Changes of the layout/design on the packaging 10 Dec, 2004 During week 50-51 the layout/design of packaging for Elpress manual crimp tools will be changed to the better. The tools are packed as you can see from above photo and can be used in hangcells. For storage an outer packaging in card box paper will be supplied.   Assortment boxes 10 Dec, 2004 Boxes SD0515TWIN, SD0725TWIN and SD1560TWIN sell in extremely low volumes and have been removed from the active range of products. This means that we sell out what we have in stock.

Lengths of deep earthing rods 25 May, 2004

WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM?
We have over the latest years had quite a lot of complaints over the 1 m length of the deep earthing rods FS21, FS31, FSHD23 and FSHD31. When working with heavy gasoline / pneumatic / hydraulic or electric hammers the initial working height may create quite a difficult work position and eventually even work damage risks.
WHAT’S NEW NOW?
We therefore now introduce the earlier special length of 0.8 m as new standard length for all the rods mentioned above. This will meet the strong requirements from many end users.
WHEN CAN WE SUPPLY?
The existing stock of 1 m lengths will be sold out and the new lengths will then be supplied automatically to the same part numbers. We estimate the old types to be obsolete sometime from mid May to June 04 depending on type.
FURTHER ACTIONS
We plan an updated product pamphlet for the deep earthing material to be released in August and the changes above will of course appear there as well as in the new product catalogues now being in the pipeline.
 

Product update KRF/KSF 240 mm², 300 mm² and 400 mm 25 May, 2004

Elpress product type KRF/KSF which can be used together with both stranded and flexible copper conductors has been updated and changed concerning measures of three tube dimensions. This changes has been made on the nominal sizes of 240 mm², 300 mm² and 400 mm². The purpose is to improve fitness to actual conductor diameters and also crimping results. New dimensions of tubes has been used in product manufacturing from week 0332. The changing will not affect unique product types or special solutions for instance “Trafo”.
KRF/KSF 240A, New designation
New inner diameter will be nominal 22.5 mm, outer diameter 29 mm. Standard terminal palm wide will then be nominal 42 mm. This change will not affect the use of crimping tools. Same dies as before shall be used. Marking of product barrels will be 30 as before.
KRF/KSF 300A, New designation
New inner diameter will be nominal 24.5 mm, outer diameter 31.5 mm. Standard terminal palm wide will then be nominal 45 mm. This change will not affect the use of crimping tools. Same dies as before shall be used. Marking of product barrels will be 32 as before.
KRF/KSF 400A, New designation
No change of inner diameter, nominal 30 mm. New outer diameter will be 38 mm. Standard terminal palm wide will then be nominal 56 mm. This change will affect the use of crimping tools. New dies to use are named 14B38 for V1400 system (25B38 for V2500 system). Marking of product barrels will be 38.
Make two crimps.
 

KRF16 - - Change from August 2003 01 Jul, 2003

The total length for KRF16-6 and -8 has gone from 33 (+/-1)mm to 34 (+/-1)mm. The measure front end - hole centre has changed from earlier 7 (+/-1)mm to present 8 (+/-0,5)mm. The new measure for the palm length for KRF16-10 is 21 (+/-0,5)mm. Earlier this measure was 22 (+/-0,5)mm.
 

Receptacle with tongue rolled type 13 Mar, 2003

All FLSN-types are replaced with alternate model, as the earlier has been discontinued. Difference is two springslots and other neck grooves. Fully compatible with earlier.
 

Tabs for soldering 17127 and 17128, cat. page 3.11 03 Jan, 2003

Please notice that there is a printing error in the data for the above products: the cc-dimension should be 5.0 mm and not
6.2 mm as said in the catalogue.
 

Chamfered edges 05 Mar, 2002

Copper terminal lugs and connectors from 50 mm² and up have until now had rather sharp outer edges at the entries. These edges have sometimes caused problems for example when heat shrinking insulation sleeves over the crimp. Elpress is now as far as we know the first to have introduced chamfered entries also on the outside and the new smooth design solves these problems. This update does not influence on other properties and we have therefore kept the previous product designations.
 

