Crimpers, applicators, and presses are precision mechanical tools used to join components through compression, deformation, or forming processes. Crimpers create permanent electrical or mechanical connections by compressing materials (e.g., wire terminals). Applicators install fasteners, clips, or components onto substrates, while presses apply controlled force for shaping, assembling, or testing materials. These tools are critical in industries requiring high reliability, such as automotive, aerospace, and electronics manufacturing.
| Type | Functional Features | Application Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Manual Crimpers | Hand-operated, low-force, portable | Field repairs, prototyping |
| Electric Crimpers | Motor-driven, programmable force control | High-volume wire harness production |
| Pneumatic Applicators | Air-powered, high-speed fastener installation | Automotive trim assembly |
| Hydraulic Presses | High-force fluid pressure actuation | Metal forming, composite molding |
| Automatic Press Systems | PLC-controlled, integrated sensors | Automated terminal crimping lines |
Typical configurations include: - Crimpers: Die set (anvil/die cavity), handle/actuator, ratchet mechanism, force transmission linkage. - Applicators: Magazine feed system, pneumatic/hydraulic cylinder, applicator nose, spring-loaded retention arms. - Presses: Frame/base, hydraulic/pneumatic cylinder, bolster plate, programmable control panel, safety guarding. Advanced models integrate IoT-enabled sensors for real-time force/displacement monitoring.
| Parameter | Description | Importance |
|---|---|---|
| Crimping Force (kN) | Maximum compressive force capacity | Determines joint integrity and material compatibility |
| Stroke Length (mm) | Distance of ram/die movement | Affects application versatility and material thickness range |
| Repeatability ( m) | Positioning accuracy consistency | Ensures quality in high-precision applications |
| Cycle Rate (pcs/hr) | Production speed metric | Directly impacts manufacturing throughput |
| Force Control Resolution (%) | Adjustable force precision | Optimizes material-specific process windows |
| Manufacturer | Product Example | Key Features |
|---|---|---|
| TE Connectivity | MicroPress+ Crimping System | Sub- m force control, IoT connectivity |
| Schleuniger Inc. | Combi 7000 Series | Multi-axis servo control, automatic tool changing |
| Amada Miyachi Europe | HACO FPH-1500 Press | Hydraulic servo press with 150 kN force capacity |
| Delphi Technologies | Automotive Terminal Applicator 4.0 | AI-driven process optimization, predictive maintenance |
Key selection criteria: - Application-specific force/stroke requirements - Production volume vs. tooling changeover frequency - Automation integration capabilities (PLC, robotics) - Material compatibility (e.g., copper vs. aluminum crimping) - Calibration/maintenance cost considerations - Safety features (e.g., dual-hand operation, light curtains)
Current trends include: - Smart Tooling: Embedded sensors for real-time quality monitoring - Modular Design: Quick-change tooling systems for multi-product lines - Energy Efficiency: Servo-driven systems reducing power consumption - AI Integration: Predictive maintenance and adaptive process control - Miniaturization: Sub-mm precision tools for microelectronics assembly - Global Standards: Increased adoption of ISO 13849 functional safety compliance
