In the context of modern industry, the transmission of electrical energy and signals is ubiquitous.
And what ensures these connections are reliable and efficient are often the seemingly inconspicuous but crucial components - wiring terminals.
These precision metal parts are not handmade, they were born from a powerful and efficient equipment: terminal punch presses.
This article will take you to a deeper understanding of the "efficiency engine" in modern manufacturing.
一、 Definition: What is a terminal punch press?
Terminal punch press is a high-speed precision press specifically designed for large-scale and high-speed stamping production of electrical terminal blocks.
It is not a simple stamping equipment, but an integrated molding system that integrates precision machinery, automation control, and high-performance molds.
Its core mission is to transform rolled metal strips into thousands of precision terminals of identical size and shape through continuous stamping deformation.
二、 Core Structure: Perfect Collaboration of a Precise System
An efficient terminal punching system consists of the following core modules, which work together like a cohesive orchestra, playing the music of production.
High rigidity host body: This is the "skeleton" of the device.
It is usually welded from high-quality cast iron or steel plates, and undergoes precision machining and stress relief treatment to ensure minimal deformation during hundreds or even thousands of stamping processes per minute, providing a stable working foundation for the entire system.
Its core transmission mechanism (such as crankshaft, eccentric gear) and high-speed clutch/brake system ensure precise slider movement and rapid start stop.
Heart and Brain - Servo Feeding System and Control System:
Servo feeder: This is the "heart" of the system, responsible for precise "feeding" of the mold.
It intermittently feeds metal strip into the mold with extremely high repeatability accuracy (up to ± 0.01mm or higher) by strictly synchronizing with the punch spindle, advancing a fixed "pitch" each time.
Its accuracy directly determines the accuracy of each hole position and spacing of the terminal.
PLC and touch screen control system: This is the "brain" of the system.
The operator sets all parameters (speed, travel, output, etc.) through a user-friendly touch screen.
PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) precisely coordinates the punching action, feeding timing, lubrication system, etc., achieving fully automated operation and real-time monitoring of status and fault diagnosis.
三、Application area: The cornerstone of connecting the world
Wherever electrical connections are needed, there are wiring terminals, and their punching equipment has also penetrated into various industries
·The automotive industry: producing countless connector terminals in automotive wiring harnesses requires extremely high reliability and consistency.
·Consumer electronics: The connectors and terminals inside products such as mobile phones, computers, and home appliances tend to be smaller and more precise.
·Industrial Control and Energy: High current terminals in circuit breakers, relays, distribution cabinets, and new energy equipment require strong surge force and high stability.
The terminal punch press, hidden deep in the production line, is a concentrated embodiment of modern industrial precision, efficiency, and automation.
Although it does not produce the final product, it is the foundation for the birth of countless end products.
It silently forges every tiny node connecting our world with the power of steel and the wisdom of electronics, and is undoubtedly the 'precision manufacturing engine'.
