ABSTRACT:
A crimping press having a motor, a gear and first guides, at which a crimping ram is guided, arranged at a frame. A shaft driven by the gear has an eccentric spigot at one end and a resolver for the detection of the rotary angle coupled on at the other end. The crimping ram includes a sliding member guided in the first guides and a tool holder with force sensor and retaining fork. The sliding member stands in loose connection with the eccentric spigot, wherein the rotational movement of the eccentric spigot is translated into a linear movement of the sliding member. The tool holder usually actuates a tool which, together with an anvil belonging to the tool, produces the crimped connection. For calibration of the force sensor, a crimping simulator is used in place of the tool. For input of operational data and commands to a control, an operating terminal has a rotary knob and a keyboard. A display is provided for visualization of data. During the production of crimped connections, the quality of the crimped connections is checked by reference to a curve of the crimping force.
