Crimpers, Applicators, Presses

Crimpers, applicators, and presses are well-documented and widely used tools in many production and assembly applications. They are all tools that can be used to manipulate, cut, or join various materials including metals, plastic, or wire in various configurations and require a certain amount of skill to operate.

A crimp is a connection made when two materials are pressed together with a mechanical device that presses the two components together. Crimpers are typically used to join copper wires together, to attach connectors, and to couple other materials. A crimp is generally considered to be a permanent connection, though a crimp can be reversed if done improperly. In order to achieve a proper crimp connection, the proper tool must be used - typically a crimp tool, though it could be a pair of pliers, for instance.

An applicator is a tool that applies materials to a particular surface or surface area. This could include applying sealants, lacquers, or paints, or even adhesives. For instance, in electronics assembly, applicators are often used to apply conductive materials such as solder. They are usually hand-held and common applicators include pens, syringes, and brushes.

Presses are machines used for compressing, pushing, or pressing materials together. This could include die sets, which are tools used to punch, cut, and form materials. This type of press is typically used in metalworking applications, such as in the production of nuts and bolts. Other presses, such as hydraulic presses and arbor presses, are used to cut or form wire and other materials.
