Abstract: A crimping including a stand at which a motor and a transmission are arranged. Moreover, first guides, at which a crimping bar is guided, are arranged at the stand. A shaft driven by the transmission has an eccentric pin at one end, and a resolver for detection of rotational angle is coupled to the other end. The crimping bar includes of a slide member guided in the first guides and of a tool holder with a retaining fork. The slide member stands in loose connection with the eccentric pin, wherein the rotational movement of the eccentric pin is converted into a linear movement of the slide member. The tool holder actuates a tool, which together with an anvil produces the crimp connection. An operator terminal is provided as an interface between the operator and the crimping press. The operator terminal includes a rotary knob and a keypad for input of operating data and commands into a control. A display is provided for visualization of data.

Abstract: A cable to be tested includes an electric conductor and insulation. A sleeve is fitted on the insulation. The exposed cable end is prepared for a crimped connection, the electric conductor being connected of a conductor crimp, and the insulation and the sleeve being connected by an insulation crimp to a contact. The dimensions of the conductor crimp zone and the insulation crimp zone of the contact determine the spacing of the insulation end from the conductor end, and the spacing of the sleeve end from the insulation end. To test the sleeve position, the cable is moved over a diaphragm, the diaphragm being more or less covered depending on the instantaneous edge structure of the cable, and the light quantity transiting the diaphragm varying depending on the edge structure of the cable. The edge structures of the cable can be determined from the transiting light quantity.
