Abstract
Tools for crimping or cutting of an object such as a wire, cable, or connector. The tool includes a first member and a second member configured to come together through a gap to crimp or cut a wire, cable or connector and a laser positioned to visually indicate a region where at least one member traverses as the first and second member come together through the gap. This visual indication aids in alignment of the object for the crimping or cutting operation.
Claims26
A tool head for operating on an object, the tool head comprising:
- a first member and a second member, the second member being stationary and the first member being movable along a track in a first direction toward the second member and in a second direction away from the second member;
- and
- a light source positioned in the track in proximity to the second member, the light source generating a narrow beam of light in a direction away from the track that is substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of movement of the first member along the track and that visually indicates where a feature of the first member is to interact with object.
