23122 – Automatic Terminal Crimping Press

This machine is designed for precise terminal crimping into boards by deforming the terminal flange.

Purpose of the machine

The process of crimping terminals into a board by deforming the terminal flange is intended to provide initial terminal retention and ensure correct positioning of the components prior to soldering.

The machine can also be equipped with:

interchangeable tooling adapted to a specific part reference.

Operating principle

The machine is operated by a single operator. The process begins once the components (terminals and board) have been loaded into the fixture. The cycle is initiated when the operator presses the Start button. This triggers the working movement of the pneumo-hydraulic cylinders, which can generate a maximum pressing force of up to 10 kN. During the crimping process, the force is measured to verify correct part execution. Once the cylinders retract, the finished part can be removed.

Machine design

STRUCTURE

The machine features a modular steel support frame designed to withstand operational loads, along with an enclosure made of aluminium profiles used to mount the guards for the press working area.

PNEUMO-HYDRAULIC CYLINDERS

The machine is equipped with two TOX pneumo-hydraulic cylinders, each generating force independently for each crimped terminal. The system includes pressure sensors responsible for pressure measurement, which is then converted into force values.

INTERCHANGEABLE TOOLING

The machine is equipped with a quick tool change system, allowing easy and efficient replacement of tooling.

OPERATOR PANEL

The control elements and display allow the operator to set process parameters and monitor the operation. The operator panel is mounted on an articulated arm, making it possible to adjust its position to individual preferences.

SAFETY LEVEL

In accordance with the client’s guidelines and in line with the recommendations of PN-EN ISO 12100, the machine is equipped with a range of technical safety measures, including an emergency stop button, light curtain, and fixed guards.
