CT 36
Benchtop unit for crimping loose-piece terminals onto wire and cable up to 10 mm² (8 AWG).
Overview
The CT 36 pneumatic crimping machine was developed with safety and productivity in mind for loose-piece crimping applications. Its parallel crimping action delivers a force of up to 20 kN (2.5 tons) for open and closed barrel applications including wire end ferrules. The full-cycle mechanism ensures crimp quality by fully closing the dies before the end of the crimping operation. The machine’s ergonomic 15-degree tilt provides an optimal viewing angle, and LED lighting improves visibility of the crimping area.
The CT 36 offers the operator several safety features:
- The crimp head is closed until the operator is ready.
- The crimp head is controlled by the two-sided foot pedal. The left side opens the head and the right side releases full force for crimping. A mechanical safety lever in between prevents simultaneous operation of the two sides.
- The contacts and the cable are held in position in the crimp nest with low pressure. The operator can ensure the correct position of the terminals and remove his hands from the crimping area.
- If the dies are displaced by an obstruction or incorrectly placed contacts more than 5.9 mm (0.23”), the air pressure is deactivated and full pressure can no longer be applied.
The quick-change system of the die adapters ensures short changeover times. The user can prepare for upcoming jobs by using optional die adapters. The CT 36 is very easy to set up and operate. Various die adapters allow the use of a wide range of crimping tools.
