Crimpers, Applicators and Presses

The 47-10320 application field and working principle covers the mechanics of crimpers, applicators, and presses. The three tools are staples of any payload production environment, and understanding their applications and processes brings increased efficiency and better quality to production.

Crimpers

Crimpers are tools – similar to pliers in shape – meant to be used to press two objects together and keep them securely in a united state. The applied pressure creates a durable bond between the two objects, generally through such techniques as squeezing, bending, or deforming a material to create a frictional connection. The 47-10320 application field and working principle outlining crimpers states they are used in crimping various kinds of connectors for electrical systems, such as wire ferrules and network jacks, as well as joining cables, wires, and other objects together. Crimpers can also be used in the assembly of gas or air lines.

Applicators

Applicators are similar to crimpers in that they are also pressing two objects together. The main difference is that crimpers are generally used for mechanical bonds while applicators are used for physical bonding. The 47-10320 application field and working principle for applicators states they are used to apply liquids, sealants, and adhesives in assembly operations. They are primarily used in the production of automotive components such as radiators, hoses, brakes, and A/C lines.

Presses

Presses are machines used to press two pieces of material together to create a physical bond. The 47-10320 application field and working principle states that presses are often used in joining metal or plastic parts together with a wide variety of screw, tapping, and riveting operations. Presses come in many forms, including mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and electric, each requiring a different process and energy system. Presses can also be used for stamping, forming, and punching.

Overall, the 47-10320 application field and working principle provides useful guidelines for understanding the appropriate use of crimpers, applicators, and presses in manufacturing environments. By having a clear understanding of the tools, their processes, and their applications, you can streamline production and ensure better quality of output.
