  • a contact feed unit with a supply roll for the contact strip with the crimp contacts and a paper strip unwinder can be docked.
  • Several contact feed units can be stored in a separate storage rack. The individual contact feed units must be removed from the storage rack and then inserted into the crimping station. The replacement process or the conversion of the machine with other crimp contacts is difficult and requires some skill from the operator of the machine. There are also longer downtimes which have a negative impact on productivity.
  • a generic comparable arrangement is from the US 8,176,626 B2 known.
  • This arrangement comprises a supply unit for storing and supplying crimp contacts to a crimping station, which can be moved simply by pushing or pulling using transport wheels.
  • the mobile supply unit has vertical side walls spaced apart from one another, between which a supply roll and a paper rewinder are each rotatably mounted.
  • this arrangement does not meet higher demands in terms of efficiency and productivity. Longer downtimes can result, for example, when a supply roll with the crimp contacts runs empty. In this case, the old or empty supply roll must be removed and a new or full supply roll installed. The contact strip must be re-threaded.
  • the EP 2 592 703 A2 which belongs to the prior art under Article 54 (3) EPC, discloses a feed device for a crimping unit.
  • the feed device has a first movable carriage and a second movable carriage, for receiving and delivering one contact element band each.
  • the supply unit Since the supply unit is designed to be mobile, it can easily be moved to the crimping station, the supply unit preferably being designed to be movable. When not in use, it could be parked in a separate parking space.

With this configuration, the mobile supply unit essentially only has to be rotated or moved through 180 ° in order to move from the first docking position to the second docking position. Another advantage of this configuration is the particularly good accessibility for retooling and other work in the area with the supply roll not used for crimping.

  • the mobile supply unit can comprise at least two tool positions for placing a crimping tool in a parking position, each tool position being assigned a supply roll or a roll holder for storing a supply roll. For crimping, the corresponding crimping tool would have to be inserted in the crimping station (in a working position).
  • the crimping station can comprise two crimping presses and can be configured such that at least two mobile supply units can be docked onto the crimping station. One supply unit can be docked for each crimping press. With such an arrangement, the productivity of the arrangement according to the invention can again be increased considerably.
