 There’s no room for question marks when attaching lugs to cables in power critical
 scenarios. You need the right fit with a secure crimp, and you need to be able to prove it.
 Smart Tool+ delivers a perfect crimp every time by automatically measuring the inserted
 connector and applying the ideal compression depth and force, giving you the precision
 of a die but without the complications. An in-tool indicator confirms the secure crimp, and
 that data is stored and uploaded to a cloud database via Bluetooth technology – resulting
 in a verifiable success every time. go.abb/smarttool            www.ieci.org  |  September/October 2019  |  Insights Magazine  3
