A crimping tool with a quick-change crimp head for sealing and
electrically crimping electrical contacts to insulated wires. The
crimping tool includes a base unit with a receptacle that is configured
to actuate and removably and replaceably receive the quick-change crimp
head. A crimping die holder body includes a plurality of crimp-seal and
continuity-crimping dies. These dies are mounted for movement in the
crimping die holder body between an open configuration and a fully
crimped configuration. The crimp-seal dies have arcuate die faces that
define a substantially closed generally cylindrical form when the dies
are in the fully crimped configuration. Actuators are mounted in the base
unit. The actuators are adapted to cause the dies to move in the body. A
sensor system is configured to prevent the crimping tool from
unintentionally repeating a crimping operation on the electrical contact,
and to verify continuity-crimp depth of indentation.
