CRIMP DATA ANALYZER
CDA10
REV.01
The figure below shows the reference area, which is measured and used as a divider in calculation
of the non-correspondence. This helps to "normalise" the variation calculation, so that the
result for incorrect crimping on a large terminal is similar to the result for incorrect crimping on a
small terminal.
The crimping force curve non-correspondence is calculated using the formula:
Non-correspondence = 1000 * Non-correspondence area / Reference area.
Non-correspondence is a number without dimensions, that is always positive, that has no unit of
measure and the multiplication of the area by thousand is used to resize the value obtained to
make it easily manageable as an integer. A result that coincides with zero represents a perfect
correspondence between the curves, while the more the values increase, the more there are
greater differences between the force curves. Peak force does not directly influence the
calculation of non-correspondence, as can be seen from the above examples: curves with identical
peak forces can have a high discrepancy. The control unit shows the peak force as a secondary
value in the basic process configuration. If data is recorded for each job, problems can be identified
before the pull-out tests are performed.
