Molex Showcases Application Tooling at EWPTE


Molex will showcase its tooling solutions in booth 1654 at the National Electrical Wire Processing Technology Expo, to be held May 11 - 12 at The Wisconsin Center in Milwaukee. Designed to ensure high-quality electrical connections, Molex (News - Alert) tooling equipment helps prevent unnecessary downtime while ensuring customers meet industry standards and maintain warranties in multiple applications, including automotive, industrial, commercial, contract manufacturer, assembly and design/engineering. Molex also provides application tooling services that help customers during equipment set up and throughout the product's lifecycle.

"Molex helps customers meet the ongoing challenge of achieving superior connections in demanding conditions," said Bob Grenke, application tooling manager, Molex. "We not only provide excellent application tooling solutions, but also top-of-the-line customer service and technical support at no additional cost."

While at the National Electrical Wire Processing Technology Expo, Molex experts will showcase several of its semi-automatic crimping machines, which are ideal for mid-to-high range production volumes:

TM-3000™ Universal Crimp Press System: Delivers an effective method of applying a wide range of side-feed and rear-feed terminals to pre-stripped discrete wire or cable. This press system accepts Molex Mini-Mac™ and FineAdjust™ applicators and uses most industry standard applicators, which reduces tooling costs and provides design flexibility. The direct-drive, split-cycle press accepts Molex air-feed applicators that process terminals mounted on Mylar tape.

TM-4000™ Universal Crimp Press System Shut Height - 135.80mm (5.346"): The only industry standard, bench-top press on the market that terminates large lug products up to 4 AWG, the Molex TM-4000 Universal Crimp Press applies a wide range of side- and rear-feed terminals to heavy-gauge wires. It accepts the most common industry-standard applicators and any Molex applicator, including air-feed applicators that process terminals mounted on Mylar tape.



Tape-Terminal Crimp Modules (Tape Base Unit): Provides an effective method of applying a wide range of side-feed, tape-mounted terminals to pre-stripped discrete wire(s) from 4 to 30 AWG. The crimp module operates only in the TM-4000 and TM-3000 Universal Presses and uses quick-change modular tooling which accepts all existing ATP (News - Alert)-201 and ATP-301 die sets, reducing tooling investment.
