A slip coupling tool having an interior surface sized for receiving a pipe. The coupling tool includes a semi-annular collar sized to engage an exterior surface of the pipe. The collar extends to a rearward end face sized and shaped for aligning with an end of the slip coupling when the collar receives the pipe and the inner surface of the collar engages an exterior surface of the pipe. The slip coupling tool includes a striking plate extending outward from the collar. The striking plate has an impact surface spaced from the collar for impacting the coupling tool to drive the slip coupling into position along the pipe. The slip coupling tool includes a handle extending outward from the collar for manipulating the tool into position while impacting the impact surface of the striking plate to drive the slip coupling into position along the pipe.

A hollow-cylindrical preloading cartridge of an installation tool of a wire thread insert has a mandrel channel extending within the preloading cartridge, in which an assembly mandrel with an installation end and a drive end is guided in an inner mandrel guiding thread. The cartridge has an outer wall which encompasses the mandrel channel at least partly with a radial positioning window adjacent to a first axial end of the preloading cartridge facing away from the drive end of the assembly mandrel, through which a wire thread insert is positionable on the assembly mandrel. At least one first tactile detection unit projects beyond a ring-like front side of the cartridge on the first axial end and is offsetable parallel to a longitudinal axis of the cartridge, wherein an axial offset of the at least one tactile detection unit can be detected with a first detection sensor of the cartridge.

A crimping tool used for crimping terminals and wires includes a driving mechanism, a crimping mechanism and a plurality of adjustable elements. The crimping mechanism includes a compensation element and a crimping block, wherein the compensation element includes an accommodating space, an accommodating groove and a plurality of through holes. The accommodating groove and the through holes communicate with the accommodating space. The accommodating groove is used for accommodating the terminal. The crimping block is connected to the driving mechanism and movably disposed in the accommodating space. Each of the adjustable elements is movably disposed in each of the through holes such that it can be moved into the accommodating space to be against the crimping block such that the convex teeth of the crimping block are aligned with a plurality of pins on the terminal.

Disclosed in the present invention is a method for plugging/unplugging a probe of a metallurgical automatic sublance. A laser distance sensor is mounted on an end-effector of a drive device; the drive device drives the laser distance sensor to scan the automatic sublance according to setting areas; position and orientation information of the automatic sublance is calculated by a calculation unit; according to the position and orientation information of the automatic sublance, a gripper on the end-effector implements a process of plugging/unplugging the probe of the automatic sublance. According to the present invention, an existing automatic sublance does not need to be improved, and only external sensors need to be used for plugging/unplugging detection, so that the plugging/unplugging process can be accurately carried out.
