Klauke EKM60UNV Universal Tool | Cutting, Crimping & Punching in One Compact Solution

klauke ekm60unv – universal cutting, crimping & punching tool

The Klauke EKM 60 UNV is a versatile battery powered hydraulic universal tool engineered that can be used as a battery powered cable crimping tool and battery operated cable cutting tools that comes with one head for crimping, cutting and punching – one tool for all applications.

By combining multiple functions into a single tool, the Klauke EKM 60 UNV tool helps streamline workflows and ensures consistent, high-quality results across a wide range of electrical applications.

compact, portable & powerful Tools

Despite its compact size, the Klauke EKM60UNV delivers powerful hydraulic performance, ensuring consistent results across all applications. Its ergonomic design allows for comfortable one-handed operation, even in confined or overhead working conditions.

The cordless, battery-powered tooling system removes the limitations of manual tools, enabling faster task completion and improved productivity on-site.

reduce equipment – improve efficiency

Carrying multiple tools can slow down installation and maintenance work. The EKM60UNV eliminates this issue by combining three key functions into one device.

• Reduces the number of tools required on-site
• Speeds up installation and maintenance tasks
• Minimises downtime between operations
• Improves workflow efficiency for engineers

For contractors and industrial teams, this results in faster project completion and increased productivity.

built for professional electrical applications

The Klauke EKM60UNV is designed for demanding environments including industrial installations, utilities and panel building. It provides the reliability and precision required for modern electrical systems where performance and safety are essential.

Whether used for installation or maintenance, the tool ensures consistent, repeatable results across all applications.

Compared to larger tools like the EK120UNV, the EKM60UNV offers a more compact and portable solution, making it ideal for everyday use across a wide range of applications.

Ripley US02-7000

Semicon Shaver & Stripping Tool manufactured by Ripley Tools quickly and easily removes bonded semi-con from MV & HV power cables without the requirement for lubrication.

The semicon tool has a unique blade shape which preserves the smooth surface on the XLPE insulation of medium voltage cables typically distributing electrical power at 11kV and 33kV voltages – the Ripley US02 tool eliminates the need for deburring or additional surface finishing of the cable insulation. Its optimal stability design securely supports cables with diameters from 18 mm to 60 mm throughout the shaving operation of the cable preparation process, prior to jointing or terminating medium voltage cables.

The US02 tool provides an exceptionally smooth finish and does not require lubricating grease as the integral wheels provide a sustained motion during the cable preparation process – the US02 has four settings on it that adjust the pitch as it winds down the cable and a stop that enables the jointer to provide a square cut to finish off. The settings are 0.5mm, 1mm, 1.5mm and 2mm.

Thorne & Derrick are now Official Distributors for the Vicera range of Cable Jointing Stands – the introduction of this new product range is an excellent extension to our core ranges of Cable Jointing, Pulling Equipment & Preparation Tooling and we look forward to further supporting efficient, easier and more reliable power cable installations.

Thorne & Derrick distribute the most extensive range of MV HV Medium & High Voltage Cable Joints, Terminations & Connectors from manufacturers including 3M, Prysmian, Nexans Euromold, Elastimold, Pfisterer CONNEX & SEANEX. Heat shrink, cold shrink, push-on and slip-over cable accessories enable the jointing, terminating and connection of 11kV-33kV and 66kV-132kV cables to oil, air or gas insulated switchgear, transformers, motors and overhead lines distributing electricity at medium/high voltages.

T&D hold large stocks of 11kV 33kV 66kV Joints & Terminations suitable for XLPE, PILC and EPR cables, in both heat shrink and Cold Shrink technologies, to service the medium/high voltage power cable accessory requirements of UK and international customers.

Ripley US02-7000 Semicon Shaver & Stripping Tools

Here Peter Hardman (Jointer – LV HV Cables) is shown expertly using the US02-7000 Tool manufactured by Ripley Tools to remove the bonded semi-conductor screen from Medium Voltage Power Cables – the cable standard type is N2XS(F)2Y (12/20 (24)kV) typically used for MV Power Distribution in several industrial sectors including data-centres.

When correctly selected and used for their intended application, specialised Cable Preparation Tools can and do prevent much of the human error identified in the field as a cause of cable joint or termination failure – this can allow MV HV cable systems to last well beyond the 30 year limit that many consider to be a cables expected life cycle.

Invest in the correct tools, get trained in their use and use them.

NEW | Cable Semi-Con Scoring Tools for SCS Series | Ripley Tools

Semi-con Scoring Tools

SCS Series By Ripley Tools

Ripley Tools has launched three new tools for safe and efficient cable semi-con scoring, part of its SCS Series. Ripley SCS is a general purpose semi-con scoring tool for most medium voltage cable constructions and is equipped with a standard cable guide. The adjustable semi-con scoring tool removes easy strip type semi-con screens from HV power cables, this includes 11kV and 33kV power cables.

Between them, the new cable jointing tools are capable of precisely scoring medium-voltage cables from 0.31′′ to 2.96′′ (8 to 75mm), eliminating the need for traditional, higher-risk blades making them perfect for high voltage power cable preparation prior to jointing and terminating and easily mounts on the cable.

 See the full range of Cable Jointing Tools distributed by T&D, including Cable Tools For Underground Primary Distribution Cables and High Voltage Cable Jointing Tools  

The first Jointing Tool in the series is the compact and adjustable SCS semi-con scoring tool, which precisely scores the semi-con to ease its removal while protecting the underlying insulation. The SCS works on medium voltage 5kV to 35kV cables with semi-con diameters of 0.31′′ – 2.00′′ (8 to 51mm) and is able to perform longitudinal, spiral and calibrated square cuts.

Ripley SCS Adjustable Cable Semi-Con Scoring Tool (Compact & User Friendly)

It’s the SCS tool’s micro-adjustable blade depth that ensures accuracy so cable insulation is not damaged and the innovative slide tray keeps the cable square to the cutting head for precision.

The UtilityTool SCS’s design eases operation for cable engineers. It opens and snaps on the cable quickly and simply. Plus, it can work in a small envelope of space, especially on large cable sizes and covers the range of both the BP1A and BP2A.

For highly bowed or curved cables, the SCS V2 has been created to give engineers enhanced control. Its narrow cable guide is suitable for sheathed and jacketed 3 phase assemblies.

Completing the trio is the SCS Max, an extended version of the SCS to make precision cuts on large diameter power cables with strippable semi-con. The tool is designed for cables with a diameter of 1.77′′ to 2.96′′ (45 to 75mm) and it can operate within a 4′′ (101.6 mm) envelope on larger cables.

“All three tools in the SCS Series overcome the mechanical limitations of their counterparts in the market and replace the need for the use of basic, high-risk knives, thanks to the design and engineering capabilities of the Ripley team,” said Brian Bourgoin, Director of Engineering at Ripley Tools.
