A crimping apparatus and method for crimping electrical connectors to cables. The apparatus can automatically sense the size of a connector and can automatically determine a minimum acceptable distance of work travel in relation to the size of a connector. The apparatus can crimp articles and control the movement of an indentor by use of a computer. The apparatus can sense predetermined crimping information and at least partially record crimping information. The apparatus can determine the occurrence of a bad crimp. The apparatus can monitor predetermine characteristics of the crimper. the apparatus can sense free travel movement of an indentor and determine appropriate work travel movement of the indentor relative to sensed free travel movement. The apparatus can sense free travel movement of an indentor and compare sensed free travel movement to a stored memory of potential free travel movements and connector sizes. The apparatus can have a computer controller for, at least partially controlling a hydraulic drive system. The apparatus can have a diagnostic monitor for use in evaluating both past and present operation of the system. A apparatus of is disclosed for determining indentor work travel movement of crimping apparatus and a method of controlling a system for hydraulically crimping electrical connectors is also disclosed.
