Abstract
A crimp tool for pressing the end sleeves of strands with a pair of jaws (1, 2) held in a pivot bearing (5) and swivellable about the pivot bearing by means of a drive (9) acting upon the driver ends of each jaw (1, 2). A cheek plate (20, 21) is connected to each of the clamp ends of the jaws (1, 2), and is movable into a first pressing position (17) for universally covering a range of cross-sectional areas of end sleeves (19). The jaws (1, 2) each include a rigid area (7) and a resilient area (8). A first stop (26) and counter-stop (27) are connected between the cheek plates (20, 21) and the resilient area (8) of each jaw (1, 2) and a second stop (28) and counter-stop (29) between the cheek plate and the rigid area (7) of each jaw (1, 2). The first stops (26) and counter-stops (27) are dimensioned to engage one another during crimping, and the second stops (28) and counter-stop (29) come to engage one another during crimping only during crimping of end sleeves having the maximum cross-sectional area that can be received between the cheek plates (20, 21) of the jaws (1, 2).
