Secure and flexible crimping with only one tool

The crimping of wire-end ferrules usually requires individual crimping tools, along with matching contacts. However, Weidmüller provides a wide range of high-quality, wire-end ferrules with the PZ6 Roto L crimping tool, ensuring that users are able to achieve faultless crimping results and undertake a vast range of requirements using this one tool. Incorporating a flexible and a fixed crimp insert in a single tool also eliminates the need for time-consuming tool changing. The tool is also equipped with a secure automatic stop which prevents it from being accidentally opened during the crimping process and helps to prevent time-consuming and costly, faulty crimping. The automatic stop can be released at any time if there is a malfunction. In operation, the PZ6 Roto L combines an adjustable crimp insert with a fixed locking mechanism. Lines and wire-end ferrules can be simply inserted into the tool either from the front or the side, significantly reducing the effort involved. And in addition, the crimp insert is designed to rotate and can be locked in two positions, which prevents the crimp insert from being accidentally rotated during the crimping process. This means consistent, high-quality and accurate crimping results are achieved each time and it can be used in a whole range of diverse applications. The requirements of crimped connections are specified in DIN EN 60352-2. An essential quality criterion is the tensile strength achieved for the connection, as well as the avoidance of typical crimping errors. Weidmüller crimping tools and wire-end ferrules are aligned to one another in accordance with the standard and guarantee a consistently high processing quality.
