Abstract
A method for producing a crimp connection includes initially guiding a cable end of a cable with a gripper to a crimping press. For this feed movement the gripper is moved by an actuator in an axial direction along the cable axis. The cable end is thereafter connected with a crimp contact. During the crimping process the gripper is, for compensation for length extension of the cable during crimping, moved along the cable axis in a return movement in an opposite direction to the feed movement.
Claims16
A method for producing a crimp connection comprising the steps of:
- feeding a cable end of a cable to a crimping press with a gripper;
- and
- connecting the cable end with a crimp contact by crimping while moving the gripper along an axis of the cable in a return movement opposite in direction to the movement during the feeding to provide compensation for length extension of the cable during the crimping.
A crimping device for producing a crimp connection, the crimping device including a crimping press and a gripper for feeding a cable end of a cable to the crimping press, comprising:
- the gripper being movable in axial direction along an axis of the cable during a crimping process in which a press member, which is movable in vertical direction with respect to the cable axis, of the crimping press is moved against a crimp contact at the cable end.
