SENSOR ARRANGEMENT, MEASURING DEVICE AND MEASURING METHOD

摘要

Measuring equipment for a crimp connection comprises a signal processing unit (150), a ranging sensor arrangement (100) based on using optical radiation, and a moving mechanism (102) that moves a formed crimp connection (104) and the ranging sensor arrangement (100) in relation to each other. The ranging sensor arrangement (100) measures the distance between the ranging sensor arrangement (100) and crimp connection (104) while the ranging sensor arrangement (100) and moving mechanism (102) are moved in relation to each other. The signal processing unit (150) generates surface profile data on the basis of the measured distances, uses the surface profile data of the crimp connection (104) to determine the quality of the crimp connection (104), and displays data related to the crimp connection (104).

1. A sensor arrangement for measuring a crimp connection, characterized in that the sensor arrangement comprises:
a ranging sensor arrangement (100) based on using optical radiation; a moving mechanism (102) that is arranged to move the crimp connection (104) with respect to the ranging sensor arrangement (100); a first sensor unit arranged to detect a conductor (162) of the crimp connection (104), the first sensor unit provides a signal to perform measurement with the ranging sensor arrangement (100); a second sensor unit arranged to detect the conductor (162) of the crimp connection (104), the second sensor unit provides a signal to stop the measurement with the ranging sensor arrangement (100); andthe ranging sensor arrangement (100) is arranged to measure distances between the ranging sensor arrangement (100) and a plurality of points of the surface of the crimp connection (104) while the crimp connection (104) is in motion in relation to the ranging sensor arrangement (100) for the purpose of determining at least one of the following:
dimension of the crimp connection (104) and shape of the crimp connection (104).
