Weidmuller USA has introduced the PowerCrimper Vario, a semi-automated machine with an electric-powered drive (no foot switch required) for applications that require durable crimping connections. Procedures start only when the protective cover is closed, ensuring finger safety for operators. The crimper also provides short cycle times of approximately one second, and a high level of flexibility in combination with PowerStripper 6.0/16.0. Various inserts, such as for insulated connectors from 0.5 to 6mm2 (AWG 20-10) or for wire end ferrules 6 to 16 mm2 (AWG 10-6), enable a force-saving crimping process.
