  • a control and/or regulation system in the crimping tool monitors when a closed position of the crimping jaws is reached and automatically switches off the motor when this is the case. Whether the jaws have reached the closed position can be determined in various ways.
  • One of the disclosed methods involves determining what type of crimping die is set in the die. For each type of crimping die, it is known which way a reference point on the crimping die travels between an open and a closed position of the crimping die.
  • a path actually covered by the reference point is measured and compared to the previously known path, so that it can be determined individually for each type of crimping jaw based on the path covered by the reference point that the crimping jaws are closed. Determining the type of crimp jaws can be based on mechanical shape recognition, optical or color recognition, magnetic or electrical recognition, and recognition of a signal from an RFID tag. In a comparable way it can also be determined what kind of workpiece is inserted into the crimping tool. In addition to the type of crimping jaws, it can also be recognized from a measured pressure difference or a measured difference in power consumption of the motor that the crimping jaws are closed. At one with the tax and/or Display connected to the control circuit can show which operating mode is selected or which maximum pressing force has been reached and a result of the pressing process can be displayed.

The fact that a crimping cycle has been completed is detected by a sensor that registers when two hand levers of the crimping pliers approach each other.
  • the crimping tool has a microcontroller designed as a counter. A memory of the microcontroller can be read out by an external device via wireless data transmission. The microcontroller can also be reset or reprogrammed from the external device. The microcontroller can also transmit an identification of the crimping tool to the external device.

  • the sensor integrated in the interchangeable adapter communicates with a control unit and an associated memory of the crimping machine via a plug connection.
  • the sensors integrated in the change adapters can be specifically adapted in terms of their measuring range to the workpieces to be pressed with the dies.
