Solutions for Stronger, More Efficient Electrical Connections
Amada Weld Tech, a leading manufacturer of welding, marking, cutting, sealing, and bonding technology, highlights its comprehensive range of wire compacting heads - which are designed to address the evolving needs of the automotive, aerospace, and electronics industries where robust and reliable electrical connections are critical – on a new, dedicated web page.
As high-performance applications increasingly demand more efficient, durable cable assemblies, wire compacting and wire crimping have become vital processes. Amada Weld Tech’s compacting and crimping solutions transform stranded wires into solid, cuboid shapes, resulting in connections that are stronger, more reliable, and free of projecting wires. This approach reduces contact resistance, which minimizes heat generation at the joint and can extend the lifespan of electrical systems by mitigating thermal cycling and mechanical stress. The elimination of additional components, like terminal lugs and wire end sleeves, streamlines assembly, may reduce overall product weight, and lower manufacturing costs, making the process highly attractive for manufacturers seeking efficiency and cost savings.
Amada Weld Tech’s compacting and crimping technology is particularly well-suited for copper wires, with or without tin or silver plating, and is effective for a wide range of wire sizes, including twisted pairs and multi-sheathed cables. The company’s solutions are already in use for applications such as safety belt and temperature sensors, battery electrical distribution, airbag initiators, and Y and T cable connections in electric vehicles.
The new, dedicated webpage provides detailed product information and allows customers to filter by compacting force and copper braid cross-sectional area to compare products, thereby assisting engineers and manufacturers in identifying possible solutions for their specific needs.
With this launch, Amada Weld Tech continues to support its customers in achieving superior quality, efficiency, and reliability in their electrical connections, backed by decades of expertise and innovation in resistance welding and joining technologies.
