EXPERIENCE Elpress DUAL
Elpress have developed the DUAL system for crimping of flexible copper conductors in KRF/KRFS connectors.
This technique has been developed by Elpress to meet the hard combined requirements from manufacturers with the best result. The DUAL technology combines the desired properties from an optimal hexagonal crimp with those of a limited indent crimp. This results in tight contact surfaces without damage to the conductor strands.
Contact crimping with the DUAL technique takes place in a two-step movement: First a hexagonal crimping that provides optimal symmetrical contact with the conductor’s wires, which means that no wires are broken or split in the edge facing the connector. This is followed by an indent crimp which compresses the inner wires and provides 30% better electrical stability compared to traditional hexagonal crimping.
KRF®
Elpress innovation KRF are dimensioned, both neck and plate, to handle the same current as the corresponding conductor can handle. This, of course, in combination with Elpress DUAL crimping. And these two combined are an IEC61238-1 tested solution.
Elpress KRF-terminals go with conductors class 2,5 och 6, according to IEC60228 standard.

Certify your team.
You can certify your team with Elpress Academy! Every year, we visit multiple companies around the world to educate and train their operators to ensure they have the right knowledge to perform the crimping correctly. When you choose System Elpress for your crimping requirements, we offer training containing both theoretical and practical exercises.
After a completed course, the operators will be awarded a certification. These individuals have demonstrated a skill level necessary to carry out the work in a safe and proper manner when working with crimping in advanced applications. We tailor the training based on your needs and what best suits your organization.
