Crimp press and method for use

摘要

The system has a series of exchangeable modules (7) arranged in a line, and each unit handles different types of contacts supplied in magazine strips (1). The modules can be removed and replaced. Contacts are selected and are handled by a gripper that is part of a transfer unit that moves transversely to supply. This moves to supply a crimping machine station (8) that can handle the different types. This has a range of different crimping punches (36) and separation stages (38).
