Safe-T-Cable Tooling Guide – CRiMP-TECH AUSTRALIA

PRODUCTS
- Backshell ToolingThe evolution of circular connectors has produced a multitude of configurations which have more precise dimensional tolerances and electrical characteristics than any other mechanical component used in modern electrical systems. The associated tooling must meet the same level of precision to apply the connector to its intended purpose. Until now, very little attention has been focused on the tooling which is used to mount strain-relief backshells and other accessories to wired connector assemblies. This is why the BETA® system was developed.
- Banding ToolsThe termination of EMI/RFI shielding materials is a specialised science in today’s aerospace wiring systems. Application tooling is a critical factor in the overall performance of the wiring system components. DMC has worked closely with the world’s leading connector accessory manufacturers and standards organisations to develop the necessary tooling and accessories to meet the stringent demands of aerospace and defence system contractors. The resulting products afford the user a repeatable and reliable means of terminating shielding on aerospace wiring systems. Tooling is available for all bands qualified to AS85049/128
- Battery Crimp ToolsCrimp-Tech Australia has a range of battery operated crimp tools to crimp a wide range of contacts, terminals and splices . We believe the following information and data will answer your questions. If not please contact us for personalized service. Working on today’s electrical connections calls for increased mobility and repeatable, consistent crimping force so we offer a wide range of battery powered crimp tools designed to integrate with your current tooling systems. These battery powered tools offer the mobility of a hand tool without sacrificing the power of pneumatic tools. In the field or on the factory floor, every tool crimps with the consistency and precision you expect from DMC products. The ergonomic tool body helps reduce workplace injuries and eases operator fatigue keeping costs low and production high. DMC battery powered tools have been engineered to work with our existing die series and compliment our established crimp tool lines. And, as always, if we don’t have a die to meet your needs, we will engineer and manufacture it for you. So if your workload is too much for hand tools, or pneumatic hoses and power cables are unwelcome, unsafe or impractical for the work environment, a battery powered…

- Crimp Tool GaugesWith the need to ensure that your tooling die sets, positioners, turret heads and also the indent crimp tools is in calibration and conforms to the required standards, DMC have a large range of GO NO-GO Gauges available for a variety of applications. If you do not know the required GO NO-GO gauge please contact us for assistance.
- Cutting & Stripping ToolsCable preparation is an essential part of wiring system practices, and have the right tool to prepare our cable for crimping of contacts, terminals or lugs is critical. It is important not to damage the insulation on conductors, cable shielding or damage the copper or fibre that will be transmitting the signal down you cable.
- DMC Tool KitsBuilding a tool kit to service an entire wiring system involves extensive research to select to correct tooling and ensure all serviceable connectors, terminals, splices and contacts are covered. Technicians who are responsible for the maintenance or production of entire systems cannot be expected to know all the answers, nor do they have the time to do the necessary research or locate tooling. Crimp-Tech and DMC has this knowledge and does the technical research for them.
- Hand Crimp ToolsCrimp-Tech Australia offers a range of Military and Commercial Hand Crimp Tools. Here you will find a range of these products, if the particular tool you are looking for is not listed please contact us.

- Insertion/Removal ToolsDMC is dedicated to serving the connector tooling needs of the electronics industry. We, therefore, top off our product package with a wide variety of installing and removal tools. Although we supply both plastic and metal tools, we recommend the use of the metal tools because of their durability. When used properly they are more cost effective in that they withstand thousands of contact insertion and removal cycles. The trend to all metals tools is being actively encouraged by most departments of the government. DMC installing and removal tools are of proven high quality and reliability. In addition to the tools listed in these reference table, we have many more for other connector applications. Please contact us for more details.

- Safe-T-CableSafe-T-Cable™ is constructed of high tensile strength, stranded cable. It is more flexible than its Safety Wire counterpart, although the working diameters are equivalent. This provides a stronger assembly which has greater strength and lighter weight. The cable ends are electrically fused to form an easy threading end.

Save Time and Money by Replacing Your Old Lockwire System with Safe-T-Cable

Adjustable Tension Hand Tool Series

The most popular hand operated application tool for Safe-T-Cable™ is the SCTR Series Adjustable Tension Tool.

This tool series features a rotary tension mechanism which can be adjusted to precise cable tension requirements. This is a necessary control feature and very popular with all users. The tension will repeat at the setting that has been selected for reliable Safe-T-Cable® installations. Like all DMC Safe-T-Cable tools, this tool series features replaceable noses of various lengths

DMC PART NUMBER	CABLE DIAMETER	NOSE LENGTH
SCTR203	.022	3 inches
SCTR207	.022	7 inches
SCTR323	.032	3 inches
SCTR327	.032	7 inches
SCTR403	.040	3 inches
SCTR407	.040	7 inches

Pre-Set Tension Hand Tool Series

In some factories where control of tool adjustments are not possible, the skill level may be lacking, or applications where a single-handed operation of the tool is desirable, the SCT Series Application Tool may be the best choice. All tools in this series feature a tension mechanism, which allows single-handed use of the tool (after the cable is threaded through and into the tool). Multiple actuations of the tool handle will draw the cable into the tool until all slack is removed from the cable.

When the tool senses the correct tension (pre-set at the factory), it will shift into the crimp-cut mode, and complete the installation of the Safe-T-Cable® on the next closure of the handle.

Pneumatic Tool Series

When ergonomics and production demands are critical issues, the DMC SCTPR and SCTP Series Pneumatic tools are the right choice.

Safe-T-Cable™ is threaded through the fasteners, into the ferrule, and into the tool in the same fashion as the manual tools, but the push of a button is all that is necessary to complete the termination. The tool automatically applies tension (adjustable), crimps and cuts flush in one actuation of the trigger. These tools operate on standard shop air pressure, and may be suspended from a load balancer for an even greater improvement in ergonomics.

Battery Powered Tool Series

The DMC SCTE Series Battery Powered Safe-T-Cable™ tool is an ergonomic alternative to the other Safe-T-Cable™Application Tools where a portable tool, without a hose or cord is required.

The self-contained hydraulic crimp system is reliable and the tool accommodates the same changeable noses and other accessories that are interchangeable with other DMC Safe-T-Cable™ Application Tools.

Complete Tool & Parts Kits for Safe-T-Cable™ Applications

Our Safe-T-Cable tool kits are well-known throughout the aerospace industry. The packaging materials (case, inset, and instructions) are manufactured to specifically meet the most demanding environmental and worksite conditions.

FOD (Foreign Object Damage) is always a concern when workers are required to use tools and small components in or around an aircraft. The DMC Safe-T-Cable™ kits are designed to minimize that concern. The “shadowing” principal is a proven concept for tool/parts control. Safe-T-Cable™ Tool and Parts Kits are available in a variety of configurations to support your specific requirements. Out most requested Tool & Parts Kit is the DMC1000-4R (pictured) due to the popularity of .032 diameter Safe-T-Cable™, and the demand for a travel-ready system whereby the user has Tools, Verification Equipment, Accessories, a supply of Cable/Ferrules, and the Instructions all in one package.
