摘要:
The invention relates to a pressing tool, crimping tool or cutting tool (1; 2; 3) with a tool jaw (5) which is supported at a supporting body (24) by a guidance (28) having a remaining measuring degree of freedom (26). The tool jaw (5) is supported at the supporting body (24) in the direction of the measuring degree of freedom (26) by a mechanical parallel arrangement of an elastic supporting element (14) and a sensor (84). Here, the stiffness of the elastic supporting element (14) is dimensioned such that for the maximum of the effective working force of the pressing tool, crimping tool or cutting tool (1; 2; 3) the sensor (84) has a maximum deflection of at least 0.1 mm or at least 1°.

A crimping apparatus comprising a press module connected with a pressing mold, a translation module, and a pressure control module is disclosed. The press module generates an action force on the pressing mold through a fluid. The translation module is coupled to the press module for driving the press module to move toward a flexible printed circuit having two isolated circuit layers such that one circuit layer is pressed to crimp to the other circuit layer, wherein the pressure control module adjusts the pressure within the press module to maintain a constant force on the pressing mold whereby the pressing mold can generate a constant stress acting on the flexible printed circuit during the crimping process. In addition, the crimping apparatus can be adapted in a roll-to-roll process for crimping two isolated circuit layers of each flexible printed circuit unit arranged on the roll.

A terminal crimping machine includes a termination tool having crimp tooling defining a crimping zone that receives the terminal and the wire. The crimp tooling is actuated during a crimp stroke to crimp the terminal to the wire. The terminal crimping machine includes a wire clamp holding the wire near the crimping zone. The wire clamp releases the wire prior to completion of the crimp to allow extrusion of the wire during the crimping process. Optionally, the wire clamp may release the wire prior to bottom dead center of the crimp stroke. The wire clamp may release the wire after the terminal partially retains the wire.

A process and apparatus for collecting data for nondestructive evaluation of the quality of a crimped wire connector are provided. The process involves providing a crimping tool having an anvil and opposing jaw for crimping a terminal onto a stranded wire, moving the jaw relative to the anvil to close the distance between the jaw and the anvil and thereby compress the terminal against the wire, while transmitting ultrasonic waves that are propagated through the terminal wire combination and received at a receiving ultrasonic transducer as the jaw is moved relative to the anvil, and detecting and recording the position of the jaw relative to the anvil as a function of time and detecting and recording the amplitude of the ultrasonic wave that is received at the receiving ultrasonic transducer as a function of time as the jaw is moved relative to the anvil.

A crimping apparatus includes a ram having crimp tooling for crimping a terminal to a wire during a crimp stroke and a force sensor detecting a crimp force during the crimp stroke. The crimping apparatus also includes a controller that monitors the crimp quality of a crimp based on a frequency profile of the crimp. Optionally, the controller may create the frequency profile based on a force profile using a frequency transform algorithm. The frequency transform algorithm may be a Fast Fourier Transform algorithm.

A crimp tool for crimping contacts onto wire cable ends includes an indentor mechanism having a plurality of moveable indentors for deforming a portion of a contact inserted into the mechanism. One of the indentors has a pressure responsive element for providing a signal indicative of the pressure exerted on the contact by the indentor. A device coupled to the pressure responsive element records pressure data and transfers data to an electronic control unit for determining operation of the mechanism. An automated inspection system uses light projection and a light sensor adapted for detecting light projected through a crimping die to measure dimensions and configurations of the crimping die. The system stores data representative of desired measurements of the crimping die and compares actual measurements to desired measurements. A set of fixtures are used for positioning the crimping die in the inspection system.

A crimp terminal whose crimp state can be easily evaluated and to provide a method of manufacturing a terminal-provided wire comprising the crimp terminal. The crimp terminal includes a pair of conductor barrels which are crimped onto a conductor of an electric wire. The conductor barrel has an outer surface provided with a crimp state indicator for evaluating a crimp level thereof. The indicator may be a mark so shaped that a position of an internal end of an outwardly exposed part thereof is varied in a terminal axial direction corresponding to the crimp level, or include a plurality of marks spaced in a direction perpendicular to the terminal axial direction.

A method monitoring crimping of a fitting onto a hose, or the like, includes monitoring fluid pressure for carrying out the crimp at discrete diameters of the crimp, during the crimp, and analyzing crimp data reflecting the fluid pressure with respect to the diameters of the crimp during the crimp to determine if the fluid pressure is above a minimum pressure at particular diameters during the crimp, below a maximum pressure during the particular diameters during the crimp, and/or varies significantly from earlier crimps, to determine if the crimp is acceptable. A system for monitoring crimping of a fitting onto a hose end or the like might include a pressure sensor deployed in conjunction with a crimper to measure fluid pressure employed by the crimper during the crimp, a die diameter monitor and, a controller operatively connected to the crimper and sensors.

A sensor device includes at least one piezoelectric polymer film supported on a plate that is positioned relative to a machine such that a force used during a manufacturing process involving the machine is incident on the plate. The piezoelectric polymer film provides an electrical output indicative of the incident force. In a disclosed example, a single piezoelectric polymer film extends across a substantial portion of a surface area of the plate. In another disclosed example, a plurality of piezoelectric polymer film sensor elements area are arranged symmetrically about a location where the incident force is expected to be most prominent.
