461296-3

Crimpers, Applicators, Presses - Accessories

The 461296-3 is an accessory used in a variety of crimper, applicator, and press applications. It is designed to improve the efficiency and ease of use of the primary device while offering unique benefits.

Application Field

The 461296-3 is primarily used for crimping applications. In this usage, it acts as a connector on the wire being crimped, permitting the wire to quickly and securely connect to the other components. Additionally, in some line joining processes, it can be used with a heat sealer to permanently seal two pieces of plastic-coated material without the use of adhesives.

Other possible uses include with wire stripping machines to quickly remove the insulation from cables, as well as with radials for crimping a range of fasteners. The 461296-3 can also be used with presses to apply force to a variety of materials.

Working Principle

The 461296-3 functions similarly across all applications. It is designed to help the primary device with the process of engineering precise & uniform crimps. This accessory features the patented Ring Lock system, providing an easy and secure connection for the wire being crimped.

On crimping machines, the 461296-3 helps to evenly tension the wire strands for a better fit. With an insulated wire it also ensures that all of the insulation is removed to make a better connection. This is done by having its upper tool assembly compress the insulation before the wire is cut off.

Likewise, on stripper machines the 461296-3 helps to ensure that all of the insulation is precisely removed, without gouging the wire. It also helps to evenly strip the insulation so that more of it can often be preserved and reused.

On a press application, the 461296-3 is used to help force a crimping action on the material being clamped. The accessory is placed on the top of the material and, when the press is activated, it crimps the material in one smooth motion.

Conclusion

The 461296-3 is a versatile accessory that can be used in a variety of crimper, applicator, and press applications. It helps to improve the efficiency and ease of use of the primary device by providing a secure connection for the wire being crimped and by helping to uniformly tension the strands. Additionally, it can be used to strip insulation and to apply a crimping action on materials.
