Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A crimp tool includes a frame, a lead screw and a nut assembly connected to the lead screw. A spring member is connected to the frame and movable with rotation of the lead screw. A first transducer is connected to the nut assembly to measure a first force applied on the nut assembly. A second transducer is connected to the spring member to measure a second force applied thereon by the spring member.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A crimp tool, comprising: a frame; a lead screw; a nut assembly connected to said lead screw; a spring member connected to said frame and movable with rotation of said lead screw; a first transducer connected to said nut assembly to measure a first force applied on said nut assembly; and a second transducer connected to said spring member to measure a second force applied thereon by said spring member. 2. The crimp tool according to claim 1 , wherein said second force measurement is converted to a distance to determine a displacement of said spring member. 3. The crimp tool according to claim 1 , wherein said first and second transducers are connected to a circuit board to determine operating parameters of said crimp tool. 4. The crimp tool according to claim 3 , wherein said circuit board provides visual and/or audible indicia based on said first and second force measurements measured by said first and second transducers. 5. The crimp tool according to claim 1 , wherein a motor powers said lead screw. 6. The crimp tool according to claim 1 , wherein a computer is connected to said crimp tool to save said first and second force measurements.
