IWS-70DT Point / B / Hex — application and selection
A manually operated bench crimper for compatible battery-cable lugs using a point/indent process. Select the correct profile before choosing a conductor size.
A fixed workbench provides a repeatable working position and supports cable preparation without an air supply or mains connection. Allow enough space for the lever stroke and the cable bend radius. Manual operation still requires controlled setup and inspection.
Specifications and configuration
| Listed family range |
6–70 mm²; terminal-dependent |
| Point configuration |
Indent crimp for compatible tubular battery lugs |
| Other options |
B profile and hex profile are different configurations |
| Installation |
Secure bench mounting with lever clearance |
Before ordering: Point, hex and B profiles are not simply different finishes for the same joint. Use the profile required by the terminal maker and validate the assembly before repeat production.
Choose the right configuration
Choose the exact model in the purchase selector. Product photographs may show different configurations; only the selected package is supplied.
Workstation setup and first-piece checks
- Fasten the tool to a suitable stable bench and check the mechanism before use.
- Match conductor, lug and crimp profile; strip to the terminal maker's specified length without damaging strands.
- Position the lug and conductor as instructed; keep hands clear of the closing tooling and complete the prescribed stroke.
- Inspect the result and perform the terminal maker's specified dimensional or pull-force checks before continuing the batch.
Use the current model-specific instructions. The guide above is a selection and workflow overview, not a substitute for the operating manual.
Maintenance and repeatability
Keep working surfaces clean and inspect tooling for wear, chips, misalignment or loose fasteners. Follow the model-specific lubrication and service instructions. Recheck the first piece after a die change, adjustment or maintenance; stop using damaged tooling. Keep a job record of the terminal, conductor, die and inspection results.
Frequently asked questions
Does the maximum wire size apply to every terminal?
No. Usable capacity depends on conductor construction, terminal material and barrel dimensions, the selected die and the required crimp geometry. Match the complete combination.
How do I check crimp quality?
Use the terminal manufacturer's acceptance criteria. These may include visual checks, crimp height or other dimensions, and pull-force testing. A completed tool cycle alone does not prove electrical performance.
Which option should I buy?
Point, hex and B profiles are not simply different finishes for the same joint. Use the profile required by the terminal maker and validate the assembly before repeat production.
What information should I send for a compatibility check?
Provide the machine model and selected option, terminal part number or drawing, conductor material and cross-section, insulation diameter, and intended workload. For powered models, include your air or electrical supply.
