The new CIMCO series includes four crimping
and five cutting tools for a range of applications.
A highlight: in contrast to standard tools, a service
cycle is only required after the tool has been
operated 20,000 times. An annual service is no
longer required. Additional important features are
the pressure safety system to prevent overpressure
errors and the USB interface for data analysis
and monitoring. This provides users with the
possibility of proving that they have carried out
the work safely.
The hydraulic, battery-operated crimping tool
can apply up to 60 kN of force. Depending on
Products
the head, the user can select crimping inserts
according to DIN 48083 part 1 up to 185 mm
2
(open C-shaped crimping head), or the standard
C half shells up to 300 mm2 (crimping head with
quick release).
In addition, the user has a practical battery-
operated cutter which makes it easy to cut Cu
and Al conductors up to 25 mm ø, or also steel
cable up to 16mm ø.
The series also includes two 130 kNpistol-shaped
crimping tools for a diameter of up to 400 mm2
(H-shaped head andC-head). A variety of cutting
tools in this shape complete the product range.
All tools are supplied with two high performance
18 V Li-Ion rechargeable batteries compatible
with the DeWalt XR series charging system. All
tools also have a simple LED display showing
battery charge, errors, and maintenance checks.
They are also equipped with an energy-saving
function to switch the tool off automatically after
10 minutes if it has not been used.

battery-powered, hydraulic
crimping and cutting tools from
CIMCO make it possible to
verify the quality of the work
carried out thanks to data
analysis.
A whitepaper from Eaton to help with the implementation of DIN EN 60204-1.
Any company that wants to put machinery and
equipment on the market in the European Union
must affix the CE mark to its products. This marking
certifies that the machine meets the requirements
of all relevant EU directives. CE marking serves as
a kind of passport to support the free movement
of goods within the European Economic Area.
EU directives such as the Low Voltage Directive
(2014/35/EU) and the Machinery Directive
(2006/42/EC) contain requirements for general
and occupational safety that must be met by all
the products they cover.
According to both these directives, EN 60204-1
is the designated harmonized standard for the
electrical equipment of machines. It applies to
all electrical, electronic and programmable
electronic equipment and systems for machines,
including machine clusters that operate in a
coordinated manner.

Information about New Norms
EN 60204-1 had been in place for more than
ten years. In June 2019, theGerman version (VDE
0113-1) of the European EN 60204-1 came
into force. This updated version contains new
requirements that must be taken into account when
configuring a machine or system. This applies
in particular to devices that interrupt the power
supply in order to prevent unexpected start-up,
as well as to residual current devices and to
the activation of the stop function in frequency
inverters.
The Eaton whitepaper not only explains these
changes but also provides practical tips for easy
implementation of the update to EN 60204-1.
