The invention relates to a crimping press (1), comprising a first crimping tool (11), a second crimping tool (13) which can be moved relative to the first crimping tool (11) and a drive (3..8) for applying a crimping force between the first and second crimping tools (11, 13) during a crimp production process (D). According to the invention, the crimping press (1) further comprises prestressing means (15, 18) for applying an initial load between the first and second crimping tools (11, 13) which acts in the same direction as the crimping force and is already active before the crimp production process (D). |
