CS2500 | INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
4. General description
Elpress crimp station CS2500 is a product designed for harness production.
A foot pedal operated crimp unit connected to a separate electro hydraulic pump give several
opportunities to form individual working stations in most places.
The concept is to combine high productivity with high crimp quality, all the time with high
personal safety and ergonomics.
With use of a fast locking and unlocking screw function the terminal can be fixed in the correct
crimp position with a very low force. This avoids risk of accidents.
As the available crimping force is very high, only one crimpcycle. Crimp force is individual
programmable and selfadjusting in two steps, high and low, for optimal durability and energy
saving.
Elpress patented DUAL system is build in for use with Elpress terminals of type KRF/KSF.
All set parameters relevant to the function of the system as well as the pressure build up of each
crimp cycle, are continuously monitored and logged into the electronic control module. Most of
the information can be directly read on the display after each crimp cycle. More information can
be seen using display menu and by pressing menu buttons on membrane keyboard on crimp unit.
For further crimp analysis, crimp data can be transferred to a PC and then studied and saved as
traceable protocols for manufacturing batches, calibration etc.
If the memory is full and crimps are not to be transferred to PC computer memory can be deleted
by use of ”clear logs” function in the main menu.
The special developed PC software is called ELPRESS ANALYZER and can be easy installed by using
ELPRESS ANALYZER Manual. This software gives the user a tool for process control in realtime.
The control system also has a self-diagnostic functionality where fault messages makes the
operator aware of eventual disturbances.
The operator controls the equipment with the foot pedal. Display on crimp unit shows actual
status and relevant information. Both displays shows the same information.
