1.0 –Operation 1.1 In Production The production screen (also
referred as popup) displays the crimp signature following each
crimp cycle with a PASS/FAIL indicator.
The CFM captures and analyzes the crimp force signature from all
production crimps. The crimp signature from each production cycle
is compared to the learned reference signature for process
variation error. OES’s Cumulative Deviation Analysis (CDA) computes
the process variation error relative to the reference signature.
Three regions of the crimp force signature (R1, R2, & R3) are
analyzed for process variation error relative to a tolerance limit
for discrimination of good or defective crimps. The vertical bar on
the right side of the screen represents the total crimp process
variation error relative to the CDA tolerance limit (by default
CDA-L is 125.0). This CDA tolerance limit (CDA-L) will discriminate
between good and defective crimps.

ForceView3 User Manual 5 Revision 1.0 August 2014
The CFM provides detailed view of the crimp signature and the trend
of the process error relative to the CDA limit for the previous 20
crimps.
If the computed crimp process variation error exceeds the CDA
limit, this is considered a crimp defect. The crimp defect
condition is displayed on the production screen as shown and will
inhibit the machine through the CFM electrical interface.

The CFM also monitors for a characteristic change in the force
signature. This enables the CFM to target crimp defects such as
high insulation and other crimp errors that can only been seen in
the shape change of the force signature. This example below shows a
signature shape change that exceeds the CDA limit and is displayed
as “Curve Mismatch”.
The Curve Mismatch is confirmed on the operator display. The crimp
process variation error is displayed in orange.

ForceView3 User Manual 11 Revision 1.0 August 2014
A preconfigured minimum number of crimp samples are required to
create a new LEARN reference signature from which all production
signatures are compared.
To perform a new setup or changeover to a different crimp process
there is normally no requirement to make changes to CFM
configuration settings or tolerances. The default configuration
settings will provide consistent high performance for most crimping
processes and terminal/wire combinations. For certain crimp
monitoring processes, there may be a requirement to adjust the
configuration parameters to optimize the crimp monitor performance.
For these applications, the configuration parameters set can be
saved and recalled by a part number for efficient changeover. The
CFM can store an unlimited number of configuration settings by part
number.
1.7 Part Manager
Part numbers can be assigned to terminal/wire combinations that
require a unique set of configuration parameters. These CFM
configuration parameters are automatically recalled and applied by
part number. The part number is displayed over the trend
graph.

