Patent number: 7757386Abstract: A crimping device has a contact advancer provided with an exchangeable anvil part. A first pulley, a belt and an advancing motor drive a first carriage. A gripper for advancing the contact belt is guided in a direction crosswise to a direction of the first carriage. The distance between the gripper and the first carriage is determined by a second carriage and a roller of the gripper rolling in a fifth linear guide of the second carriage. The distance from the gripper is predetermined by the exchangeable anvil part and depends on the width of the contact belt. The gripper operates independent of the distance between the transport holes and independent of the width of the contact belt. The anvil part including the belt guide is an exchangeable part and only fits one type of crimp contact and is executed crimp-contact specifically.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2006Date of Patent: July 20, 2010Assignee: Komax Holding AGInventors: Peter Imgrüt, Marc Speck

Patent number: 7637003Abstract: In this crimping device, a press slide (5) is provided with a crimp-height adjuster (20) for the insulation crimper (9). The crimp-height adjuster (20) arranged on the press slide (5) above an upper tool (7) consists essentially of a rotationally hindered eccentric disk (21), a lever (22), and a magnet (23) with plunger (24). The eccentric disk (21) is mounted rotatably on an axle (25). During production of crimp connections, the plunger (24) is at rest outside an elongated hole (28) of the lever (22). The press slide (5) with the upper tool (7) can be moved up and down without hindrance. With the plunger (24) inserted into the elongated hole (28) and with an upward motion of the press slide (5), after overcoming the friction of a disk-spring assembly the eccentric disk (21) executes rotational motion in clockwise direction. The lever (22) that is rigidly connected to the axle (25) turns the eccentric disk (21) about the axle (25).Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2006Date of Patent: December 29, 2009Assignee: Komax Holding AGInventors: Peter Imgrüt, Enrico Gasparini, Marc Speck

Patent number: 7340812Abstract: The system (1) for processing a cable (5) comprises a first set of tools (30(i)), a second set of tools (35(j)) and a processing device (10) for executing different processing steps for processing a cable (5) using at least two tools (30(i), 35(j)). The processing device (10) comprises: a first holding device (15), which is intended for the purpose of removably holding a first tool (30(i)) which is selected from the first set of tools, and a second holding device (16), which is intended for the purpose of removably holding a second tool (35(j)) which is selected from the second set of tools, at least one tool of the first set being suitable for processing the cable exclusively in combination with one of the tools of a predetermined partial set of the second set.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2006Date of Patent: March 11, 2008Assignee: Komax Holding AGInventor: Marc Speck

Publication number: 20060106287Abstract: Optical windows for intracorporeal devices, intracorporeal devices comprising a window and a method for forming a window for an intracorporeal device are provided. The method comprises placing within a mold an assembly comprising a mandrel located within a pair of parts separated by a collar of window material, heating the window preform effective to cause the window material to soften, and applying force to urge together the pair of parts to deform the window material so as to form a window. The intracorporeal devices, such as imaging devices, include guidewires, catheters, endoscopes. In addition, the method is suitable for joining plastic parts to other parts, such as metal and ceramic parts.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2005Publication date: May 18, 2006Inventors: William Webler, Michael Whitt, Marc Jalisi, Andrej Chudy, Kevin Phillips, Marc Speck
