Title: Innovations by Georg Kampfmann
Introduction
Georg Kampfmann is a notable inventor based in Darmstadt-Eberstadt, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the field of engineering with a total of three patents to his name. His work primarily focuses on innovative machinery and apparatus that enhance efficiency and precision in various applications.
Latest Patents
One of Kampfmann's latest patents is a crimping press capable of crimping terminals onto a range of wire sizes. This crimping press comprises an anvil and a die that is movable towards and away from the anvil. The anvil is moved by a rotating shaft with a crank-type coupling to the die. The shaft allows limited movement in the direction of the die's movement towards the anvil. It is supported against such movement by a yieldable shaft support, which is calibrated to resiliently yield upon the development of a predetermined reaction force in the die during the final stages of crimping. When crimping a terminal onto a smaller diameter wire, the shaft remains stationary or moves slightly if the predetermined force is reached. Conversely, when crimping onto a larger diameter wire, the predetermined reaction force is developed before the die reaches its travel limit towards the anvil, allowing the shaft to move away to accommodate the remaining movement of the crank pin.
Another significant patent is the contact positioning apparatus. This apparatus comprises a plurality of contact holding portions designed to receive a series of contacts at a first pitch and deliver them to a second, different pitch. The holding portions are arranged in spaced parallel coplanar relation and are supported from a carriage on respective cranks that are individually rotatable by pinions. The arms of the cranks are of progressively increased length, and elements provide for bringing the pinions into engagement with a common rack, which is traversable to rotate the cranks and adjust the contact holding portions to the desired pitch. The carriage is suitably supported on an XYZ positioning mechanism to facilitate the movement of contacts between receiving and discharge stations.
