680066-2

Crimpers, Applicators and Presses are a class of machines used to attach components, fasteners, and other pieces of material through the use of pressure. 6866-2 is an example of such a tool, and while it may look relatively simple, it has a wide range of uses and a complex working principle.

Applications

6866-2 is used to attach components in a variety of industries, from automotive and electronics manufacturing to aircraft production and even medical device construction. In automotive production, 6866-2 is commonly used to join small components to wire harnesses, such as fuel injectors, pressure switches, and ignition coils. In electronics manufacturing, it can be used to attach IC chips to circuit boards, solder jumpers, or crimp terminals onto wires. In aircraft production, 6866-2 can be used to attach fittings to controlling systems or to secure fasteners to hydraulic systems, while in medical device manufacturing, it is used to clamp collars to syringes.

Working Principle

The 6866-2 utilizes a two-part working principle. The first part is the crimping cycle, which is a squeezing action that applies pressure to the material, which causes it to deform into the desired shape. The second part is the clamping cycle, which is a releasing action that allows the material to retain its shape. Together, these two actions create the crimping and clamping cycle of 6866-2.

The two-part cycle is controlled by a hydraulic system. Compressed air is sent into a chamber which is connected to a large piston. When the air is released, the piston is forced downwards, pushing the crimping arm. This pushes the workpiece into the wall of the crimp die, which allows for the crimping of two pieces of material simultaneously. When the air is released, the piston slowly retracts and the workpiece is released. At the same time, the arm retracts and the material is allowed to retain its shape.

Conclusion

The 6866-2 is a versatile and reliable tool that is used in many industrial applications. Its two-part working principle, composed of a crimping and a clamping cycle, is powered by a hydraulic system that is activated by compressed air. This allows for quick, precise, and accurate crimping of parts and fasteners.
