Description

HX23 BENCH CRIMP PRODUCTION PRESS
COMPATIBILITY WITH EXISTING CRIMP DIES
The HX23 accommodates all M22520/5-XX military and DMC “Y” series crimp dies (see pages 80-83).
This affords total utilization of
existing dies and total interchange- ability with M22520/5-01 (Daniels HX4) handheld tool frames (see pages 80-83).
FULL CYCLE CONTROL
Full die closure is assured on
every crimp. The internal cycle control network will not allow the tool to
open until complete closure is attained. A simple procedure is available to open the tool in cases where a complete cycle cannot be effected. A secure method is provided to prevent unautho- rized personnel from defeating the cycle control system.
HANDS FREE OPERATION
There are no awkward levers or mechanisms used to open or close the crimp dies. These operations waste time and distract the operator’s attention.
TWO STAGE CRIMP PROCESS FOR OPERATOR SAFETY
When the tool is in the normal con- dition, the crimp dies are fully open where contact assemblies can easily
be inserted. A touch of the foot valve releases the dies to a safe gripping position (spring pressure only). When the operator is satisfied that the con- tact assembly is positioned correctly and hands are in a safe position, an- other actuation of the same foot valve completes the crimp and quickly returns the die to the open position for removal of the crimped assembly and loading of the next parts.
MOUNTING
The HX23 is supplied with a stable bench mount which can remain unattached for portability. Or, can be mounted to a workstation by installing fasteners through the holes provided.
The HX23 Production Crimp Press can be used in horizontal or vertical
positions.
OPERATOR SAFETY FEATURES
The HX23 is equipped with a trans- parent guard which affords the pro- tection, but does not restrict vision.
The Hands Free Operation system allows the operator to position the contact assembly while the die is under spring pressure only.
The operator is then free to let the tool hold the contact assembly during the crimp cycle while the operator’s hands and fingers are a safe distance from the crimping die.
The HX23 foot valve assembly is constructed with a protective shroud to prevent accidental actuation. For operation the operator places their foot under the shroud to depress the pedal.
FULL PNEUMATIC OPERATION
Standard clean, dry shop air at the recommended pressure is all that is required to operate the HX23 tool. There are no electrical or hydraulic requirements.
