The Electro Crimper EC 65 can be used to crimp a wide variety of contacts. The crimping process is triggered by a footswitch, leaving both hands free to position the conductor and contact. An additional two-stage operating mode allows the contact to be secured in place before the crimping process begins; this facilitates the processing of complex crimp contacts and helps prevent faulty crimps. The opening width of the dies is adjustable in five steps, and changing the dies is simple and quick.
