METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETERMINING A CRIMP HEIGHT OF A CRIMPED ELECTRICAL CONNECTION.

摘要

A terminal crimping device includes crimp tooling (104) including an anvil (114) and a ram (116) movable toward the anvil with a crimp zone being defined between the anvil and the ram configured to receive a wire (112) and a terminal (110) configured to be crimped to the wire by the crimp tooling. An ultrasonic transducer (160) is coupled to at least one of the anvil and the ram that receives acoustic signals (158) sent through the wire and terminal. A crimp quality module receives signals from the ultrasonic transducer. The crimp quality module determines a crimp height (170) of the terminal based on the acoustic signal received by the ultrasonic transducer.
