TE Connectivity Wire Crimper

Crimp tooling is a significant contributor to the overall crimp termination process. The condition of crimp tooling is constantly monitored in production by various means. These means are often indirect measures. Crimp Quality Monitors and crimp cross sections are methodologies that infer the condition of the crimp tooling. Visual inspection of the crimp tooling can be used to check for gross failures such as tool breakage or tooling deformation which occurred as a result of a machine crash. Continuous monitoring of production will help determine when the process needs to be adjusted and the replacement of crimp tooling can be one of the adjustments that is made.Geometry and associated tolerances Material Surface condition Surface treatment
