Having a great setup tech is key to a crimp die operating properly. Every aspect of the material from feeding the terminals into the fixture, positioning, application and cutting off of the terminal from the carrier reel can create variability in the finished product if everything is not aligned, sharp and accurate.
Electricity does not discriminated on connection quality and will pass voltage so long as there is a physical link of any size from wire to wire. This creates variability in the quality of various connections because of other factors created as a result of less than adequate connection.
Electrical Resistance and Heat are the two main failures created when a wire to wire connection is done wrong…
The idea of the digital transformation comes as a result of innovating the backbone systems controlling our online experiences. Algorithms dictate much of what we see, how we influence others through marketing, and our overall digital reach as businesses.
If we can learn to understand how these systems work for us, we can best use them for our benefit if we can transform how we do things to excite them.
There are some basic facts about how these algorithms function:
It is a known fallacy that different countries around the world use different limits, certifications and safety devices on electrical products that may or may not be legal and certifiable in other regions such as North America where advanced auditing, safety protocols and devices have been created as a result of dangerous products being audited and made safe.
Other certifications sometimes contrast with CSA and UL requirements so machines and devices adhering to other markets need to be readdressed when that product enters the North American Market.
Wire mills around the world each manufacture wire with a variety of requirements and certifications governing their quality. In North America, you will most often see the markings of CSA and/or UL as well as markings specific to industries like automotive and aerospace such as SAE, CE, MIL-XXX etc. depending on application.
Every performance characteristic about a wire is defined within the certifications like maximum operating voltage, flame retardance and burn characteristics, temperature tolerances, insulation thicknesses, platings on conductors.
One of the main ways to ensure custom wire harness products are in perfect working order before they leave the facility is to test them against known limits electrically….Especially in low voltage data circuits, small discrepancies in resistance values can cripple digital sensing systems that require tight control of a circuit. As more delicate and complex digital robotic circuits become popular and standard, noise shielding failures can cause sensitive data circuits to be inaccurate resulting in machine failures and miscommunications. Cirrus testers can test these sensitive values repeatedly during assembly to maintain circuit integrity to a high degree.
