Handtool or crimping machine
21. July 2023
When is the right time to change?
At what point does it actually pay off to switch from a hand tool to a machine crimping solution? This topic is actually not so easy to answer and depends on a wide variety of factors. However, when we are asked this question in a customer meeting, these are the points to be considered for oneself:
- How many connectors are crimped per day on average? Do you crimp more than 50?
- What cross-sections do I want to process? Are they larger than 2.5 mm²?
- Can the cable lengths I want to process be planned?
- Do I often process the same crimp terminals?
- Or do I want to be able to produce a high variety of wire harnesses? Usually more than 5.
If you answer these questions with yes, the purchase of a crimping machine may already be the right solution for you.
