Molex Inc. will be exhibiting at the Electrical Wire Processing Technology Expo on May 14th and 15th at the Wisconsin Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. We will be teamed up with one of our core distribution partners, Heilind. We have been exhibiting at this show with Heilind for over 10 years.
Our focus at this show is to promote overall quality; quality material, quality processes, and quality equipment. When there is a quality issue, it becomes costly to all involved so we at Molex do our best to prevent quality issues before they happen in the field.
We offer a free crimp quality hand book for open and closed terminals. The reference document will show what a good and bad termination looks like and provide insight on what to look for and how to improve your quality process. This document comes in 15 different languages for both terminal types and we also offer a quality wall poster free of charge in 15 languages.
Below is an overview on a few tools we will be demonstrating at this show along with many more tooling options. Please stop by and visit our booth to get your free quality information sent to you.
TM-3000 & TM-4000 Industry Standard Crimp Presses:
The 63801-7200 (120V AC version), the 63801-7300 (240V AC version) TM-3000 Universal Press and the 63801-7600 (240V AC version) TM-4000 Universal Press are economical, high quality, electrically-operated, single-cycle and split cycle direct drive presses. They are designed to provide an effective method of applying a wide range of side-feed and rear-feed terminals to a pre-stripped discrete wire or cable. Both the TM-3000 and the TM-4000 are suited to mid-volume semi-automatic operations. Production flexibility is obtained using interchangeable FineAdjust or Mini-Mac applicators and most Industry Standard Applicators. These presses will complete one crimping cycle with each depression of the foot pedal and two depressions for split cycle. Safe operation is provided by an interlock switch that renders the press inoperative if the safety guard is opened or removed. These presses also have a secondary interlock switch in the back of the motor where the hand cycle wrench is used to prevent the foot switch from cycling during hand cycling operations or if the hand cycle wrench is accidently left in the motor. These cost effective industry standard crimp presses lower our customer’s capital equipment investments. The TM-3000 presses have a crimp range from 8awg and smaller; the TM-4000 press can crimp from 2awg un-insulated and 4awg insulated and smaller due to its large force capability. Both presses are “CE” certified and meet O.S.H.A. safety standards.
Features
- Utilizes both FineAdjust and Mini-Mac applicators side and rear feed, and most industry standard applicators
- Press is set to 135.80mm (5.346”) Industry shut height
- Ideal for mid-volume, semi-automatic applications
- Meets O.S.H.A. safety standards is ANSI-Z535.2-2002 compliant
- Totally enclosed for operator safety, including a power interlock switch for the front guard
- Resettable counter for accurate batch counting
- Modular solid state controls with an easy plug in power cord and foot switch.

The crimp force monitor measures the force signature of a crimped terminal and compares it to a reference crimp. Depending on the limits programmed, the measurements will show the termination quality to pass, fail, or be suspect. When a measurement is suspect, the display backlight will turn yellow to warn the operator. A failed measurement will cause the backlight to turn red and an audible alarm to sound. The operator must press a button to silence the alarm and reset the monitor. If connected, the crimp force monitor can inhibit the press foot switch when a failure occurs. The crimp force monitor can be set to display peak force in pound, kilograms, or newton units. A production counter is also included as well as job storage. This measurement tool allows for accurate discrimination of crimp defects from normal production and has a simple operator function which is easy to set-up.
Features
- Graphics color changes for visual indication of crimp defect
- Audible alarm when defect is found
- Press can be inhibited when defect is found
- USB2.0 interface for PC software
- Password protected set up
- Mounts directly on the TM-3000 and TM-4000 presses
- Not for use on the TM-2000 press
