DMC1119

Daniels Manufacturing Corporations® AF8® is qualified to AS22520/1 and has virtually limitless application within the specified wire range of 12 through 26 AWG. This tool features a digital display cycle counter.  Over a thousand turret heads are available to adapt the tool frame to your specific military or proprietary contact/wire combination. The 8 impression crimp, which is standard in the AF8, assures absolute maximum tensile strength with almost every closed barrel contact. Special indent configurations and gaging are available upon request.

The AFM8 is qualified to AS22520/2 and is designed for most of the miniature and sub-miniature connector types that are so widely used in electronic systems. The AFM8; meets the need for a miniature tool accommodating wire sizes 20 through 32 AWG. The AFM8 gives a Mil-Standard 8 impression crimp, which assures maximum tensile strength. The cycle-controlled precision ratchet assures consistently accurate crimps every time.  The tool frame has a built-in 8 step selector knob for ease in dialing the correct crimp depth setting for the wire being used.

For proper operation, the tool must be mated with one of the following optional accessories: a military standard or non-military turret head (TH-XXX Part No. Series), a military standard or non-military positioner (TP-XXX Part No. Series), or an adjustable head (Part No. UH2-5). This is done simply by orienting the head in the keyed position, and by tightening the hex socket screws provided as part of the head.

The precision ratchet controls the cycling of the tool in both directions of handle movement. This assures the same accurate crimp every time. It's like having a quality control inspector at every workstation. Positive crimp depth is controlled by an 8 position selector knob conveniently located on the tool frame. The operator simply dials the desired step for the wire being used. This setting can be secured by the use of a locking pin or safety wire.

Other than keeping the unit clean and properly stored when not in service, no operator maintenance is required. DMC® offers complete factory service by knowledgeable technicians within a reasonable turnaround time. Complete instructions concerning the use, care and warranty are supplied with each tool. 

The DMC1119 tool kit contains the AF8 and AFM8 tool frames, tool gage, and all mil-spec positioners and turret heads.
