[0002] Automatic crimping modules are an important part of modern manufacturing processes, especially in automated production lines. Automatic crimping modules usually include core components such as crimping head modules and crimping mechanisms, which can accurately crimp materials to ensure product quality and stability. For example, some crimping die assemblies also include multiple parts such as connecting blocks, control blocks, rotating wheels, crimping cores and fixed wheels. Precise crimping actions are achieved through complex mechanical structures. For example, they are used in the production and manufacture of electronic products, use, and connection of electronic parts to crimp the pins on electronic devices onto the terminals.

A Y-axis base 14 is slidably sleeved on the X-axis line rail 13. One end of the X-axis lead screw 12 away from the X-axis motor 11 is threadedly inserted into the Y-axis base 14. The Y-axis assembly 4 includes a Y-axis motor 15. The Y-axis motor 15 is installed on one side of the Y-axis base 14.

[0017] During specific implementation, the X-axis motor 11 is turned on to rotate the X-axis screw 12, so that the Y-axis base 14 drives the Y-axis motor 15 and the crimping head 10 and the camera 20 to slide on the X-axis line rail 13. At the same time, the Y-axis motor 15 is turned on to rotate the Y-axis screw 16, so that the Z-axis base 18 drives the camera 20 to slide on the Y-axis line rail 17.

Since the electric box belongs to the prior art, it will not be described in detail in this specification.

[0021] Working principle: When in use, place the product 9 on the top of the placement table 8, then turn on the X-axis motor 11, so that the X-axis screw 12 rotates, so that the Y-axis base 14 drives the Y-axis motor 15 and the crimping head 10 and the camera 20 to slide on the X-axis line rail 13, and at the same time, turn on the Y-axis motor 15, so that the Y-axis screw 16 rotates, so that the Z-axis base 18 drives the camera 20 to slide on the Y-axis line rail 17.
