Method for crimping contact elements on foil strip conductors uses upper and lower crimping tools at preset points on a foil strip conductor by moving the tools on top of each other perpendicular to the foil strip conductor.

摘要

Upper and lower crimping tools crimp contact elements at preset points on a foil strip conductor (17) by moving on top of each other perpendicular to the foil strip conductor. The crimping tools are assigned to upper and lower crimping tool sledges. Along a conveying direction (11) for the foil strip conductor, a portal press (10) has longitudinal spars (12) in parallel alignment on a frame and set with a gap between each other. An Independent claim is also included for a device for carrying out the method of the present invention.
