In one example, the device includes a piston subassembly. The piston subassembly includes a cylinder having a cavity, a head disposed in the cavity to move between first and second positions, and a rod coupled to the head and extending away from the second position. A holding subassembly is coupled to the piston subassembly. The holding subassembly includes a first holding member coupled to the rod and configured to hold a first leg of the tool and a second holding member spaced apart from the first holding member. The second holding member is configured to hold the second leg of the tool. When the head moves from the first position towards the second position, the rod moves the first holding member towards the second holding member.

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.

摘要： A wire terminating apparatus and method which allows for determining the quality of a wire termination. The method includes terminating the wire, monitoring the thermal properties of the termination with one or more thermal sensors and comparing the monitored thermal properties to stored thermal properties to determine if the termination is defective. If the termination is defective, the termination is discarded. The apparatus includes a wire termination zone. A thermal sensor is mounted on the wire terminating apparatus proximate the wire termination zone. The thermal sensor monitors the thermal properties of the termination to determine if the termination is defective.

摘要： Apparatus and methods for filament crimping. The apparatus includes a filament crimp element. The filament crimp element includes a first set of cavities disposed at a spacing which creates a first set of features and a second set of cavities disposed at a spacing which creates a second set of features. The first and second set cavities are substantially opposite one another. The first set of features are adapted to be placed at least partially within the second set of cavities and the second set of features are adapted to be placed at least partially within the first set of cavities. Interlock features configured for cold welding are also included. Methods for the manufacture of the device are also disclosed. In addition, methods for automated placement and manufacture of assemblies using the crimp elements are also disclosed.

摘要： Pressing jaws for opposite arrangement in crimping pliers, the pressing jaws having ribs, which extend in a rib longitudinal direction and move into each other during pressing. A guide surface extending transversely to the rib longitudinal direction outside of a working region of the ribs is formed, which guide surface interacts with a guide protrusion extending from the opposite pressing jaw. In another version, the pressing jaws have ribs, which are designed to mesh with each other and which have a rib longitudinal direction. Crimping pliers comprise two plier jaws, which are provided with oppositely arranged pressing jaws having ribs, which extend in a rib longitudinal direction and which, during pressing, move into each other and delimit a pressing jaw opening.

摘要： A method aligns a crimping cassette crimping tool in a cable processing apparatus having a tensioning device for applying tension to a mounting part relative to a crimping device attachment surface. The crimping cassette includes the crimping tool having cooperating stationary and movable tool parts for crimping and a holding device that attaches to the mounting part fixed to the stationary tool part and has a position allowing a spatially-limited adjustment movement of the stationary tool part. The method includes releasing the tensioning device; inserting the stationary tool part into a tensioning device area; moving the moveable tool part towards the stationary tool part slightly before it touches the stationary tool part; moving the moveable tool part towards the stationary tool part until a pressing force between the tool parts is reached or exceeded and an alignment occurs between the tool parts; and applying tension with the tensioning device.

摘要： A crimping tool (1) is used to axially fasten a cable braid (3) of a cable (2) between a crimp sleeve (4) arranged on the cable (2) and a support sleeve (5) by means of crimping. The crimping tool (1) includes a first pressing jaw (6) having a first through-opening (8), which extends in an axial direction (x), and a second pressing jaw (7) having a second through-opening (9), which is coaxial with the first through-opening (8). The first and the second pressing jaw (6, 7) are displaceable relative to each other in the axial direction. For the crimping, the first pressing jaw (6) has a support surface (10) for supporting the crimp sleeve (4) in the axial direction, and the second pressing jaw (7) has a funnel-shaped forming surface (11) arranged around the second through-opening (9), for crimping the crimp sleeve (4) with respect to the support sleeve (5).

摘要： A cable assembly comprises a conductive cable including an exposed conductive first section having a first cross-section, and a second section adjacent the first second and having a second cross-section distinct from the first cross-section. A ferrule is positioned over the conductive cable and includes a body defining a seam formed therethrough in an axial direction. The ferrule defines a first body portion deformed into a cross-section corresponding to the first portion of the conductive cable, and a second body portion deformed into a cross-section corresponding to the second portion of the conductive cable.
