  • Patent number: 6402573
    Abstract: A TPA (terminal position assurance) member and connector combination in which the connector is specially configured to latch the TPA member at forward and rearward ends of the connector, the TPA member further being provided with mating locking structure so as to securely lock it at both ends to the connector. In a preferred form, one end of the TPA latching structure is provided with both pre-attachment and full locking structure which provides for a two-stage locking sequence giving both visual and tactile indications to the assembler as to the condition of the TPA.

  • Patent number: 5937505
    Abstract: Apparatus and method for evaluating a crimped electrical connection measures the crimping force over a range of positions of the crimping apparatus ram and derives a statistical envelope of acceptable forces. Each crimp is measured and the force measurements are compared against that envelope to determine the acceptability of the crimp. Acceptable crimps are then further evaluated to determine whether their data should be added to the data base.

  • Patent number: 5197186
    Abstract: The present invention is a method of determining the quality of a crimped electrical connection by collecting force and displacement data during the crimping cycle and comparing that data with data that represents standard crimped connections of known high quality. Of the collected data, selected portions are related to corresponding portions of the standard data and, if a deviation exists of more than a specific amount, a reject signal is generated and displayed to the machine operator. The standard data is continually updated to account for slowly changing environmental conditions that occur over a relatively long period of operation.

  • Patent number: 5123165
    Abstract: The present invention is a method of determining the crimp height of an electrical terminal being crimped to a wire during the production crimping cycle. The method includes collecting a plurality of force and position data element pairs which are measured and sampled during the actual crimping operation. These data element pairs, representing the work curve of the operation and are analyzed to find the position of the ram when the crimping die set just disengages the terminal being crimped. The position of the ram at this point is then translated into the crimp height of the crimped connection. The analysis of the data element pairs includes a filter to remove inconsistent or extraneous data element pairs which could adversely affect the result by indicating an erroneous crimp height.

  • Patent number: 5115904
    Abstract: Apparatus for rotating an electrical lead through an angle of 180 degrees comprises a frame in surrounding relationship to a conveyor clamp in which the lead is held, rotating assemblies and a control system. The rotating assemblies are in alignment with each other and on each side of the conveyor clamp, and are movable from a remote position to a proximate position relative to the conveyor clamp. The rotating assemblies contain rotating clamps. The control system releases the lead from the conveyor clamp simultaneously with closure of the rotating clamps in the rotating assemblies. After rotation of the rotating assemblies, the lead is released by the rotating clamps and the conveyor clamp is closed to grip the lead in its rotated orientation.

  • Patent number: 5101651
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to the determination of the force imposed on a terminal being crimped onto a wire. The crimping mechanism includes a cantilevered member which is deflected an amount that is proportional to the crimping force imposed on the terminal by the crimping bar. The amount of this deflection is sensed by four strain gages which are coupled to the cantilevered member and are electrically interconnected to form a Wheatstone bridge. The output of the Wheatstone bridge is then translated into actual force being imposed upon the terminal.

  • Patent number: 5084960
    Abstract: An automated machine, such as a cable making machine, for terminating wires to terminals. The machine includes mechanisms for selecting a desired wire type and terminal applicator, and then for automatically setting the applicator to the proper insulation crimp height corresponding to the selected wire type and terminal type combination. The insulation crimp height may then be reset to another value for a subsequently selected different wire type.
