5.1 CONCEPT
The ACO 08 crimp force monitoring monitors and analyzes the crimping process. The device can be
used to evaluate and optimize the crimping processes in the sector of further development of
crimping technology, as well as for monitoring, control, and checking the production process.
A series of adjustable parameters for the device, as well as the simple operation of the device,
permit adaptation to different crimping uses.
A piezoelectric force sensor generates a load (proportional to the crimp force) and supplies
measuring signals. The sensor is located within the crimping press and converts crimp force
coefficients into load coefficients which can then be evaluated by the measuring device. The
process-controlled measuring device conducts an analog-to-digital data conversion and saves
these coefficients in the internal log memories.
To control the crimping process, a reference force coefficient is calculated by recording and
averaging a certain number of crimp force coefficients. Based on this force curve, an envelope is
generated which can be modified by the user according to the specific requirements of the
crimping process. In addition, the area under the curve (work) is calculated as a reference value.
The crimping process itself is monitored to prevent exceeding the tolerance limits or deviation
from work within a certain part of the tolerance range. The comparison of the reference and actual
values generates a digital control signal that allows the crimp machine to be directly connected.
This allows the machine to be blocked and the crimped parts to be sorted out. Event counters
(crimp good/bad/total/Cpk) are continuously updated on the screen. The actual process
parameters can be displayed at any time.
The measured force parameters can be transmitted via TCP/IP to a connected PC, where a software
package generates a graphical representation. The PC software enables the storage of all
generated data as well as various statistical and conversion functions. All independent data (e.g. for
printouts) can be downloaded to the PC. The measuring instruments can be networked.
