 How to check crimp terminals on cables: A good crimping of a terminal on a cable increases the usable life time of the connection and avoids micro cuts when using the cable in a car or an aircraft. When do you check wire terminal crimps ? During the manufacturing cycle and at each change of processing settings, including: - Checking the first batch manufactured - Check for each new setup of machines or crimping pliers (tool exchange) - Check each coil change (if terminals are supplied in a coil) - Interim checks (every 1000 crimps for example) - Check the final crimp Read more |

Carousel for tensile tests on terminals Our accessory carousel is designed for maintaining crimp terminals during quality tensile tests to determine the break force of crimps.
It can be used with all types of crimp terminals (spade lugs, lugs round spades, spades flags) but also for crimp pins or crimp sleeves fitted to the beams and electrical harnesses.
With its 8 slots with various openings, the operator may test the cable with a size between AWG24 to AWG14 without changing the holding accessory.
The carousels are generally associated with a self-closing wedge clamp or an eccentric clamp to maintain the cable without damaging it.
Com-Ten also offers solutions for attaching cables larger than AWG10 and testing power cables and beam power supply connections.
