TERMINATION SYSTEM WITH COMMUNICATION DEVICE

摘要

A termination system includes an applicator and a communication device mounted to the applicator. The application has a ram that is movable towards and away from a stationary anvil along a crimp stroke. The anvil receives a terminal thereon. The ram is coupled to crimp tooling that is configured to apply the terminal to a wire along the crimp stroke. The communication device includes a storage system, a wireless communication system, and a microcontroller. The storage system stores data relating to the applicator. The wireless communication system wirelessly communicates the data relating to the applicator with an external device accessed by an operator. The microcontroller controls at least one of storage of or access to the data relating to the applicator in the storage system. The microcontroller also controls wireless communication of the data relating to the applicator with the external device via the wireless communication system.
