Abstract

Disclosed is a crimp machine capable of eliminating product management for a relay connector per an ID. In the crimp machine, by a power source line, a ground line, and a signal line being positioned between a terminal mount table to which a crimp connector disposed in the relay connector is mounted and a crimp blade, and by the crimp blade being move close to a terminal mount table, the power source line, the ground line, and the signal line are thus crimped, wherein a connection terminal is disposed on the terminal mount table and an ID is made to output from the connection terminal.

Claims

1. A crimp system for crimping an electric wire and a crimp connector mounted on a plurality of communication devices communicating via the electric wire, the crimp system comprising:

a plurality of crimp machines disposed per the plurality of communication devices, each crimp machine comprising;

a terminal mount table on which the crimp connector is to be placed;

a crimp member movable close to and away from the terminal mount table,

a connection terminal housed in the terminal mount table,

an electrical identification data setup device housed in the terminal mount table,

wherein

the electric wire is crimped to the crimp connector by positioning the electric wire between the terminal mount table and the crimp member, and by moving the crimp member close to the terminal mount table,

the connection terminal is electrically connected to the crimp connector placed on the terminal mount table, and

the electrical identification data is output from the electrical identification data setup device via the connection terminal to the crimp connector of each communication device, and

wherein the plurality of crimp machines outputs from each of the connection terminals an identification date different from each other.
