Class leading performance

 

The CFA1000 has been designed to detect the

following common problems:

 

• Missing/bent wire strands

• Incorrect insulation strip

• Strands outside main crimp

• Insulation in main crimp

• Insulation crimp faults

• Crimp misfeeds

• Incorrect wire use

• Incorrect terminal use

 

Bringing the following key benefits

 

• Improved quality

• Eradication of tooling breakage

• Reduced machine downtime

• Reduced production costs

Class leading technology

 

As the result of 3 years R&D effort with some

of the industry’s leading names, the

Circuitmaster CFA1000 represents the current

state of the art in Crimp Force Analysis. The

patented 3 zone algorithm combined with

application of the very latest technology allows

the CFA1000 to offer unprecedented levels of

good/bad sorting whilst remaining easy

and intuitive to use.

CFANET

 

CFANET allows up to 255 units to be networked

together. This allows quality data to be gathered

in a central place for storage and analysis. In

addition the system allows remote setup of CFA

parameters ensuring that correct settings are

always used on the shop floor.

Class leading flexibility

 

The flexibility of the CFA1000 allows the

system to be used in virtually any target wire

preparation application.

A self trigger mode allows the unit to be used

where no access is possible for encoder

fitment, whilst force sensing can be provided

by either standard base plate or inline ram

sensor.

The system is equally flexible wh
en machine

and peripheral interface is considered. Four

freely programmable relay outputs allow

configuration for machine,chopper and paper

reel interface. This feature being further

extended by the addition of two opto isolated

inputs.
