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.
