Abstract:
A crimping apparatus comprising a crimping station having a crimping press and at least one set of crimping tools, each said crimping tool including a wire ram, an insulation ram, an anvil unit and a separating unit, wherein the wire ram and the insulation ram of each crimping tool are associated with a ram holder, wherein there is associated with each of the ram holders a crimping height-adjustment means, wherein crimping pressure-measuring elements are included between said crimping press and said ram holders, said crimping pressure-measuring elements being connected to a control unit, whereby during a crimping process a crimping force as determined by said crimping pressure-measuring elements is compared with a preset nominal value range, and when said determined crimping force is outside of said range, a corresponding correction signal is produced in said control unit, thereby effecting a corresponding correction of said crimping height-adjustment means.
