At Desoutter Industrial Tools, Crimping Quality is Checked under the Microscope.
E-Pulse new-generation electrical screwdrivers by Desoutter Industrial Tools offer an alternative to pneumatic screwdrivers with low reaction forces thanks to a patented pulse system. The screw is no longer tightened continuously, but in sudden movements. This approach does, however, increase the level of vibrations applied to the tool's electrical connector. On this basis, it is critical to adapt the crimping of the connector wires to these new conditions. Desoutter contacted Cetim in view of an in-depth analysis of the crimping of copper wires. Micrographic sections of the cables crimped using various pliers settings were taken prior to the analysis, and subsequently evaluated using a digital microscope. In this way, the distribution of the copper strands in the crimped section was displayed and measured. Desoutter used this approach to determine optimal crimping parameters with its connector supplier, to reinforce the reliability of screwdriver connectors.
