Crimpers, Applicators, Presses: DL-568BTR Application Field and Working Principle

Crimpers, applicators, and presses make up the equipment used in the connector assembly process, ranging from movable manual tools to robotic systems. One of these, the DL-568BTR Hydraulic Compression Assembly Machine, is especially capable of precision crimping and applicator with superior control and speed. The DL-568BTR excels in both versatility and performance for numerous assembly manufacturing applications.

Application Fields

The DL-568BTR is suitable for many specialist tasks in connector manufacturing, including:

• Forming a variety of terminals.
• Applying insulation crimp barrels, which normally consist of die crimp heads and insulation displacement connect (IDC) heads.
• Assembly of connectors to wire harnesses.
• Integration with a customer\'s production line.
• Quick manufacturing for both prototypes and large production runs.

The DL-568BTR is designed for use in production processing lines in the automotive, appliance, and electronics industries. However, its versatility enables it to be used in other application areas, including aerospace, communications, and machined parts manufacturing.

Working Principle

The DL-568BTR is an automated hydraulic crimper that works using a process called “crimping by reciprocating motion.” In this process, the combination head makes a reciprocating movement to fall in and out of the crimping area, where crimping occurs by the combination of a die and roller, or a pre-crimped die.

This combination head is made up of two main components, a die and a roller (for crimping the conductor strands). It is driven by a hydraulically powered piston, providing superior control, accuracy, repeatability, and ease of maintenance.

When in the crimping region, the moveable die is actuated towards the conductor and forms a crimp using the principle of pressure and motion. This eliminates the slipping of the conductor strand due to the friction of the die and roller, thus providing for consistent crimp quality. The reciprocating motion also ensures that the conductor is locked in place, contributing to enhanced connection integrity.

The DL-568BTR’s advanced design also includes other features, such as positional detection sensors, crimp monitoring, press shutdowns, and jet pulling systems that improve safety and promote consistent productivity.

Conclusion

The DL-568BTR Hydraulic Compression Assembly Machine provides the perfect solution for a range of connector assembly applications with its superior control, precision, and speed. Its versatile design allows it to be used in various industries, from automotive and aerospace to communications and machining. Combined with its reliable reciprocating motion crimping process and other advanced features, it offers a reliable, cost-effective solution for stress-free connector assembly production.
