Crimping press for electric cable attachment to plug - has piezoelectric elements encapsulated under impressed surface for maintenance or interruption of eccentric drive of die

摘要

Two piezoelectric pressure transducers (16), whose elements (17) are embedded in respective silicone damping pads (18), are fitted under the anvil (7) and connected to the motor driving an eccentric shaft (23) and horizontal beam (20) above the die (6). This is constrained by guides (19) to move vertically within limits established by a set screw (14) while the beam (20) is displaced horizontally against a spring (25) and vertically by the interaction of swing links (21, 22) to the die (6) and frame. USE/ADVANTAGE - In e.g. automotive or computing applications. Quality of joints can be monitored and optimised during each crimping operation.
