The crimping of wire-end ferrules not only requires manual dexterity, but also a suitable crimping tool and the matching contacts. 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. In addition to a wide range of high-quality wire-end ferrules, Weidmüller provides its new "PZ 6 Roto L" crimping tool: The quality tool impresses due to its particularly efficient and secure crimping with just one tool - it makes the work easier, even in inaccessible places or in confined cabinets. Users always achieve perfect crimping results with the "PZ 6 Roto L", as the tool adapts flexibly to a wide range of requirements. On the one hand, lines and and wire-end ferrules can be simply inserted into the tool either from the front or the side. On the other hand, the "PZ 6 Roto L" crimp insert is designed to rotate and can be locked in two positions. The fixed locking mechanisms prevent the crimp insert from being accidentally rotated during the crimping process. The user presses an orange button to rotate the crimp insert. The "PZ 6 Roto L" combines an adjustable crimp insert with a fixed locking mechanism for the very first time. The consequence of this is markedly better crimping results and variable applications.
Weidmüller provides users with an innovative tool for working without time-consuming tool changing: The "PZ 6 Roto L" allows the crimping of lines and wire ferrules (with and without plastic collars) for the entire cross-section range from 0.14 to 6.0 mm² (AWG 24-10) without the need for any other tools.
Weidmüller's own Omega spring system of the crimping tool allows the problem-free processing of various wire cross-sections and distributes the force uniformly across the entire tool. This means highly reproducible crimping results are achieved as well as durable tools.
Equipped with a secure automatic stop, the "PZ 6 Roto L" prevents the tool from being accidentally opened during the crimping process and helps to prevent time-consuming faulty crimping. The user can release the automatic stop at any time if there is a malfunction.
The "PZ 6 Roto L" has an excellent, ergonomic handle design. The design, material and surface structure of the handles make professional tool use easier in industry or manual trades and ensure safe, comfortable operation. Added to this is the ease of processing at the highest level: 20 percent more crimping force with 20 percent less manual force. The handles, in a striking two-colour design, are distinguished by their so-called hard/hard combination - particularly advantageous if oil or other lubricants stick to the handles. Thus, wire-end ferrules with or without plastic collars can be easily processed. The pull-out forces far exceed the values stipulated in DIN VDE 0660 T. 100 and EN 60947-1/A11. The "PZ 6 roto L" is particularly suited to small and medium series in the service and repair sector.
Weidmüller crimping tools and wire-end ferrules are aligned to one another in accordance with DIN EN 60352-2 and guarantee a consistently high processing quality. In addition, continuous quality assurance processes ensure high quality standards, such as the service life test, for example, during which the crimping tools must achieve a minimum of 50,000 crimping cycles with uniform quality. Many Weidmüller tools exceed this standard requirement many times over. All Weidmüller hand-held crimping tools are also designed in accordance with DIN 41 641 Part 1.
Besides the new "PZ 6 Roto L" crimping tool, Weidmüller provides KT8 quality tools for the convenient cutting of copper and aluminium cables, stripping tools for all types of cable, as well as a wide range of wire-end ferrules and cable connectors.
