Calibration for Crimp Tools
Paladin Tools offers calibration information and support
for professional crimping tools in our HTO (1600 Series)
and CTO (Heavy Duty Series) frame styles. The professional
tools are designed, manufactured, assembled, and tested
to meet the calibration criteria specified by DIN
(Deutsche Industry Norm) Standards.
Our 1300 Series and CrimpALL 8000 Series interchangeable
die crimping tools are not covered by a calibration program.
These tools, while manufactured with the highest
quality materials and workmanship, are intended for
multiple-application use that prevents a calibration
standard for the tool. The continuous changing of die
sets and applications prohibits an acceptable calibration
platform for these tools. To calibrate these tools,
contact the connector manufacturer for crimp and
pull force specifications.
For more information about calibrating crimp tools,
call our Customer Service Team at:
800.272.8665 or 001.804.550.1121,
or look on our web site:
