Service – Calibration – Repair

Being an Authorised DMC Calibration and Repair Centre and having factory training, we meet CASA requirements to calibrate and service DMC tools.

Every 3-4 years, your DMC 8 indent tools (AFM8, AF8 and MH860) require servicing to replace the dry grease inside the tool. We completely strip down the tool, de-grease, replace faulty or worn parts, re-grease, re-assemble, re-calibrate and issue a Certificate of Calibration.

Crimp-Tech Australia is an Authorised DMC Calibration Repair Centre available to overhaul and repair Hand Tools, Pneumatic Tools, Hydraulic Tools and Wiring System Service Kits for periodic inspection & calibration.

 

 

INSPECT STRIP & DE-GREASE RE-GREASE REASSEMBLE RE-CALIBRATE

 

 

With wiring service kits, we clean & repair cases when possible and replace or upgrade foam cavities as needed. We also inspect & calibrate all tooling and determine if repairs or replacement needs to be made. Additionally we identify and replace missing tools, charts, & tool instructions.

When looking at calibration of tooling it is recommended to follow the OEM’s recommended calibration method, this does not exclude pull testing as a secondary calibration method and if no calibration method is set out by the OEM then it can be a primary calibration method.

The interval of calibration is largely dependent on usage of the tooling and industry norms, within aerospace this is usual every 12 months.  Most tools and die sets would use Go No-Go Gauges to check the space between the indenters or cavities in the die set.  Whilst pull testing is a good testing method for confirming the crimped contact is meeting a Military Specification or UL tensile test value one should be aware that a tool can over crimp a contact and this would potentially pass the pull test, however, may cause damage to the contact.

We would recommend checking the OEM recommended calibration method to determine the best course of action for calibrating your tools.

Should you need to send a tool for repair or calibration, please complete one downloadable form for each tool and send with your shipment
