Abstract
A method for monitoring the state of pressing elements of a crimping device of a crimping apparatus includes: setting of a crimping height; measuring of a travel from a rest position to a working position of the pressing elements, which working position corresponds to the set crimping height; comparing of the travel with a travel from the rest position to a working position of the pressing elements of a setting operation of a crimping height, which setting operation was carried out before the setting operation of the crimping height; recording of data, wherein the recorded data comprises at least one result of the comparison; testing of the comparison for the presence of a predefined criterion; and outputting of a signal if the predefined criterion is satisfied.
