Systems and methods for determining a status of an action performed by a power tool. For example, the power tool includes a power tool housing, an accessory, and an electronic processor. The housing includes a recess and an input device. The accessory is configured to be received by the recess. The accessory includes an identifier. The electronic processor is connected to the input device. The electronic processor is configured to receive a first signal from the identifier, determine an accessory type based on the first signal, receive a second signal from the input device, initiate an action based on the second signal, determine an outer diameter of the workpiece, calculate a force applied by the power tool, determine a distance traveled by the accessory during the action, and determine a status of the action based on the force applied to the workpiece and the distance.

A crimping tool, configured to crimp an electrical connector onto a conductor, includes a crimping body having an interior volume, a crimping head connected to the crimping body, a user interface installed on the crimping body, an identification tag reader provided in the crimping tool, a wireless module installed within the interior volume of the crimping body, and a microcontroller installed within the interior volume of the crimping body. The wireless module transmits/receives crimp connection data to/from a remote computing device, which is capable of communicating with one or more databases in a server. The microcontroller is configured to communicate with the identification tag reader and the wireless module.

An electric tool (1) includes piston (36) reciprocably housed in cylinder (34) provided in main body portion (10) and be pushed by a pressure of fluid; tool head (14) coupled to a distal end of the main body portion and performing a predetermined operation by being pushed by the piston; return channel (40) communicating from the cylinder to a fluid tank to allow the fluid to flow therethrough; pressure regulating valve (44) disposed in operational flow channel (42) branching from the return channel and taking an open position when the pressure of the fluid in the return channel becomes equal to or higher than a predetermined value; operating pin (46) disposed in the operational flow channel and pushed by the pressure of the fluid flowing therein; and return valve (48) disposed in the return channel and taking an open position by being pushed by the operating pin.

Tools for crimping or cutting of an object such as a wire, cable, or connector. The tool includes a first member and a second member configured to come together through a gap to crimp or cut a wire, cable or connector and a laser positioned to visually indicate a region where at least one member traverses as the first and second member come together through the gap. This visual indication aids in alignment of the object for the crimping or cutting operation.

Portable work equipment (30) comprises a portable tool (1) and a portable electronic device (32) with global positioning means (34), in which the portable tool transmits to the electronic device (32) in real time and in wireless manner identification data of the portable tool (1) and data representative of a set of parameters of a work cycle, in which the electronic device (32) generates traceability data-sets by associating to each set of parameters of the work cycle a unique identification code for the portable tool (1), the global positioning coordinates of the portable electronic device (32) and the time of receipt of the set of parameters of the work cycle, and transmits these traceability data-sets to a central database (36) which is remotely accessible provided that the distance between the portable tool (1) and the electronic device (32) is less than a predetermined maximum allowed distance.

A hydrodynamic compression tool comprises a motor which actuates a hydrodynamic group suitable to increase the pressure of a hydraulic fluid acting on an actuation piston connected to jaws, an electronic control system connected to the electric motor and to a user operating member for the actuation of the electric motor. An identification detector in connection with the control circuit detects an identification characteristic of the jaws or inserts housed in the jaws or of an object to be compressed or cut.

Light weight hydraulic cutting and crimping tools built with advanced composite materials, engineering plastics and additive manufacturing, replace current steel and aluminum components and traditional subtractive manufacturing.

A hydrodynamic compression tool (1) comprises a motor (6) which actuates a hydrodynamic group (11) suitable to increase the pressure of a hydraulic fluid acting on an actuation piston (12) connected to jaws (13, 14), an electronic control system (9) connected to the electric motor (6) and to a user operating member (7) for the actuation of the electric motor (6) wherein the control system (9) monitors the reaching of a closed position of the jaws (13, 14) and switches off the motor (6) automatically upon reaching the closed position.

A hydrodynamic compression or cutting tool comprises a housing, an electric motor arranged in the housing and having a motor rotational axis, a gripping portion formed by the housing and extending around the motor and along the motor rotational axis, a hydraulic pump arranged inside the housing and which can be driven by the motor so as to move a actuating piston along a actuating axis, a transmission mechanism arranged inside the housing between the motor and the hydraulic pump, two jaws connected to the housing and to the actuating piston, and which can be moved between an open position and a closed position for carrying out the compression or cut, wherein the actuating axis and the motor rotational axis are reciprocally parallel and offset.

A crimp tool includes a frame, a lead screw and a nut assembly connected to the lead screw. A spring member is connected to the frame and movable with rotation of the lead screw. A first transducer is connected to the nut assembly to measure a first force applied on the nut assembly. A second transducer is connected to the spring member to measure a second force applied thereon by the spring member.
