picture 1
Leather belt
Locking pin Dies
Crimping head
Coupling
Pos.-No. 4
Pos.-No. 5
Pos.-No. 1 Pos.-No. 2
Pos.-No. 3
4.2 Description of the crimping procedure
A crimping process is characterised by the closing motion of the dies (Pos.-No. 1). The
cable lug or connector will be positioned in the stationary half of the crimping die. The
piston will push the moving part of the die towards the compression point.
The crimping process is complete when the dies contact each other and the maximum
operating pressure of the pump is reached.
More information about the assembly of the connecting material can be taken from the
assembly instructions in our catalogue.
5. Remarks with respect to the determined use
The pump must be positioned on an even surface with a max. angle of 15°.
In combination with a 2 m high-pressure hose it is not possible to work in a cable trench.
For this application at least a 3m high-pressure hose is needed.
5.1. Operation of the unit
1.) First you have to select the right dies (Pos.-No 1) for the intended application. Then
connect the crimping head (Pos.-No. 2) via the coupling (Pos.-No. 3) to the high
pressure hose and roll out the hose completely.
2.) Disengage the locking pin (Pos.-No. 5), insert the dies and push the locking pin
completely back into place. Bring the crimping head into position.
3.) Actuate the pump until the dies are completely closed.
After the crimping process has been completed and the piston must be retracted to remove
the connecting material from the crimping head.
