How to ensure the quality of crimp connectors

Crimp connectors are essential for secure electronic connections, especially in the automotive and aerospace industries, where vibrations and environmental factors demand high contact quality. Manufacturing involves high-speed stamping processes, requiring precise geometry and material thickness.

Challenges:

Exact connector geometry – Deviations affect fit and function.
Consistent material thickness – Essential for durability and electrical performance.
Symmetry & parallelism – Misalignments can lead to connection failures.
Precise crimp contour – Ensuring a stable flow of current.

Solution:
High-precision measurements with the FocusX measuring device FocusX equipped with the Real3DUnitX enable reliable quality control:

Crimp contour & contact area cross-section analysis
Crimp area geometry & CAD comparison for quality assurance
Measurement of symmetry, parallelism & material thickness to prevent defects
