 SmartDetect-CrimpCenter Option for Conductor Detection
Schleuniger’s new SmartDetect is a highly innovative quality monitoring option for its CrimpCenter series machines. The sensor-controlled system monitors the complete stripping process in real time and detects any contact between the stripping blade and the conductor, improving the quality of the machine’s output while maintaining optimal production rates. It also ensures stripping parameters are properly set and identifies incorrect configurations during set-up. SmartDetect can be fully integrated into CrimpCenter machines with EASY Software for simple operation. For customers who demand the highest level of quality assurance, SmartDetect is an excellent addition to your CrimpCenter machine.
