Datasheet

Molex announced its heavy-duty TM-4000 Universal Crimp Press provides up to 31 kN (7000lbf) for bench-top crimping large lug products of up to 4 AWG. The TM-4000 Universal Crimp Press is an inexpensive, electrically controlled, direct-drive press designed for mid-volume, semi-automatic bench-top operations such as those found in the automotive, industrial and commercial markets. Capable of production rates of up to 2,400 terminations per hour, the TM-4000 offers contract manufacturers, assembly houses and design engineers an effective and affordable method of applying a wide range of side- and rear-feed terminals to heavy-gauge wires.

According to Molex product manager Bob Grenke: “The TM-4000 press will allow our customers to reduce their applied costs - per part - as well as increase their quality through the use of a consistent bench top machine instead of a more manual operator dependent hand tool process. Compared to other standard presses, which terminate up to 10 AWG, the TM-4000 can handle much heavier gauges and is less expensive.”

To help reduce tooling costs and provide production flexibility, the TM-4000 accepts most industry standard applicators, including air-feed applicators that process terminals mounted on Mylar* tape, as well as FineAdjust™ and Mini-Mac™ applicators with side and rear feeds.

The TM-4000 Universal Crimp Press meets the strict OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) safety and noise requirements and is CE approved, according the essential health and safety requirements of the Machinery Directive, Low Voltage Directive and EMC Directive, which reduces the risk of injury. Two attached safety interlock switches prevent the press from cycling if the guard is open or when it is being hand cycled.
