Monitor crimp in real-time to catch and identify
crimp process defects

The crimp process involves compressing two pieces of metal or another malleable material together through a process of deformation such as bending. This process is used for a variety of applications, including electronics and medical device manufacturing—applications that require the utmost reliability in the field. 

Without reliable process monitoring and defect detection, crimp defects are often not detected until much later in the assembly process, when they are more difficult and costly to fix. Sciemetric’s system offers reliable defect detection in real time, and the data insights you need to solve the problem.

Typical issues identified using a crimp force quality monitor and crimping defect analysis include:

  • Missing wires or terminals
  • Missing or soft crimps
  • Missing strands or ears
  • Debris caught in the terminal
  • Double crimps
  • Incorrect wire gage
  • Improper placement

Gain visibility into your process using waveforms and reporting at the station

Get a more accurate crimping defect analysis—our system catches defects other systems miss 

Sciemetric’s patented digital process signature technology records more datapoints to create a digital “fingerprint” for the best possible visibility into your process. Sciemetric’s crimp monitoring approach relies on press force monitoring, measuring force versus distance and force versus time waveforms during the entire crimping process for full visibility into your process—providing unmatched detail and defect detection, directly at the station!
