Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1202404A1] The method involves connecting a crimp contact to a cable by a crimping process in which a crimping tool (12) of a crimping press is movable from a selectable starting position into a selectable crimping position and finally back to the starting position. The movements of a drive motor (2) and of the tool are measured and used to regulate the movement of the tool. Independent claims are also included for an arrangement for making a crimp connection.
