Benefits Of Magnetic Pulse Crimping
Green & Clean Process
- Uses low amounts of energy
- No grease, oil or fumes
Lower Costs
- Optimizes component thicknesses, resulting in weight and cost savings
- Improved longevity of electrical connections resulting in less down time, less maintenance
Product Performance
- Reduced resistance
- Improved tensile strength
- Higher compression eliminates air gaps between strands in cables
- Improved surface contact between crimped components
- Use with dissimilar metals
Process Performance
- Ability to compress almost any tubular, electrically conductive par (e.g. copper or aluminum)
- Excellent repeatability
- Can replace ultrasonic welding or mechanical crimping for cables
- Quick change over, resulting in time savings
- Accommodates wide range of wire sizes, in excess of 300 sq mm
Premium Technology
| Magnetic Pulse Crimping | Conventional Crimping | |
| Electrical Resistance | Reduced resistance | Increased resistance |
| Compression Rate | Higher compression eliminates air gaps between strands | Air gaps present with big cable sections |
| Crimp Resistance & Durability | Improved tensile strength with minimal relaxation over time<br> Highest performance with vibration and pull force testing | Higher relaxation over time<br> Limited vibration and pull force resistances |
| Materials Combinations | Use with dissimilar materials (e.g. Cu/Al, Cu/Cu, Al/Al, etc.) <br> Ability to compress almost any tubular copper or aluminum part | Strong limitations<br> Cu/Al crimps do not pass cycling tests |
| Cost | Optimizes component thicknesses, resulting in weight and cost savings <br>Improved longevity of electrical connections resulting in less down time, less maintenance | Higher thicknesses required<br>More down times and more frequent maintenance due to lower longevity of electrical connections |
| Wire Size | Accommodates wide range of wire sizes, in excess of 300mm2 – with no air gaps | Degradation in performance in cables over 70mm2 |
