Systems and methods for evaluating crimp applications

A method for evaluating a crimping application using an electronic processor, the method comprising:

• receiving a sensor signal from a sensor, wherein the sensor signal is indicative of the crimping application;
• determining a first operating characteristic based on the sensor signal;
• determining a second operating characteristic based on the sensor signal;
• determining, based on the first operating characteristic and the second operating characteristic, the crimping application;
• and
• outputting an indication of the crimping application.

A power tool comprising:

• a crimper head comprising a pair of jaws configured to crimp a workpiece;
• a piston cylinder configured to actuate at least one of the pair of jaws;
• a first sensor configured to provide a first sensor signal associated with a crimping application;
• a second sensor configured to provide a second sensor signal associated with the crimping application, from a plurality of crimping application profiles;
• and
• an electronic processor connected to the first sensor and the second sensor, the electronic processor configured to:
• receive the first sensor signal,
• receive the second sensor signal,
• determine, based on the first sensor signal, a first operating characteristic,
• determine, based on the second sensor signal, a second operating characteristic,
• determine, based on the first operating characteristic and the second operating characteristic, the crimping application of the power tool, and
• output an indication of the crimping application.
