ABSTRACT:
A swaging system includes a swaging assembly, a sensor, and a controller. The swaging assembly includes a movable tool, the movable tool operate to exert force on a die. The die is configured to reduce a dimension of a work piece responsive to the exerted force, the dimension reduction having a relationship to a stroke of the movable tool. The sensor is operable to obtain information including a measurement of the reduced dimension of the work piece. The sensor is operable to generate a measurement signal representative of the obtained information. The controller is operably coupled to receive the measurement signal from the sensor, and is operable to cause adjustment the stroke of the movable tool responsive to the measurement signal.
