Compacting/ Crimping compaction analysis

Analysis aimed to assess the state of crimping tools, before being put into service and periodically thereafter.

The basis of a good crimping begins with a compaction analysis:

Upon the arrival of a crimping tool, we conduct a compaction analysis to validate compliance.
Compaction will be performed periodically throughout the life of the tool, depending on the number of crimp connector or a crimping defect found.

The steps of a compacting analysis:

• Crimping a lug
• Cutting at the crimp barrel
• Polishing
• Cleaning by electrolysis
• Calculation data by a microscope coupled to a computer

Our requirements are:

• Respected crimp height
• Filling rate greater than 85%
• "Cat's ears" of less than half of the thickness of the terminal
• Crimping heart and closed
• Fissure prohibited
