1: 3 01 Hand tools for pre-insulated terminals Mechanical tools In the development of a mechanical crimping tool at Elpress, we strive for the best quality and ergonomics in the actual tool, and the best characteristics in the crimped terminal. The tools have a built-in locking system (not the hobby tools) that ensures that the entire crimping process is completed - a prerequisite for professional and quality-assured work. Elpress Mobile, professional tool with interchangeable dies for the installer or service technician. Miniforce-tools With the unique Miniforce tools, a new level has been established regarding ergonomic adaptation to the user and low force requirements. This has resulted in a decrease in the grip forces by up to 45% and is the result of an advanced development process where minimisation of the risks of work-related injuries and the best ergonomics have been the deciding factors. Miniforce type C has longer handles to facilitate two-handed operation, which is often a simple and natural way to reduce the loads. Electrical crimping tools and terminals together constitute a contact crimping system where crimping results are continuously checked against the requirements of established standards such as IEC 60352-2, SEN 245010, DIN 46429, IEC 61238-1 etc. Many of the manual tools have symmetrical crimp positions that make it possible to work from both sides - something that is important for left-handed users. The tools in the Miniforce, D and 50 series are made of very high-grade hardened steel with a black oxide finish and are laser marked. Certification of crimping tools For quality assurance of our tools, we certify the manufacture of our crimping tools, both hand tools, type Gxx, i.e. Miniforce tools, and type Dxx. What do we certify? Certification of the crimping tools means that each individual tool is documented at the final assembly and inspection stage with respect to: • handle pre-load, which is the force needed to ensure that the lock, which prevents a crimp from being interrupted, is not released too early. • crimp die nest heights, i.e. the maximum height measurements which can be measured in each indentation with the dies pressed together. Why certification? The certificate that accompanies the tool serves several functions: • crimping tools are often directly introduced upon procurement in a quality management system. The tool’s status at procurement shall of course be the first thing noted, to then be followed by regular checks where potential changes can be discovered and addressed. • the certificate shows that each individual tool meets the requirements of the tool’s basic specifications. • the certificate states what the most important characteristics are that shall be followed up. Elpress’ service department offers the possibility of continued follow-up of the quality of the tools. Certificate that accompanies the tool. Elpress ergonomic Miniforce tool. Get your certificate.
