Crimping tools are used for crimping. This is a process in which two parts are joined by means of plastic deformation, for example by folding, crimping, curling or squeezing. The resulting connection can only conditionally and with a suitable Toolbe solved, repaired and renewed. Very often, crimping is used in the field of electrical engineering. The Crimping Tool is used to create difficult to detach and even connections between the ladderand connecting element used. It guarantees high mechanical and electrical safety. This connection is also an alternative compared to conventional connections, such as welding and soldering. Crimp connections are mainly found in large series productions, so that individual strands are mounted in the chord.

Further details on crimping with crimping pliers

In the connection element is usually a plug and that where a laying of a cable with the plug is difficult. In this context, the cable is laid separately, to be subsequently fixed by crimping with an electrical contact part at the end of the cable. Crimping pliers are used to connect the wires of the plug and cable. In the industry usually Kabelkonfetionierungsautomaten or stop presses are used because high productivity is important.

Which application possibilities does the crimping tool additionally allow?

Crimping pliers, which are suitable for universal use, are already helpful before crimping, for example when cutting or insulating wires and cables. With the appropriate openings, damage to the strands is prevented. Crimping tools made of high-strength special steel are able to cut screws and set screws precisely and protect the thread. The term crimping means as much as squeezing. This is exactly what happens with cable lugs and connectors, because a crimping tool precisely meters the force during this process. It is strong enough to give connectors and lugs sufficient grip on the cable to prevent sparking due to shaky connections. On the other hand, cable lugs and connectors must not be crushed and rendered inoperative. A high-quality crimping tool performs all these tasks optimally, not only on open and isolated connectors, but also on insulated cable lugs. High-quality crimping tools are available, for example, from Knipex. The wide assortment of various special and universal pliers for crimping, stripping and cutting offers the right solution for every requirement. The pliers are made with the help of modern machines made of high quality materials such as special steel, so they are ideal for any challenge. The crimping pliers allow a high benefit as well as a comfortable and safe application in the daily work routine. They are constantly being developed according to the latest findings and are the result of many years of experience in the field of toolmaking. The use of the crimping pliers is straightforward, since colored markings are attached to the pliers head for assistance.
