Always looking for excellence: setting curves and insertion curves.

The precision and quality of Escubedo connection systems, whether standard or customized, reaches the highest levels of demand.

A very important role in this performance is played by the crimping curves and the insertion curves. Below we will tell you a little more about the role they play in the production of our connectors:

Crimping curves

Crimping curves are used to define the crimping parameters so that the wirer can make the wire connection as efficiently as possible with our applicator.

With the applicator we define the necessary crimping height for optimum compression and, also taking the width into account, we calculate both the size of the terminal and that of the copper wires.

Escubedo goes one step further, and with this process, we define the crimp curve based on all actual cable sections, not just nominal ones.

Insertion curves

It has always been sought that the force necessary to join the male and female is as little as possible, so reducing the insertion forces is always a priority. And that is why the points of contact that can increase the effort are key.

Thanks to the technological equipment with which we define the insertion curve, we obtain ultra-precise information on the entry speed and the entire insertion path. We thus control all aspects of the traversal, including where the maximum insertion value occurs.

Through an automatic graph with the distance traveled vs. the effort required at each point, we measure not only the connection but also the disconnection.

With the graph we can detect any irregularity in the terminal's manufacture.

In addition, we complete the process by defining the tolerance band, some lines that on the graph show the path that the lines of the insertion curve should follow.

Even if the effort levels are correct, if the path followed is not optimal, the terminal is discarded.
