PNEUMATIC CRIMPING TOOLS
Altech's pneumatic crimping tools speed the
crimping process of insulated or uninsulated
ferrules for a wide range of wire sizes up to
8 AWG. Compressed air with 60 to 90 psi
air pressure is required.
Crimp ferrules efficiently and economically.
A unique dual crimping head provides
convenient front or side wire entr y, allowing
crimping from multiple positions. This
features makes crimping in tight places
simple.
Choose either lever actuated, hand held
units or hands-free footswitch operated table
top models, in two basic tool sizes. Hand
held models feature a flexible coil air-hose
with 1/4" NPT interchange connector for
quick hook-up with a standard push-to-
connect coupler.
The table top units also include a flexible coil
air hose to the footswitch and a 1/4" NPT
interchange located on the footswitch for
one hand push-to-connect supply hook-up.
They feature a sturdy metal base with
integral table clamp and dual storage trays
for quick access to the ferrule supply. The air
release port on the footswitch has been
quieted with a sintered bronze air silencer.
The footswitch has a metal frame and a
tough fiberglass shroud. Its' spring return
pedal provides for short actuating cycles.
Altech pneumatic crimpers are simple and
easy to use. Just install the ferrule over the
end of the stripped wire and insert it into
either the front or side tool opening. Then
touch the actuating lever or push the
footswitch pedal to initiate the crimp cycle.
Once the head closes it will automatically
reopen after crimping. The resulting crimp
features a compact trapezoidal cross section
which is mechanically very strong and
provides a large surface to insure a highly
efficient electrical contact.
Optional items for the hand held crimper
include a counterbalance for maximum
control and a magnetic holder for storage.
