Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Crimppresse zum Verbinden von gegurteten Crimpkontakten mit Kabeln mittels Crimper und einem Ambosswechselteil, wobei ein Kontaktvorschub einen die Crimpkontakte tragenden Kontaktgurt bis zum Ambosswechselteil vorschiebt.The invention relates to a crimping press for connecting strapped crimp contacts to cables by means of crimpers and an anvil change part, wherein a contact feed advances a contact belt carrying the crimp contacts to the anvil change part.
Aus der Patentschrift
Nachteilig ist, dass beim Wechsel auf unterschiedliche Crimpkontakte und unterschiedliche Kontaktabstände im Crimpkontaktband die Vorschubeinheit neu einjustiert werden muss. Loch und Lochbild im Crimpkontaktband kann auch je nach Lieferant variieren.The disadvantage is that when changing to different crimp contacts and different contact distances in Crimpkontaktband the feed unit must be readjusted. Hole and hole pattern in the crimp contact band may also vary depending on the supplier.

Hier will die Erfindung Abhilfe schaffen. Die Erfindung, wie sie in Anspruch 1 gekennzeichnet ist, löst die Aufgabe, die Nachteile der bekannten Einrichtung zu vermeiden und eine Einrichtung zu schaffen, die beim Wechsel auf unterschiedliche Crimpkontakte bzw. unterschiedliche Kontaktabstände im Kontaktgurt bzw. unterschiedliche Gurtbreiten einfach umrüstbar sind.The invention aims to remedy this situation. The invention, as characterized in
Die Vorschubeinrichtung kann Kontaktgurten mit unterschiedlichen Kontaktabständen ohne weiteres verarbeiten. Mit dem Austausch des Wechselteils, insbesondere des kontaktspezifischen Ambossteils wird die Vorschubeinrichtung zwangsläufig an unterschiedliche Gurtbreiten angepasst. Der Vorschub des Kontaktgurtes mittels der Vorschubeinrichtung beruht auf Reibung, wobei der Kontaktgurt geklemmt und vorgeschoben wird. Die genaue Positionierung und Fixierung der Krimpkontakte während des Crimpvorganges erfolgt im Ambossteil mittels in Transportlöcher des Kontaktgurtes eingreifenden Stiften. Mit der einfachen Umrüstung können insbesondere Umrüstzeit gespart und Einstellfehler vermieden werden, was sich wiederum bei vielen kleinen Produktionslosen besonders günstig auf die Produktionskosten auswirkt.The feed device can easily handle contact straps with different contact distances. With the replacement of the removable part, in particular of the contact-specific anvil part, the feed device inevitably becomes different Belt widths adjusted. The feed of the contact belt by means of the feed device is based on friction, wherein the contact belt is clamped and advanced. The exact positioning and fixing of the crimping contacts during the crimping takes place in the anvil part by means of engaging in transport holes of the contact belt pins. With the simple conversion especially retooling can be saved and setting errors can be avoided, which in turn has a particularly favorable effect on the production costs for many small production lots.
Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den abhängigen Patentansprüchen angegeben.Advantageous developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.
Bei der erfindungsgemässen Einrichtung weist der Kontaktvorshub einen vom Transportlochabstand und von der Breite des Kontaktgurtes unabhängigen Greifer auf, der den Kontaktgurt mittels einen Reibschluss mit dem Kontaktgurt bildenden Druckplatten festhält und bis zum Ambosswechselteil vorschiebt, wobei zum Festhalten und allseitigen Positionieren des Kontaktgurtes am Ambosswechselteil ein Gurthalter vorgesehen ist, der wie auch der Ambosswechselteil crimpkontaktspezifisch ausgestaltet ist und als Wechselteil für eine Kontaktgurtart passt und der zum allseitigen Positionieren des Kontaktgurtes in Vorschubrichtung angeordnete, steuerbare Positionierelemente aufweist, die in Transportlöcher des Kontaktgurtes eingreifen.In the inventive device, the Kontaktvorshub on the transport hole distance and the width of the contact belt independent gripper, which holds the contact belt by means of a frictional engagement with the contact belt forming pressure plates and advances to the anvil change part, wherein for holding and all sides positioning of the contact belt on the anvil change part a belt holder is provided, which is designed as well as the anvil change part crimp contact specific and fits as a removable part for a contact belt and the arranged for all-round positioning of the contact belt in the feed direction, controllable positioning has, which engage in transport holes of the contact belt.

Der Greifer 30 besteht im wesentlichen aus einer zweiten Druckplatte 64 und aus einer ersten Gegenplatte 65, wobei die zweite Druckplatte 64 mittels drittem nicht sichtbarem Aktuator 66 über nicht sichtbare Stössel betätigbar ist. Der zweiten Druckplatte 64 wird eine mittels erstem Handgriff 67 manuell wegschwenkbaren Anschlagplatte 68 entgegengehalten.The
Der Vorschub des Kontaktgurtes 12 erfolgt mittels Greifer 30, der den Kontaktgurt 12 zwischen der zweiten Druckplatte 64 und der ersten Gegenplatte 65 festklemmt und mit der Bewegung P1 des Vorschubmotors 14 vorschiebt währenddem die erste Druckplatte 58 betätigt bzw. in der unteren Lage ist bzw. die ersten Stifte 59 aus der Führungsbahn 57 entfernt sind. Nach dem Vorschub wird die erste Druckplatte 58 nach oben bewegt und die ersten Stifte 59 in die Transportlöcher 60 geschoben. Dann wird der Greifer 30 geöffnet bzw. die zweite Druckplatte 64 abgesenkt und der erste Schlitten 27 in Richtung P1 mittels Vorschubmotor 14 zurückgezogen. Dann wird der Greifer 30 erneut geschlossen und der Kontaktgurt 12 festgeklemmt. Vor dem Vorschieben des Kontaktgurtes 12 wird die erste Druckplatte 58 erneut nach unten bewegt und die Führungsbahn 57 von den ersten Stiften 59 befreit. Der Greifer 30 schiebt den Kontaktgurt 12 unabhängig vom Transportlochabstand und unabhängig von der Breite des Kontaktgurtes 12 softwaregesteuert um genau ein Kontaktraster bzw. um einen Transportlochabstand vor. Nach erfolgtem Vorschub werden die ersten Stifte 59 nach oben bewegt. Ein Sensor überwacht, ob die ersten Stifte 59 in die Transportlöcher 60 greifen und den Kontaktgurt 12 festhalten. Danach wird der Greifer 30 geöffnet und zurückgefahren.The feed of the
