Elpress Crimping Tool Systems Explained: Your E-Tech Components Guide
Elpress Crimping Tool Systems are designed as complete solutions, combining Cable Connectors and Crimping Tools that have been tested together to ensure optimal connection results. This system-based approach gives you confidence that, when used correctly, Elpress products deliver safe and reliable connections.
The Elpress Hydraulic Crimp Systems accommodate Elpress Terminals and Connectors ranging from 10 to 1200 mm². These systems are available either as modular Pumps and Crimp Heads, which can be combined as needed, or as fully integrated hand-held tools that incorporate both functions.
A wide range of accessories is available for tasks such as Crimping, Pre-Rounding of Sector-Shaped Conductors, and Cable Cutting. When paired with the corresponding Terminals, these accessories complete the Crimp System. Both Pumps and Hand Crimping Tools (with a few exceptions) feature a fast-feed function, allowing the dies to quickly engage the terminal before the actual crimping begins. Additionally, a full-closure function ensures the crimping process is fully completed for maximum reliability.
