Reasons Why the Benchtop Terminal Crimping Machine Sometimes Doesn’t Crimp

Sometimes, benchtop terminal crimping machines encounter various process-related faults during the production of terminals. When facing these issues in manufacturing, prompt solutions are essential to address the problems. Here, we summarize some potential problems that you may encounter, hoping to provide you with some assistance.

Inconsistent Cutting Length of Electronic Wires:
Possible reasons include the wire feeding wheel of the terminal machine being too tight or too loose. The solution is to adjust the straightener to straighten the wire and ensure smooth feeding. If necessary, replace the worn-out cutting blade.

Varying Stripping Lengths:
The wire feeding wheel may be too tight or loose. Adjust the gap between the two wheels using the rolling wheel adjustment device to prevent wire flattening or slipping. Also, adjust the depth of the stripping blade to the appropriate position to avoid damaging the copper wire while ensuring smooth stripping.

Failure to Start or Stop During Operation:
Check for power input (220V) and 6KG air pressure. Ensure that the set total quantity has been reached. If not, reset and restart after power off. Inspect for any wire entanglement or obstruction in the machine’s moving parts. Check for signal or power connection issues that may cause the machine to malfunction.

Uneven Copper Wire Exposure After Crimping:
Check if the gun-type swing arm guide matches the wire. Ensure that the terminal machine blade is aligned with the swing arm guide. Tighten any loose auxiliary pressure blocks. Verify that the distance between the terminal machine and the automatic machine remains unchanged.

Excessive Noise from the Terminal Machine:
Minor noise from the terminal machine is normal. However, excessive noise may indicate increased friction due to wear between components or parts. Check for loose screws causing part vibration during operation.

Motor Failure in the Terminal Machine:
Check the position of the clutch and ensure the fuse is not burnt out.

Continuous Crimping by the Terminal Machine:
Inspect if the switch near the main shaft of the terminal machine is damaged or if any screws are loose. Check for any damage to the circuit board or foot pedal of the terminal machine. Ensure that the actuator spring is not detached or broken and has sufficient elasticity.

Unresponsive Terminal Machine:
Check if the power cord is connected properly and if there are any issues with the wiring. Inspect the circuit board for damage. Verify the functionality of each switch. Check if the foot pedal is burnt out. Test the electromagnetic coil for magnetism and signs of burning.

These are the potential solutions to the eight types of faults discussed today. Promptly addressing faults encountered during terminal production demonstrates whether a company has a robust production management system in place. We hope this article is helpful.
