For pigtail splices or direct
connection of contacts to
magnet wire, the AMPLIVAR
Product Terminator (APT)
and strip-form AMPLIVAR
products offer a fast and
efficient system, with no
need to strip mag-wire
insulation. To apply a splice
or contact, simply place the
wires in the target area and
depress the foot switch. The
machine automatically
shears the splice or contact
from the strip, crimps it,
shears off excess wire, and
advances the next splice or
contact into position.
APT semi-automatic bench
machines are available in
two versions: the IIIA with
automatic precision
adjustment controlled by
the Crimp Quality Monitor
(CQM), and the IIE with
manual precision
adjustment.
With CQM, the APT IIIA
assists in achieving 6-sigma
processing capability. In
addition to providing 100%
inspection and automatic
adjustment of crimp heights
as needed, the CQM also
evaluates the quality of
each crimp. If a
questionable crimp is
detected, visual and
audible alarms alert the
operator.
For operations with multiple
wire sizes, the APT IIIA
provides programmable
sequencing of different
crimp-height settings, and
it can store up to 2,000
different programs of 7
different settings each. The
maximum time to auto-
adjust between
programmed crimp heights
is 2 seconds.
The lower cost, manual
adjust IIE is a simpler
version without CQM
capability, with the
advantage of faster set-up
times.
To avoid the need to
change product reels when
wire combinations are
smaller than the CMA range
of the splice or contact, an
optional stuffer (part no.
679323-1 for APT IIIA, part
no. 679323-2 for APT IIE.)
inserts a stuffer wire into
the splice or contact prior
to crimping, increasing
the total CMA to the
recommended range. The
wire stuffer unit is for pigtail
splices only.