Update of Elpress pre-insulated rings and forks 12 Feb, 2002

For many years there has been a discussion if the straight sides of the pre-insulated rings is an advantage or a disadvantage in practical use and in perception of the product. In order to meet requirements of having round rings Elpress have decided to change the rings and forks (which come from the same mother-tools). The changes in actual outer (build-in) measures are in almost all cases very nominal and should in most cases not bring any problems in use. The main measures (old and new) are found in the attached tables. This change is, because of tool rebuild, gradually being introduced. The red and blue rings are already in production (June 2001) and yellow rings are introduced during the autumn 2001. Some red forks are also started and the others will follow directly after the yellow rings to be finished during 2002.

001 substituted by SCT001 01 Feb, 2002

Corresponding catalogue page 9.4 in the new English and German catalogues.
We have invested in new production tooling for the good old cutter/stripper 001 and at the same time a few updates are made regarding material, marking and packaging.
Therefore and to bring the product designation in line with other tools in the Elpress range this tool will in the future be referred to as the SCT001.
Time plan
The up-dated version will be available from Elpress stock from end February 2002.
 

Box-type receptacles (push-on terminals) 09 Jan, 2002

Catalogue page 3.6-3.7 and 1.7 English and German catalogues. Due to decreasing sales over long time Elpress will during 2002 on an individual basis discontinue manufacture and sales of receptacles of so called box-type (see catalogue, product designations ending with FLP). The receptacles in question are replaced by the corresponding rolled types (designations ending with FLS). The individual change will take place subject to supply and demand. At the same time a new FLS-article is introduced (B1507FLSN) that earlier did not have a corresponding FLP-type.

 

P6000 / P6000DB English catalogue page 8.34 08 Jan, 2002

Some time ago we were informed that a number of basic components in our battery operated pumps P6000 and P6000DB would no longer be available. We then estimated that our existing stock would cover sales during year 2002. Unexpected high sales during last part of 2001 however, now force us to inform you that we are totally sold out and we therefore have to discontinue these items from our active range of products. This does of course not influence on supply of accessories and spare parts. We are working hard on the next generation of this product and we estimate to be able to come back to you on this subject towards the end of this year.
 

KRF300-xx and KRF400-xx measures, page 4.6 in cat. 10 Aug, 2001

Terminal palm measures and consequently total lengths have been slightly altered due to production tooling updates in accordance with the following: Terminal KRF300-xx N 22 mm, N1 31 mm, L 115 mm, KRF400-xx N 22 mm, N1 33 mm, L 124 mm. The change takes place from June 2001 and the products will be supplied in the updated version as soon as possible old stocks are sold out.
 

Comfortable handles on the D-tools 20 Apr, 2001

Elpress D-Series of crimp tools have got new ergonomic handles with softer inlays on the upper handle. The slightly higher friction towards the inlay as well as the new shape and hardness result in a considerably increased working comfort and the tool is perceived to be more “easy-to-work-with”. Supply starts in March 2001.
 

Change regarding 90° push-on terminals 20 Apr, 2001

These terminals (cat. pages 3.7-8) with suffixes –FLSB and –FLPB have had very low consumption and we have to discontinue those with lowest turnover. Hence the following types will no more be available (when stock is empty): B1505FLPB5, B1505FLPB8 and B2507FLPB8 and at the same time the corresponding crimp tools T2260 and T2261. The B1507FLSB8 will remain and should be crimped with the new TRB0515B tool.
 

New catalogue information on end terminals 20 Apr, 2001

In Elpress catalogues chapter 2 a few pieces of information have been updated. Most important is that the colours of some insulation sleeves are changed to ivory for code W 10mm² violet for code T 0.25 mm² rose for code T 0.34 mm² white for code T 16 mm²
 

New hobby crimpers - T50, T51 and T52 23 Mar, 2001

The earlier Elpress hobby tools 50, 51 and 52 are not manufactured any more due to worn out production tools. The new tools, that have a T in front of the designating number, have the same functions and also more comfortable handles. From March 2001 they will be supplied in a new transparent, hard plastic box.
