Abstract
A device for producing a crimp connection includes a mobile supply unit that can be connected with a crimping press station for storing and supplying crimp contacts to the crimping press station. The mobile supply unit has two supply rolls with crimp contacts that can be attached laterally to the mobile supply unit. Each supply roll is assigned to a respective coupling device by which the supply unit can be connected in two docking locations with the crimping press station.
Claims15
A device for producing a crimp connection including a crimping press station for connecting a conductor end of a cable with a crimp contact and a supply unit for storing crimp contacts and supplying the crimp contacts to the crimping press station, wherein the crimp contacts are extracted from a supply roll on the supply unit, comprising:
- the supply unit being mobile relative to the crimping press station and mounting two of the supply rolls, the mobile supply unit being selectively movable between two docking locations at the crimping press station wherein in each of the docking locations an associated one of the supply rolls supplies the crimp contacts to the crimping press station.
A method for producing a crimp connection comprising the steps of:
- connecting a mobile supply unit for storing and supplying crimp contacts to a crimping press station in a first docking location;
- operating the crimping the crimping press station to connect conductor ends of cables with the crimp contacts from a first supply roll of the mobile supply unit, the crimp contacts being guided to the crimping press station as a contact strip with the crimp contacts strung together;
- loading the mobile supply unit with a second supply roll for storing and supplying the crimp contacts;
- and
- disconnecting the mobile supply unit from first docking location at the crimping press station, connecting the mobile supply unit to the crimping press station in a second docking location and operating the crimping press station to connect conductor ends of cables with the crimp contacts from the second supply roll.
