Crimpers, Applicators, Presses - Accessories

The 815922-1 application field and working principle encompass a specialized set of systems that are designed to be used across a variety of industrial and commercial applications.

Overview

A crimper/applicator and press is a device that is employed for setting of crimped connectors or applier clips on wires. It is available in several shapes and sizes, depending on the purpose intended. In the basic form, a set of jaws with the taper is designed to press fittings into place. This is usually accompanied by an anvil to support the other end of the fitting. It is then pushed up against the taper with great force resulting in an electromagnetic current (if electrically insulated) or in a physical connection (if not) between the two.

Different Types

Some of the different types of crimper/applicator and presses available include hydraulic presses, manual presses, pneumatic presses, and simply triggered presses. Each of these offer different advantages and disadvantages, depending on their intended application. Hydraulic presses are generally easier to use but can be heavy and require more maintenance. Manual presses are more affordable but require more operator skill to properly apply the crimp or clip. Pneumatic presses offer great speed and force and are generally quieter than the other types available but require consistent air pressure. Triggered presses are the most widely available and have the advantage of being easy to use and offer a very nice finish.

Operation

In order to operate a crimper/applicator and press properly, an operator needs to ensure a couple of key points. Firstly, it is important to make sure the jaws are close together correctly. The jaws should form an ideal \'V\' shape in order to get the optimum clamping force. Secondly, the appropriate amount of pressure needs to be applied and the levers should be straightened out after each press so as to ensure consistent operation. Once the pressing has been completed, the operator needs to check the connection for both proper crimping and electrical insulation.

Safety

It is important to consider the safety aspects when using a crimper/applicator and press. The Operator must ensure that the jaws and teeth are aligned correctly and that no one is in the work area while the press is running. Care should also be taken to avoid over-tightening or applying too much pressure as this can cause the teeth to break or the terminals to be damaged. It is also important to note that electrical shock can occur when crimping insulated fittings and appropriate precautions should be taken to ensure operator safety.

Conclusion

The 815922-1 application field and working principle offer a versatile and reliable solution to the task of setting crimped connections or applier clips on wires. Different types of presses are available, depending on the intended application, and the operation and safety aspects must also be taken into consideration when using a crimper/applicator and press. When operated correctly and with appropriate precautions, this system can be an invaluable resource in many industrial and commercial applications.
