Abstract
A working head for a hydraulic power tool including a head frame and a first moveable die head configured to move along the working head frame. The first moveable die head configured to receive a first moveable die comprising a first body length. A second die head is adapted to receive a second die comprising a second body length. The first body length of the moveable die is different from the second body length of the stationary die.
Claims22
A working head for a hydraulic power tool, the working head comprising:
- a head frame;
- a first moveable die head configured to move along the head frame, the first moveable die head receiving a first moveable die comprising a first body length;
- and
- a second die head receiving a second die comprising a second body length,
- wherein the first body length of the first moveable die is different from the second body length of the second die,
- wherein the second die and the first moveable die define a working distance between a first die face of the first moveable die and a second die face of the second die when a ram assembly of the hydraulic power tool is in a retracted position, and
- wherein at least one of the first body length or the second body length is greater than the working distance.
A working head for a hydraulic power tool, the working head comprising:
- a head frame;
- a first moveable die head configured to move along the head frame;
- a first moveable die retained in the first moveable die head by an engagement between a first ledge of the first moveable die head and a first notch of the first moveable die, wherein the first moveable die has a first body length extending between the first notch and a first die face;
- a second die head opposite the first moveable die head on the head frame;
- a second die retained in the second die head by an engagement between a second ledge of the second die head and a second notch of the second die, wherein the second die has a second body length extending from the second notch to a second die face,
- wherein the first die face opposes the second die face, and
- wherein the first body length of the first moveable die is different than the second body length of the second die.
A crimping head for a hydraulic power tool, the crimping head comprising:
- a head frame;
- a first moveable die head configured to move along the head frame, the first moveable die head receiving a moveable crimp die comprising a first body length, the moveable crimp die defining a first crimp groove;
- and
- a second die head receiving a stationary crimp die comprising a second body length, the stationary crimp die defining a second crimp groove on a second die face,
- wherein the first body length of the moveable crimp die is different from the second body length of the stationary crimp die, and
- wherein a size of the first crimp groove is the same as a size of the second crimp groove.
