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 machine for crimping an electric wire and a crimp connector mounted to a plurality of communication devices communicating via the electric wire, the crimp machine comprising:

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

a crimp member movable close to and away from the terminal mount table, wherein the electric wire is crimped to the crimp connector by the electric wire being positioned between the terminal mount table and the crimp member, and by the crimp member being moved close to the terminal mount table;

a connection terminal disposed to the terminal mount table and arranged to be electrically connected to the crimp connector mounted to the terminal mount table; and

an identification data setup device allowing the connection terminal to output an identification data.

2. The crimp machine as claimed in claim 1, wherein the connection terminal is provided with a connection pin projecting from the terminal mount table toward the crimp connector and a spring biasing the connection pin toward the crimp connector.

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

the plurality of crimp machines as claimed in claim 1 and disposed per the plurality of communication devices, wherein

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