DIE CLEARANCE MONITORING SYSTEM FOR CRIMPING DEVICE

A die clearance monitoring system (140) includes a light source (142), a light detector (144), and a controller (146). The light source is disposed along a front side (116) of a die set (102) of a crimping device (100) and emits light towards the die set. The die set includes a first crimp die (104) and a second crimp die (106) that engage and crimp an object along a crimp stroke. The light detector is disposed along a rear side (118) of the die set. The light detector receives the emitted light (504) from the light source that traverses across the die set through a gap (306) defined between the first and second crimp dies and generates light absorption data based on the emitted light that is received. The controller is communicatively connected to the light detector. The controller processes the light absorption data to determine a relative spacing between the first crimp die and the second crimp die. 一种模具间隙监测系统(140)包括光源(142)、光检测器(144)和控制器(146)。光源沿着压接装置(100)的模组(102)的前侧(116)设置并向模组发射光。模组包括第一压接模具(104)和第二压接模具(10
