Abstract
Systems and methods presented herein facilitate providing at least partially automated power for the purpose of forming dimples in coiled tubing. For example, a coiled tubing dimpling tool may include a cylindrical housing configured to receive and secure coiled tubing therein. The coiled tubing dimpling tool may also include one or more dimpling punches at least partially disposed in a wall of the cylindrical housing and configured to be pressed against the coiled tubing to form one or more dimples in the coiled tubing. The coiled tubing dimpling tool may further include an actuation mechanism configured to be actuated to generate at least a portion of a force used to cause the one or more dimpling punches to be pressed against the coiled tubing to form the one or more dimples in the coiled tubing.
