SPLICE CRIMPING EQUIPMENT

SM Contact designs and produces splice crimping machines for a wide range of electrical components: wire, PCB, coil frame, metal tab, capacitor, sensor, diode, transformer, lead frame, resistor, textile, filament, etc.

We start each project with profound connection and tooling qualification to define its optimal parameters, to adapt machine specification, and to match industry norms. Depending on the configuration, equipment performs insulation stripping, single or multiple splice crimping, inline quality control, and defective products removal.

Choose one of SM Contact equipment configuration to manufacture gastight, vibration resistant, compact connection with low electrical resistance.

STANDARD FEATURES

Cast iron frame

In contrast to the machines assembled from separate parts by screws, SM Crimp 2000 cast iron frame warrants perfect stability during crimping.
Splice band

Splice band is defined according to the type of application and environment temperature range: splice band type and material (brass, brass with tin coating, chrome-nickel, chrome-nickel with tin coating, stainless steel), thickness (0.2 – 0.53 mm), length (1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 mm), and height.
Crimp height adjustment

Crimp height adjustment panel contains a dial and an alphabetical indicator to set up an appropriate crimp height if necessary.
Motorized splice band feeding system

Rubber surface of a feeding wheel prevents damages of the splice band. Special sensor controls the length of each splice.
Control panel

All the controls except the power switch are located at the control panel. With 5 buttons and a display it is possible to control the quantity of products, inputs and outputs, interface language, tooling technical data, feeding system and activate emergency stop.

Interface is available in different languages.
Hand wheel

Hand wheel is used to perform manual cycle for testing the system before production, i.e. centering the clincher. Wheeling moves the punch down and allows to monitor splicing process in general as well as positioning of the tooling.
Crimping tooling set

Tooling set includes clincher, anvil, punch, punch guide, and cutting block.
Such parameters as clincher type, clincher size, and punch tip shape are customized for the application.
Inclined clincher surface, smooth cutting surface, quick-change tooling cassette, and finger guard lighting cap guarantees efficient & safe operation.

OPTIONS

Crimp Force Monitor (CFM)

CFM captures force-time curve and detects any deviation from the quality tolerances. System works with many types of splicing and crimping machines and suites well to any application requiring inline monitoring of forces.

The reference curve of CFM corresponds to crimping force, but in fact it can reflect such quality deviations as: missing wire strands, inaccurate components positioning or crimp height, insufficient insulation strip length, insulation in the splice area, etc.
Component position video verification

Built-in camera shoots the clincher area and transfers the image to the monitor in real time. Thus operator is capable to position components precisely.
Cutting unit

Cutting unit cuts the components after splice crimping so that their ends protruding out of the splice band from one side are of equal length. It suits wires of up to 1,5 mm2 diameter.

CFM and cutting unit can be integrated to cut defective parts in halves.
Quality control equipment

Laboratory equipment allows to control whether the splice quality matches industry norms or any other special requirements. Check our micrograph laboratories, pull force and crimp height control tools, as well as specialized measurement software.

Manual/ automatic fixture

Allows accurate positioning of the components. Fine adjustment of the height position of components. Prevents double crimps in same position. Machine has a sensor detecting jig presence on a fixture.

Manual fixture is moved by operator between loading and work positions manually. Automatic fixture moves between loading and work positions automatically with servomotor.
Jig

Removable or build-in part of a fixture that perfectly fits the shape of components and thus allows its precise positioning. If machine has 2 jigs, while one is processing, second can be reloaded by another operator. Jig could be adapted to the components depending on its quantity, shape, materials.

Built-in camera shoots the clincher area and transfers the image to the monitor in real time. Thus operator is capable to position components precisely.
Cutting unit

Cutting unit cuts the components after splice crimping so that their ends protruding out of the splice band from one side are of equal length. It suits wires of up to 1,5 mm2 diameter.

CFM and cutting unit can be integrated to cut defective parts in halves.
Bimanual cycle start

Requires two hands touch to start the cycle to eliminate hands presence in work zone.
POKA YOKE

Allows controlling utilization of NG/NOK components. If CFM detects quality deviation and estimates connection as NG/NOK, then machine stops operation and waits until NG/NOK component is placed to POKA YOKE bin.
Components camera control

According to the selected program, high/low definition camera takes picture and controls components` position, color and stripping length. High or low definition is selected depending on size of components.
HMI

HMI system shows the complete work algorithm, indicating the current step and step when the failure occurred if any. It can be displayed as an algorithm graphics or product visualization.
HMI provides intuitive process control. It is possible to readjust all the sensors, including CFM to the other product by choosing the corresponding program in the interface. Within password protected area one can switch machine subfunctions on/off.
Lighting & safety beams

Safety beams can be installed on the frame to detect foreign object presence and to stop the machine. This feature as well as work area lighting guarantees operator’s safety.
Double crimping

Two machines are used: one set up for one splicing type, another – for the second. This solution makes process faster and perfectly fits if product consists of different sized crimping.
Frame & cabinet

Machine and all its components can be integrated into floor mount frame with PLC and HMI units for operation control.
Quality control equipment

Laboratory equipment allows to control whether the splice quality matches industry norms or any other special requirements. Check our micrograph laboratories, pull force and crimp height control tools, as well as specialized measurement software.
