Crimping Solution for Railway Applications
The document discusses a new crimping solution for railway applications compliant with the IEC 61238-1-3 standard. This solution addresses the evolution of cables and international requirements, offering superior characteristics compared to traditional hexagonal crimping, particularly for flexible cables.

Key Features of the New Crimping Technology

Eliminates issues associated with flexible cables.
Less sensitive to variations in cable cross-sections from different manufacturers.
Offers optimum reliability by conforming to stringent market standards.

Challenges with Flexible Cables

Flexible cables have larger diameter strands, requiring larger drums and resulting in lower filling rates.
Hexagonal crimping shows limitations with sharp edges and lower cross-sectional reduction rates.

B-Crimp Technology
B-crimping, used in the automotive industry, is optimized for flexible cables, offering high compaction rates and improved electrical performance. It ensures uniform strand compression and tensile performance that is not sensitive to cable cross-section.

Testing and Standards

The IEC 61238-1-3 standard includes 1000 ageing cycles, statistical criteria on specimen dispersion, and short circuit tests.
Mechanical testing includes tensile strength checks and non-destructive testing.

Compatibility and Tools
The document lists compatible dies and crimping tools for various lug references, ranging from 10 to 300 mm².
