![]() Strip length, insulation diameter, copper diameter, wire splay all can be checked. Some of these defects include strands pressed on top of the crimp, insulation crimp wing defects, small movements of the insulation position in the "window", single wire strand sticking out either side of the crimp, long brush, seal placement, etc.Īdditionally wire stripping can be checked as the wire moves past the camera on the way to the crimp press. Defects that are difficult for traditional Crimp Force Monitors to detect are easily detected by crimp cameras. ![]() Crimp cameras are retrofitted to existing automatic crimping machines to realize 100% on-line inspection of crimps. Today most crimps are inspected indirectly by Crimp Force Monitors (CFM's) and visually by crimping equipment operators.Ĭrimp cameras are another tool that can be employed to further eliminate crimp defects from wire harnesses. ![]() The reliability of the wiring systems required to support these new technologies has to be guaranteed. The number of critical circuits in autonomous cars to support added cameras and sensors is far greater than today's cars. The number of critical circuits in today's cars is increasing as more sophisticated safety systems are being employed. The software will "find" the crimp and then apply all the inspection windows Reference finding system allows for deviations in wire position as it passes under the camera.This is a vision system designed only for the crimping process. This is not a general purpose vision system adapted to the crimp process. Standard crimp inspection "tools" have been developed. User friendly easy to program crimp inspection software.Output signals in less than 100 ms after picture taking. ![]() Signals for stopping the cutting machine when defects are detected, or automatically cutting defects.Specialized LED "Bottom" light for black and white strip check images.Specialized LED ring "Top" light for color crimp check images.Calibrated dimensional checks of strip length, insulation diameter, copper diameter. With or without strip check function depending on make and model of cutting machine.Adaptable to many but not all automatic crimping machines.Its not necessary to stop the wire for checking. Inspection on the fly at wire speed (arm speeds) up to 2.5 m/sec.
