Panduit CT-600-A Pneumatic Crimping Tool

This Panduit CT-600-A pneumatic ratchet crimping tool comes with a 6' air hose assembly and a carrying case for storage and portability. It is suitable for use with conductors from American Wire Gauge (AWG) #26 to #10 and matching insulated and non-insulated terminals, disconnects, and splices when used with lubricated compressed air and a combination of compatible Panduit crimp heads (not included). It has an operating pressure range of 87 to 116 pounds per square inch (psi) and a ratchet release knob for opening the jaws of the crimp head before completing a full crimp cycle when necessary. The 6' air hose assembly has a 1/8" industrial quick disconnect fitting on one end for attachment to the cylindrical tool body, and a male 1/4" National Pipe Taper (NPT) threaded fitting on the other end for connecting to a compressed air source. This pneumatic ratchet crimping tool is suitable for use in crimping applications that require higher volumes than can be achieved with hand-operated crimping tools.

Crimpers, also called crimping tools, pinch wire terminals and connectors to wires to prepare them for use in electrical or communications applications. They have nests and indenters that vary in size and shape according to application. Manual crimpers are suitable for portable applications that create small terminal connections while power crimpers use air, electricity, hydraulic power, or a combination of these to aid compression, and are used in high volume applications. Crimpers can be used for applications ranging from manual field repairs to fully automated terminal production operations.
