Crimpers, Applicators, Presses

In the industrial and manufacturing sectors, the term “Crimpers, Applicators, Presses” is usually applied to a range of products that perform a pressurizing process which is used in the assembly of parts. These machines are able to ensure greater accuracy and repeatability of the joint. Most commonly, they are used to physically connect two components (usually wires or cables) together permanently, often with crimped terminal connectors or soldered points.

The 528383-4 is one such machine, and it is used in the field of cable assembly. It is a precise, automated connector pressurizing machine used in the assembly and manufacture of control cable connectors.

Design

The 528383-4 is designed in the form of a control panel with two automated pressurizing units - a horizontal and a vertical one. The two units are connected by a synchronous drive, which allows them to share the same power input simultaneously. The two units allow for precise pressurization of vertical and horizontal cables respectively. The control panel is also equipped with a user-friendly touchscreen LCD.

Applications

This machine is designed for use in fields such as automotive, electronics, defense and aerospace, telecommunications, and cable assembly. It is used in applications such as:

• Connecting larger cables and components
• Precision cable and wire assembly
• Weather-proofing of components
• Protective cover assembly

Working Principle

The principle of operation of the 528383-4 is based on pressurizing the components in order to securely connect them. It uses both horizontal and vertical pressurizing units. The two units are connected to a synchronous drive, which is operated by the LCD control panel. Once the connections have been made, the pressurization process can be stopped manually or automatically when the desired pressure is reached.

The pressurization process itself is based on a pressure barrel. This device is filled with a mixture of air and oil, which is then pressurized to the desired level. The pressure barrel then transfers the pressurization pressure to the components, firstly equilibrating it, and then applying it.

The LCD control panel is used to regulate the process. It can be used to set the desired pressure, manage the duration of the pressurization process, and monitor the progress of the operations. It also displays all important information about the process, such as the pressure levels, the duration of the pressurization, and the remaining time before the process is completed.
