The use of crimp applicators has existed since 1845. From that point until the present day, crimp applicators have seen constant innovation, improvement and refinement. This article seeks to provide an overview of the various types of crimp applicators available to the public and present a brief description of the working principles behind each of these devices.

Types of Crimp Applicators

There are two main categories of crimp applicators and these are manual and automatic machines. Manual machines are used in a laboratory or manufacturing environment and are primarily used to crimp specific terminations onto wire strands. These machines require precise setup and are suitable for use with limited number of operations.

Automatic crimp applicators are frequently used for mass-producing crimp connections and can be programmed to crimp a multitude of wires at once. These machines possess the advantage of having the ability to be programmed to crimp very specific connections with significant speed and accuracy. Automatic machines also have the potential to be automated beyond simple crimping making them highly valuable in larger production settings.

Working Principle of Crimp Applicators

Crimp applicators are extremely versatile tools that allow for a variety of tasks to be performed. The basic working principle of a crimp applicator is to press a specified connector onto the wire strands. This process requires the wiring and the connectors to be placed into the applicator and the applicator to have an appropriate pressure applied. The pressure then causes the connector to be crimped onto the wire strands.

Specialized crimp applicators can be used to apply specialized fittings such as compression or wire wrap terminals. These fittings require a higher pressure to be applied than standard connectors and as such require specialized tools to provide the necessary pressure. Furthermore, specialized tools such as star wheel crimpers are used in the application of star wheel connector terminals.

Advantages of Using Crimp Applicators

The use of crimp applicators provides a number of advantages over manually applying connectors by hand. Firstly, by using an automated machine it is possible to create repeatable and accurate connections. Additionally, these machines have the potential to significantly reduce labour costs due to the speed at which connections can be created. Finally, by automating the process, checks can be in place to ensure the safety of any connections.

Conclusion

Crimp applicators have been used since the 19th century and have gone on to become an integral part of the manufacturing sector due to their ability to quickly and accurately make connections. The various types of manual and automated machines can be used in a wide range of applications and have the potential to significantly reduce labour costs while maintaining accuracy and safety.
