Hydraulic crimp tools, working heads for hydraulic crimp tools and die sets for crimping wire connectors onto electrical conductor wires using such hydraulic crimp tools are provided. The die sets include identical dies that can be repositioned on the working head to mechanically secure wire connectors to an electrical conductor wire or a bundle of electrical conductor wires from different orientations.

An end-form fitting includes a tube and an auxiliary component disposed around the tube. One of the tube and the auxiliary component is deformed to cause the auxiliary component to engage the tube in order to militate against relative movement between the tube and the auxiliary component. The auxiliary component includes an array of surface irregularities formed therein and configured to engage an outer circumferential surface of the tube to form a corrugated joint therebetween. The auxiliary component is formed to include a radially outwardly extending orientation structure for establishing a rotational orientation of the end-form fitting when being coupled to a complimentary end-form fitting.

Techniques for implementing and/or operating a system that includes a pipe fitting and a swage machine. The swage machine includes a grab plate having a grab tab that matingly interlocks with a grab notch on the pipe fitting to facilitate securing the swage machine to the pipe fitting and a die plate having a die seat that enables a set of die segments to be used to conformally deform the pipe fitting around the tubing of the pipe segment to be loaded in the swage machine. The die plate and the grab plate include a base plate section, a hinge plate secured to the base plate section via a hinge fastener such that the hinge plate directly abuts the base plate section, and a pivotable plate section secured to the hinge plate via a hinge fastener such that the hinge plate directly abuts the pivotable plate section.

A pressing tool includes a motor, a sensor, and a microcontroller coupled to the motor and the sensor. The microcontroller is configured to cause the motor to operate in a first direction, and obtain a motor parameter from the sensor. The microcontroller is further configured to determine an occurrence of a fault condition of the motor when the motor parameter satisfies a threshold. In response to determining the fault condition, the microcontroller is further configured to cause the motor to change from operation in the first direction to operate in a second direction, pause operation of the motor in the second direction, and resume operation of the motor in the first direction.

The disclosure relates to a hydraulic sealing body comprising a radially inner surface defining a through-cavity and an annular element projecting in a radially inner direction from said radially inner surface, the annular element comprising a first annular abutment surface configured to receive in contact relationship a head portion of a coupling terminal and a second annular abutment surface, axially opposite to the first, configured to receive in contact relationship an axial end of a hydraulic hose.

The invention relates to a method for positioning measurement points (15, 18) with respect to a feature (8) locationally fixed on an object (5), wherein the object (5) is moved along an adjustment track. A first and a second optical detection region (10, 11) are formed, by means of which the current actual position of the feature (8) is detected. The two detection regions (10, 11) are arranged overlapping each other thus forming an overlapping section (13). The measurement points (15, 18) are each arranged at a predefined fixed distance (16, 19) from the feature (8). If the feature (8) is within the first detection region (10), the measurement occurs at the first positioned measurement point (15). If the feature (8) is within the overlapping section (13), the first measurement point (15) is deactivated and the second measurement point (18) is activated and the measurement is performed.

A hydraulic sealing body including a radially inner surface defining a through-cavity and an annular element projecting in a radially inner direction from said radially inner surface is disclosed herein. The annular element includes a first annular abutment surface configured to receive in contact relationship a head portion of a coupling terminal, and a second annular abutment surface, axially opposite to the first, configured to receive in contact relationship an axial end of a hydraulic hose.

The invention relates to a fitting for producing a metallic connection with a metal pipe, with a base body made of metal, with at least one supporting body made of metal and formed in one piece with the base body for insertion into a pipe end and with at least one pressing sleeve made of metal and connected to the base body for receiving the pipe end, the supporting body and the pressing sleeve being designed for radial pressing. The technical problem of improving the reliability and mechanical load-bearing capacity of the metallic connection to be made between a metal pipe and the fitting is solved by the supporting body having a first sealing section arranged at the distal end with at least one radially encircling sealing tooth has a holding region adjoining the first sealing section in the axial direction, holding teeth which are distributed around the circumference and extend axially, and a second sealing section adjoining the holding region in the axial direction and having at least one radially extending sealing tooth.

The invention relates to a fitting to be connected to at least one pipe, in particular a plastic pipe or plastic-metal composite pipe, having a main body, having at least one supporting body connected to the main body for insertion into a pipe end and having at least one pressing sleeve connected to the main body for receiving the pipe end, the pressing sleeve having a cylindrical pressing section. The technical problem of improving the fitting for pressing, in particular with small motor-driven or manually driven pressing tools, is solved by the fact that the pressing sleeve is made of a metal with a microhardness of less than 65 HV 1, in particular less than 50 HV 1, preferably in the range from 40 to 50 HV 1 measured according to Vickers, and that the ratio of wall thickness of the pressing section to the outer diameter of the pressing section is less than 0.06, preferably in the range from 0.03 to 0.06. The invention also relates to a method for establishing a connection.

Techniques for implementing and/or operating a system that includes a pipe fitting and a swage machine. The swage machine includes a grab plate having a grab tab that matingly interlocks with a grab notch on the pipe fitting to facilitate securing the swage machine to the pipe fitting and a die plate having a die seat that enables a set of die segments to be used to conformally deform the pipe fitting around the tubing of the pipe segment to be loaded in the swage machine. The die plate and the grab plate include a base plate section, a hinge plate secured to the base plate section via a hinge fastener such that the hinge plate directly abuts the base plate section, and a pivotable plate section secured to the hinge plate via a hinge fastener such that the hinge plate directly abuts the pivotable plate section.
