Elpress Crimping Tool Systems consist of Cable Connectors and Crimping Tools tested together for an optimum connection result. The System concept makes you, as a customer, able to feel secure when using our system and to be sure safe connections are made when Elpress products are used correctly.
Elpress Hydraulic Crimp Systems fit Elpress Terminals and Connectors from 10 to 1200 mm². The systems comprise either Pumps and Crimp Heads which can be freely combined or by complete hand held tools where these functions are integrated.
For crimping, prerounding of sector-shaped conductors, cable cutting, etc. there is a variety of accessories. Together with matching Terminals the complete Crimp System is formed. Both Pumps and Hand Crimping Tools have, with a few exceptions, fast feed function that allows the actual crimping to start after the Dies have rapidly been brought in contact with the terminal. There is also a full-closure function to safe-guard a complete crimp action.
In the Crimping Tool Overview Chart above you can see our range of different Tools covering different crimping needs. The obvious differentiating factors between them are the Crimping Force that each tool can deliver and the Crimping Area that the tool is suitable for.
This article aims to clarify the Features, Crimping Areas and Geometries covered from each of the Elpress Systems’ Tools and Components:
