Crimping tool locator and crimping tool

A crimping tool locator for defining a position and/or orientation of a workpiece relative to a crimping tool having a crimping stroke, the crimping tool locator comprising:

• an accommodating body with at least one accommodation for the workpiece formed in said accommodating body, said accommodation being adapted to receive the workpiece in a direction of insertion of the workpiece, the direction of insertion being parallel to a longitudinal axis of the accommodation, the longitudinal axis of the accommodation being parallel to a longitudinal axis of the workpiece when the workpiece is arranged in the accommodation;
• and
• said accommodating body comprising a securing device for securing the workpiece in the interior of the accommodation, said securing device comprising a spring arm and at least one of a latching element and a locking element, the spring arm and said at least one of the latching element and the locking element being designed and configured to interact with the workpiece within the accommodation when the workpiece is arranged in the accommodation for providing the securing effect at a location within the accommodation, wherein the at least one of the latching element and the locking element are not moved during the crimping stroke,
• wherein the securing device further comprises a manual actuation organ, said manual actuation organ being designed and configured to interact with at least one of the spring arm and said at least one of the latching element and the locking element to perform at least one of
• supporting the securing device with regard to the securing effect,
• holding the securing device in the secured position and
• actuating the securing device,
• wherein the crimping tool locator is designed and configured such that the securing device can be transferred into:
• a) a secured position in which the workpiece arranged in the accommodation is secured with the securing effect;
• and
• b) an unsecured position in which a workpiece arranged in the accommodation is not secured with the securing effect.

• and
• said accommodating body comprising a securing device for securing the workpiece in the interior of the accommodation, said securing device comprising a spring arm and at least one of a latching element and a locking element, the spring arm and said at least one of the latching element and the locking element being designed and configured to interact with the workpiece within the accommodation when the workpiece is arranged in the accommodation for providing the securing effect at a location within the accommodation, wherein the at least one of the latching element and the locking element are not moved during the crimping stroke, and wherein the securing device is designed and configured for being actuated and released in a motion-controlled way by a movement of the accommodating body relative to a pliers head by which the crimping tool locator is held,
• wherein the crimping tool locator is designed and configured such that the securing device can be transferred into:
• a) a secured position in which the workpiece arranged in the accommodation is secured with the securing effect;
• and
• b) an unsecured position in which a workpiece arranged in the accommodation is not secured with the securing effect.
