Cable crimping tool
16 September 2009
Manufacturing / Production Technology, Hardware & Services
Legrand’s Starfix ferrules and cable crimping tool form part of the company’s cable management system, designed for new installations and renovations in commercial installations, offices and domestic environments.
The unique feature of this tool is that it efficiently performs four functions, offering claimed time savings of more than 50% compared with traditional tools that complete the same tasks. The Starfix crimping tool cuts, strips (with a side thrust), twists and automatically crimps each Starfix ferrule onto the cable.
This easy to operate tool has a fully adjustable wheel which is set to the cross section of the cable. The cable is then cut to the required length, automatically stripped and then twisted by tightening the tool and pulling the cable to remove the insulation. Ferrules, with an insulating flange, are then dispensed and crimped.
For immediate recognition of the appropriate cross-section of ferrules, they are colour matched with applicators which have a transparent, removable protective cover. Ferrules are manufactured in strips for simultaneous separating and crimping; for easy handling and convenience on-site, they are supplied in boxes. Accessories include cutting and crimping blades, as well as fixing components.
Starfix ferrules can accommodate wire in the single format from 0,5 mm² to 50 mm² and in double format from 2 x 0,75 mm² to 2 x 2,5 mm². The crimping system consists of five empty colour coded applicators for dispensing strips from 0,5 mm² to 6 mm².
Legrand also supplies this cable marketing system in a kit which consists of a crimping tool for crimping up to a 6 mm² ferrule and various individual ferrules between 10 mm² and 50 mm². A tool box for on site use, containing Starfix, Cab 3 and Duplix marking systems, is also available.
