Pneumatic Crimp Tools for Circular Contacts
• Portable or bench-mounted
• Cycle controlled ratchet
• Foot pedal assembly available
Astro’s line of Pneumatic Crimp Tools is designed for moderate volume production. These tools are available for a wide range of contact sizes, from 8 through 26 and wire sizes 8 through 30 AWG.
The externally and internally adjustable tools are just an example of what we can offer. The multi-function tool can also be equipped with D2 indenters for medical applications and specific crimp ranges.
Tool can be either hand held or mounted on an optional bench mount (P/N 11380). The tool can be actuated by the tool trigger or a foot pedal assembly (P/N 11380-2). (The bench mount and foot pedal can be purchased together as P/N 11380-3). Using these accessories leaves the operator’s hands free for inserting and removing contacts and wire.
These tools operate on 80-120 P.S.I. Astro recommends a filtered, regulated and lubricated air supply for optimal performance. Astro offers the 11413 air regulator for this purpose.
Internally Adjusted P/N: 612871
The internally adjusted line of crimp tools is designed for adjustments by qualified personnel only. This tool features an adjustment knob located inside the front cover plate of the tool. Once set by qualified personnel, the tool is not adjustable by the assembly line operator, thus helping to eliminate operator error. The tool operates with replaceable, single position locators. When using these locators, the internally adjustable tools can crimp a wire range of 8-30 AWG. The internally adjusted tools can be adapted to accept the MS3191-4 and M22520/1 turrets by ordering a 620754 turret adaptor assembly.
Standard internally adjustable tool: part number 612871.
Mini tip tool: part number 612768.
4 indent style tool: part number 11221.
4 indent style tool with 3 locators: part number 10967.

Externally Adjusted P/N: 612141
The externally adjustable line of tools is designed to accept MS3191-4 and M22520/1 style turret head assemblies. These tools have a micrometer style adjustment knob which allows them to be adjusted and set to crimp depths ranging from .015 to .085 inches in increments of .001. The dial indicator on this style of tool has three sets of numbers. One set indicates crimp depth in thousandths of an inch. One set corresponds to the selector knob settings on the M22520/1-01 (615708) tool. The third set corresponds to the selector settings on the MS3191-4 (612179) tool. These multi-selector readings allow the tool to be used easily with the data for crimp settings located on all Mil-Spec turrets. In its turret-operated configuration these tools crimp contact sizes 12 through 26 and wire sizes 12 through 30 AWG.
Standard externally adjustable tool: part number 612141.
This tool can be adapted for use with locators by ordering the part number 615161 slide strap adaptor assembly.
A tool with a mini tip indenter is available under part number 615250.
