Sense
- Highly responsive sensors custom fit for even the most challenging crimp force monitoring applications
Highly Sensitive
- A versatile high performance sensor developed specifically for crimp force monitoring and is ideally suited for small gauge, low force crimping applications.
- Provides a high resolution crimp signature for superior defect detection
- More sensitive than quartz or piezoelectric sensors
True “Plug and Play”
- The PBT sensor is a complete substitute of the existing Ram Adapter
- Proven to be stable and reliable in challenging production environments
- Exceeds the high level of performance expectations for crimp force monitoring
Ram Adapter Replacement
- Simply swap-out the existing Ram Adapter or (T-shank holder) for an identically shaped PBT Force sensor
- The PBT Force Sensor detects the dynamic compression that is exerted through the Ram Adapter region, above the applicator tool, during the terminal crimping process
No More Shunting Effects
- Overcomes the limitations of conventional sensors including the risk of edge loading, overloading and shunting
- Shunting occurs when forces bypass (or are transferred in parallel to) the sensor and proceed into the base of the press.
- Shunting negatively impacts a crimp force monitors effectiveness and this is a risk when using mechanically mounted sensors
Developed & Patented by OES
- PBT sensor technology has been developed by OES specifically to address the needs of the wire crimping industry
- PBT Force sensors work exclusively with the ForceWorx and ForceView line of crimp force monitors
PBT typically includes:
- PBT Force Sensor
- Connecting cables