2.0 – Configuration 2.1 New Installation The CFM is designed for
installation onto a wide range of automatic machines. It is assumed
that the CFM has been installed, supplied with power, and the
appropriate sensor is installed and connected by sensor cable to
the CFM sensor input. The following steps are recommended for
successful configuration of the CFM:
Step 1 - Sensor Configuration Step 2 - Force Signature Capture Step
3 - Force Signature Analysis Step 4 - Machine Interface &
Control
To access the setup and configuration routines the user will first
need to enter a correct password. When prompted the default user is
‘admin’ and the default password is ‘oes’. Additional users can be
added as described in the “Security” section of this manual.
2.2 Adding a new device After installing and launching ForceView,
Click on CFM Device and select Add device (or enter Ctrl + N). A
window will come up with the available connections.
ForceView3 User Manual 16 Revision 1.0 August 2014
Select the connection going to the CFM. A new tab is created for
the device
2.3 Password Access
Password entry may be required to access some configuration
routines. By default the user “admin” has all privileges and the
password “oes”.
Following successful password entry, the Configuration menu options
are displayed and accessible.
2.4 Step 1 – Learn Parameters
Following a new setup and validation of crimp dimension, the CFM is
placed into Learn mode. A minimum number of crimp samples are
captured and averaged to compute the new learn reference signature
from which all production signatures will then be compared. The
Signature Learn configuration setting functions are as
follows:
ForceView3 User Manual 17 Revision 1.0 August 2014
Max Learn Variation - The CFM captures and averages the selected
minimum number of crimp signature samples to establish the learned
signature from which all production crimp signatures will be
compared. The Maximum Learn Variation is entered as a percent of
the maximum variation between each learn signature. Signature
samples within 3% variation relative to the previous signature are
accepted as Learn samples, while signatures with variation greater
than 3% of the previous sample average are excluded from the
learn.
Minimum Samples– is the minimum number of learn samples to
establish the learn reference signature. The selected minimum
number of learned samples can be set between 2 and 10
samples.
Maximum Samples - Is the maximum number of Learn samples/machine
cycles to establish the reference signature. If for example the
signatures captured exceed the variation then the maximum samples
may be reached resulting in a “LEARN FAILED” condition and the
machine will be inhibited.
Target Recalculation This allows the crimp reference signature to
adjust to normal changing process conditions. The value is the
interval of good parts at which the recalculation is performed. For
example, the default value of 16, means that a target recalculation
is performed every 16 good cycles below the recalculation
limit.
Recalculation Limit – Is the maximum CDA value a good part can have
to be used for a target recalculation.
Process Deviation Is a maximum limit on the Target Recalculation to
prevent excessive drifting of the process from original
learn.
2.5 Step 2 – Sensor Configuration
The CFM is compatible with OES full series of piezo dynamic force
sensor options – Piezo Strain, SenFit PBT, and Piezo Force sensors.
Piezo strain sensors are physically mounted in-line with the
compression force during the crimping process. The force sensor is
mounted into the ram or baseplate of the press and have a
calibrated maximum force range, which is entered as the Sensor
Range. The sensor range must be manually adjusted based on the
Sensor units required. Tension should be selected when using this
sensor.
ForceView3 User Manual 18 Revision 1.0 August 2014
Piezo Strain sensors detect the micro deflection of the press frame
during the crimping cycle. The strain sensor is bolted to the frame
and provides a micro-strain output relative to the tension or
compression exerted on the frame during the crimping process. The
mounting location of the strain sensor will determine the selection
of tension or compression. In most applications, the sensor is set
to “tension”, monitoring the micro tension (deflection) of the
press frame during the crimping process. PBT sensors are installed
in the ram of the press, allowing it to be vertically aligned and
in series with the crimp tooling. All of the force during the crimp
process is sensed as compression mode. The tension or compression
on the PBT and strain sensor output is scaled to engineering units
to provide a force measurement relative to the crimp force applied.
(**OES CAL5000 press analyzer is optionally used to scale the OES
CFM with strain sensor to an accurate absolute force measurement.
In many cases, calibration to absolute force measurement is not
required since crimp force monitoring is relative measurement to
detect the relative change in the process variation rather than
absolute measurement).
2.6 Step 3 – Signature Capture
The force signature capture default settings will provide correct
signature capture for most standard crimp presses. With the monitor
in learn, cycle the press and confirm that the entire signature is
captured and displayed. If the crimp signature is cutoff at the
beginning or end of the cycle, then there will be requirement to
adjust the force signature capture configuration settings. A
detailed explanation of each of the Force Signature Capture setting
is as follows: Start Level – the CFM is normally configured for
automatic trigger referencing the input threshold level of the
force sensor input to trigger the signature capture. The start
level is set as a % of the sensor input range with a default
setting of 5%. The start level is displayed as shown.
Filter – eliminates false trigger by ensuring that the force input
is greater than the Start Level threshold for the filter time
default ( 5 milliseconds). Signature capture will be initiated
after the force input exceeds the start level and maintained for
the filter time period.
ForceView3 User Manual 19 Revision 1.0 August 2014
The Pre-trigger is the time period in advance of the Start Level to
capture the beginning of the force signature. This time period is
entered in milliseconds. The default of 10ms will ensure capture of
the complete force signature for typical crimp presses. Certain
crimping presses with a slower press cycle rate may require a
longer pre-trigger time to capture the complete crimp force
signature. The Duration is the time period to capture the complete
crimp force signature following the Start Level. This time period
is entered in milliseconds. The default of 75ms will ensure
complete capture of the force signature for typical crimping
presses. Certain presses with a slower cycle rate may require a
longer duration time to capture the complete crimp force signature.
The Alignment aligns the reference learned force signature with the
force signature of every production crimp. The default alignment is
20% of the falling edge of the force signature. The alignment slope
is accessible by a user with “Advanced analysis settings” privilege
to ensure authorized entries only.
2.7 Step 4 – Signature Analysis The force signature analysis has
default settings that should ensure correct analysis for most
standard crimping processes and applications. Cumulative Deviation
Analysis (CDA) computes the crimp process variation error using 3
regions of the force signature when compared to the learn
signature. The computed error from each region is weighted and
accumulated for a total CDA-E. The CDA-E is normalized to a value
relative to a maximum process variation limit of 125.0. If the
CDA-E exceeds 125.0, this will be considered a crimp defect, and
the output signal is sent to the machine for control of the crimp
defect.
ForceView3 User Manual 20 Revision 1.0 August 2014
CDA-L - is the cumulative deviation analysis maximum limit. The CDA
Error is compared to crimp deviation analysis limit (CDA-L) for
determination of Pass or Fail. Curve Mismatch (CMM) – utilizes
Cumulative Deviation Analysis and analyzes the signature for shape
change that is characteristic of high insulation. The CMM is
normalized to a value relative to a maximum process variation limit
of 125.0. If the Curve Mismatch error exceeds 125.0 this will be
considered a crimp defect, and the appropriate output signal is
sent to the press or machine for control of the crimp defect. The
greater of CDA-E or CMM-E is displayed and the crimp error is
confirmed by color – RED = CDA-E, and ORANGE = CMM-E.

