The Process
For many years the Crimp Force Monitor has been a repeatability monitor. If an operator “teaches” the monitor an incorrect setup the monitor will continue to call bad production good. To overcome this issue the monitor needs to know what limits it should be using from a known standard. The G3 plus enables this with the inclusion of Crimping Data Sheets (CDS) in the software. The Crimping Data Sheet is held in the central database and can be called up by any Crimp Force Analyser on the network. The CDS contains all the important data needed to know what is a good or bad crimp including the crimp heights and pull forces. Once the CFA has produced a few crimps tests will confirm if production is good or bad, when production is deemed to be good the CFA will allow production to continue. Here is an overview of the process.
1. Create a Crimping Data Sheet (CDS). A CDS is a set of parameters including minimum and maximum Crimp Force, conductor crimp Height and Pull off Forces. This gives the Crimp Force Analyser a window in which to work, operators can no longer blindly teach the CFA as the teach cycle must fall within these parameters.
If the parameters required to create a CDS are already known these can be entered into the CDS List. New data can be collected by running the process and adding the suggested parameters to the CDS list from within the software. Parameters can be manually adjusted as desired.
The engineering report shows minimum, maximum and mean tolerances that were seen during the process .
These parameters can then be used to produce a Crimping Data Sheet.
2. The CDS can be loaded at any CFA on the network. The CFA ensures the press is working within the force tolerances of the CDS.
3. Verify samples are within tolerances of CDS. Once a number of test crimps have been produced the CFA blocks the press and requests a quality check. Further quality checks can be scheduled at regular intervals throughout production.
4. The system automatically calibrates and teaches the CFA for continuous match process control to ensure further production conforms to the initial tested product.
