When we are talking about German precision, the most common things linking to it are either cars or tools. Today we are going to talk about the tools that a German company called "Weidmuller" has made their cornerstone products. These tools are mainly for the crimping and cutting of wires, which have also become popular due to their unique features and durability. Here's some of them.
Cutting
- The first product in our list of cutting tools are the KT wire cutters, which come in a diameter of 8, 12, 14 and 22mm. The unique shape of this cutting tool provides a smooth and straight cut whilst preventing any deformations of the conductor. The KT Popular Weidmuller Tools have special cutting profiles which are made from high-quality materials in order to ensure that the user gets a pinch-free cut with either round or ribbon cables.
- The KT 45R allows you to operate it with one hand whilst also using a minimal amount of force thanks to its optimum level translation and the use of a technically advanced eccentric drive. They are best used with aluminium and copper conductors and for pinch-free cutting. Although it is not suitable for steel armoured cables, steel wires, aluminium alloys and hard-drawn copper conductors, with it you get a release option in every cutting position.
Crimping
- The CTI 6 is a tool used for crimping both insulated and non-insulated cable plugs and connectors with the highest precision and quality. This tool also comes available in a range of cable lugs and cross-sections. For example, there's a CTI 6 made especially for PVC, PC and polycarbonate insulated connectors. There's a mechanical function on this tool that will make sure you have a safe experience while working in different environments, it also comes in a range of crimp inserts that are standard-compliant.
- If you want to be able to crimp in places where it's hard to reach, then the PZ 6 Roto L is the tool you need. You simply need to use the tool in the conditions and reach that the environment allows for. It has an ergonomic handle so you can work with comfort and it also has a lockable crimp set for firm connections. There's a secure automatic stop and the tool can be used with the wire coming from both the sides and the front thanks to it's rotating crimp insert.
- The Stripax plus is a crimping tool that comes with stripping capabilities, whilst providing three functions in one - stripping, crimping and cutting. It has an automatic feeding for linked wire-end ferrules and it has a release option meant to help you with incorrect cutting. Although there is only one crimp station for the entire range of its cross-section, this tool has a ratchet which makes it very precise. This is one of the most Popular Weidmuller Tools as it is a big time saver since its capable of performing three different operations.
