Crimping & Crimp Quality - Issue 1
Newcomers to the crimping business soon realize that with the simple sounding process of crimping, the difficulty is in the details. It starts with a confusing number of technical terms and crimp terminals, and finishes with selection of the appropriate production medium as well as a quality assurance procedure.
The Combination of Products Determines Crimp Quality
Despite worldwide use and various international test and measurement procedures, crimping remains an area in which the experience of the employees, both of the users and of the manufacturers of the production media, has a heavy influence on the processing quality. The end result (i.e. the quality of each individual crimp) is always dependent on the perfect interplay of multiple products and mutually influencing parameters. This must be taken into consideration during development as well as in the basic settings of daily use.
From crimp applicators to fully automatic processing-
Know-how is required
