Description
The oeTIKeR ePC 01 is an electro-pneumatic system for closure of clamps and low-profile clamps. The compo-
nents of the system are connected to each other via compressed air hoses (3, 5).
The compressor / compressed air supply (12) generates compressed air which flows to the service unit (9). To
protect the entire system from overpressure, the service unit (9) reduces the air pressure to the defined range of
pressure. The compressed air is stored in the compressed air reservoir (8). The compressed air filter (7) cleans the
compressed air. In the event of impermissible pressure, the safety shut-off valve (6) closes and shuts off the com-
pressed air supply line (5) to the Control Unit (4).
The Control Unit (4) controls and monitors the crimping operations using defined control parameters and closure
data. The data of the Control Unit are stored in the PC software of the PC (10). The hybrid hose (3) supplies the
pincer (2) with compressed air and power.
The pincer (2) is the tool used by the operator to close the clamps and low-profile clamps. The pincer is held
in the pincer holder (1).
The Cal 01 (11) is used to calibrate the pincer during the pincer test.
