ABSTRACT:
The quality of a crimped connection produced by the application of a crimping force (F) to a crimping barrel (WB) of an electrical terminal (T) with a wire (W) therein, is carried out by measuring the peak value (PV) of the crimping force (F) and comparing it with a reference value. The incremental values (IV) of the crimping force are measured during its application and are stored in the form of an actual crimping force value envelope (EA). The incremental values of an ideal crimping force are measured during its application and are stored in the form of an ideal crimping force value envelope (EI). The envelopes (EA and EI) are then compared to determine the quality of the crimped connection.
