Crimpers

Crimpers are used to fasten metal components or wires in a controlled manner. Crimpers are primarily used in electrical connections to ensure a secure connection and to prevent damage to the conductor. They are typically designed to compress the metal into shape and securely grip the connector. The design of the crimp depends on the type of connection being made and the particular application. Some crimpers may be manually operated or they may be pneumatically or electronically operated. The most common type of crimpers are manual ratcheting, press-fit and tang-style crimpers. Each are designed for specific applications and require specialized tooling.

Applicators

Applicators are used to affix different types of materials or products onto a substrate. The applicator can be used to apply adhesive, sealant, film, foils, fabrics, tape and other types of materials. Depending on the operation, typical applicator functions include applying a product, dispense a product, heat seal a product, move a product, clean a product and pick-and-place a product. Many modern applicators are designed to perform a variety of processes and are usually integrated into automated system.

Presses

Presses are used to mechanically process and fabricate materials. They are usually used to press two materials together in a controlled manner. There are several types of presses available, including pneumatic presses, mechanical presses and hydraulic presses. Each type has its advantages and can be used for a variety of applications from punching, forming and blanking to embossing, riveting and bonding. Presses are commonly used in manufacturing, woodworking, automotive and plastics processing industries. The press is often integrated into an automated system, either as a standalone unit or as part of a larger production line.
