METHOD FOR CRIMPING A CRIMP ELEMENT TO A CONDUCTOR, CRIMP DEVICE, CONTROL UNIT AND MACHINE-READABLE PROGRAM CODE

Embodiments herein relate to a method for crimping a crimp element to a conductor by a crimp device comprising a crimping tool a crimp anvil, whereas at least one time-based signal is detected relating to the crimping process performed by the crimp device, whereas the at least one time-based signal is analysed by applying the at least one time-based signal to a trained neural network, whereas the trained neural network is configured to classify a result of a crimping process based on the received at least one time-based signal, whereas a classification result comprising at least a class corresponding to a non-defective crimp result and a class corresponding to a defective crimp result is provided, especially by the trained neural network, based on the classification performed by the trained neural network, whereas a control signal is generated and provided as output based on the determined classification result.
