A cable cutter and crimper is provided comprising an anvil having an anvil cutting edge. A blade is pivotally coupled to the anvil and includes a blade cutting edge. A clevis is coupled to the anvil and includes arms extending on opposite sides of an actuator screw. A pivot nut is threadably coupled to the actuator screw and pivotally coupled to the blade. Rotation of the actuator screw in a first rotational direction causes the pivot nut to translate along the actuator screw in a first translation direction, resulting in the blade cutting edge moving away from the anvil cutting edge. Rotation of the actuator screw in a second rotational direction causes the pivot nut to translate along the actuator screw in a second translation direction, resulting in the blade pivoting relative to the anvil to move the blade cutting edge toward the anvil cutting edge.

Method for monitoring a crimping process including arranging an end fitting or coupling in an intended position between a first and second crimping jaw and initiating the crimping process, continuously detecting the position of the first and second jaw in relation to the other and the applied pressure and store the detected information in a control unit; comparing the detected information regarding position and applied pressure against predetermined characteristics determined for a crimping process with the desired quality; and if the detected information differs from the predetermined characteristics determined for a crimping process with the desired quality more than a predetermined value send alert to indicate that the crimping process not has the desired quality.

A cutting fixture for incising a tap portion installed between a pair power cables. A fixture body is mounted atop a power press tool in contact with a linearly advancing ram of the tool. The fixture body terminates in a downwardly facing support surface. A pair of levers are pivotally mounted to the fixture body, each including a bottom end profile and a roller at an upper end which, in response to upward displacement of the ram, multi-directionally advances to displace against an underside of a linearly movable carriage supported upon the fixture body in proximity to the levers. A cutting blade is supported upon the carriage and, in response to elevation of the carriage, displaces upwardly in a force multiplying fashion to section the H-tap positioned between the carriage and the downwardly facing support surface in order to permit its removal while preserving the integrity of the cables.

A power pin alignment and crimping fixture having a fixture body. The fixture body includes a plurality of channels each having a first open end and a second open end. The plurality of channels are disposed at an angle diverging away from one another in a direction from the first open end to the second open end such that each of the plurality of channels are disposed along a corresponding side edge of a symmetrical shape.

A wire stripping die is configured to be coupled to a crimping tool. The stripping die includes a die body, a first ridge, and a second ridge. The die body includes a first side, a second side, and a groove extending at least partially between the first side and the second side. The groove extends along an axis. The first ridge protrudes from a surface of the groove toward the axis by a first distance. The first ridge extends along at least a portion of the perimeter of the groove and extends at least partially around the axis. The second ridge protrudes from the surface of the groove toward the axis, and the second ridge extends parallel to the axis along at least a portion of the groove.

A crimping hand tool used for crimping a cable and a housing together is provided. The crimping hand tool includes a first body, a second body pivoted to the first body, a linking member pivoted to the second body, a crimping assembly pivoted to the linking member and slidably coupled to at least a portion of a guiding structure of the first body, and a stripping assembly slidably disposed in the first body. The first and the second bodies are pivoted to be opened or closed relatively so as to drive the linking member and push the crimping assembly forward to crimp the cable and the housing together. The stripping assembly is suited for being forced to cut and peel off an insulated layer from conducting lines of the cable.

The invention relates to a crimping pliers network (39) which comprises pressing pliers (2), an electronic control unit (31) (in particular a smartphone or a tablet) as well as a data storage device (37) (in particular a cloud storage (38)). According to the invention, a die (3, 4) of the pressing pliers (2) comprises an identifier (18, 19) which can be captured by a capturing device (21) of the pressing pliers. Data (48) from the data storage device (37) and being specific for the captured identifier (18, 19) is provided to the control unit (31). The data might be a desired pressing force curve (49), a desired pressing displacement curve (50) and/or information concerning a workpiece for which the dies (3, 4) are designated. In this way, it is possible to increase the process safety when using the crimping pliers (2). Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for pressing a workpiece.

A hand crimp tool includes a handle having upper and lower handles having upper and lower handgrips hand squeezed to close the hand crimp tool. The hand crimp tool includes a head having upper and lower jaws defining a crimp zone therebetween. The lower jaw includes an anvil holding a terminal and the upper jaw includes a crimper crimping the terminal. The hand crimp tool includes a wire inserter coupled to the head having a carriage movable between an advanced position and a retracted position. The wire inserter has a wire clamp holding a wire in the carriage and the wire inserter moves the wire relative to the head to position and hold the wire in the terminal during crimping of the terminal between the anvil and the crimper.

A device for soldering an electrical conductor with a connection device includes a base plate having a passageway and an anvil mounted on the base plate and at least partially housed in the passageway. The anvil is electrically insulated from the base plate and positioned to allow an electrical current to pass through the electrical conductor and/or the connection device.

An in-line portable, handheld hydraulic scissor-type action crimping tool having a handle assembly and a working head assembly is provided. The handle assembly has a tool frame portion and a neck portion. The working head assembly has a pair of jaw members joined so that they are movable relative to each other and held in place by a locking pin. One jaw member has a nest secured to or directly formed into the jaw member. The other jaw member has an indentor secured to or directly formed into the jaw member.
