Atometrics Image Dimension Measuring Instrument: Realizes fast and accurate dimension detection of stamped terminals | Industry Application

Image dimension measuring instrument

Stamped terminals are made by metal punch process and are used to connect electrical wires to electronic devices.

This article will introduce the importance of stamping terminal dimensional accuracy, influencing factors, and fast and accurate detection methods to help stamping terminal manufacturers reduce costs, improve yields, and shorten delivery times.

The importance of dimensional accuracy of stamped terminals

The threshold for stamped terminals used in complex scenarios is high, and they must ensure precise dimensions, excellent electrical performance, and durable reliability. Among them, poor dimensions will directly/indirectly affect multiple performances.

1. Mechanical performance of assembly: difficult assembly or unstable structure after assembly;

2. Electrical performance: increased resistance, overheating, and even overload or short circuit, affecting the stability and efficiency of electrical connections;

3. Reliability: fatigue or fracture occurs, affecting the durability and reliability of the product;

4. Cost control: high scrap rate, increased material and processing costs.

Factors affecting the dimensional accuracy of stamped terminals

Due to the small size and high-speed processing of stamped terminals, it is a specialized technology in the industrial processing segment.

1. Material properties: The metal properties of different materials, such as hardness, elasticity, and plasticity, will affect the dimensional control during the stamping process;

2. Mold manufacturing accuracy: Any slight error and quality problem of the mold may be magnified during the stamping process;

3. Punching pressure and speed: Punching pressure and speed cause excessive stretching or deformation of the material, affecting dimensional accuracy;

4. Process parameters: Parameters such as mold gap, lubrication, and material rebound all need to be precisely controlled to ensure dimensional accuracy.

High-speed production, product yield, and consistency are the biggest challenges for stamped terminal manufacturers, which require strict quality control systems such as dimensional measurement, electrical performance testing, and reliability testing.