ForceView3 User Manual 21 Revision 1.0 August 2014
2.8 Step 5 – Advanced Settings The Advanced Settings are accessible
by a user with “Advanced analysis settings” privilege to ensure
controlled access only. This user then has access to the Signature
Advanced tab.
cda-L E Region % – is the % error factor or “weight” for each
region for calculation of total CDA Error. Compensation – is a
factor that will increase the low force sensitivity for optimizing
the detection of a missing strand condition, while not affecting
sensitivity for normal crimp process variation. E Priority Limit %
- Factory set to 115% E Priority Value – Factory set to 50% Curve
Mismatch – algorithm for detection of certain high insulation
defects can be enabled/disabled. CMM % Error – is the % error
factor or “weight” for each region for calculation of total CMM
Error. VR5 % – Advanced algorithm to improve detection of missing
strand errors. When the crimp curve is less than the learn curve
error from the falling edge of the curve is added to the VR3
region. The VR5 defines the location of this analysis zone. Note
that the setting defaults have been established and optimized
following extensive testing for a wide range of wire crimping
processes and under typical crimping processes should not require
any adjustment.

2.9 Step 6 - Part Manager Allows users to create/import and export
preconfigured Part number profiles to be used by the operator in
the future.
2.10 Step 7 – Machine Interface & Control
Following successful signature capture, signature analysis, and
achieving a repeatable crimp monitoring process (producing good
parts with minimum unnecessary scrap/good called bad), the 7th step
is to connect the CFM with the machine. An electrical interface is
determined following the electrical interface instructions from the
press or machine supplier.
Allows user with privileges to import/export Part numbers from one
wire processing machine to another.

3.3 Headroom
Headroom is a useful tool to determine the capability of the CPM to
detect missing strands for various terminal wire combinations. The
terminal hardness contributes to a lower headroom and reduced
capability to detect missing strands, compared to a softer terminal
crimping the equivalent wire. Another contributor to reduced
headroom is high compression of the conductor core. Headroom is a
calculation of the % difference of the peak force of a crimp with
and without conductor. An example calculation is as follows:
% = Peak force with 100% of the conductor in the conductor core
crimp
Peak force with 0% of the conductor in the conductor core crimp
100
A headroom > 30% can be effectively monitored using standard OES
configuration settings. For headroom < 30% the configuration
settings should be carefully reviewed and configured as required to
confirm crimp defect detection capability. Optimized configuration
settings can be assigned to a part number for recall of
configuration parameters specific to those low head room crimping
combinations.
To calculate the headroom of a process, start by learning the
process. Once in production create a crimp with no wire. Go to
Tools and select Headroom. The headroom is calculated by using the
last production curve and learned curve.
