Overview

The ABB ERG4007 Comfort Crimp® compression tool is a dedicated hand tool engineered for crimping Sta-Kon® insulated RD and RE tubular terminals on copper wire sizes 8-6 AWG. This tool ensures consistent, high-quality crimps by applying uniform pressure, reducing the risk of loose connections or insulation damage. The ergonomic design features overmolded soft grips and a Shure Stake® release lever, minimizing operator fatigue during extended use in assembly lines or maintenance environments. The ERG4007 includes a Crimp Assist™ foot for precise positioning and a non-insulating handle for safety. The tool is compatible with RD (red nest, 8 AWG) and RE (blue nest, 6 AWG) terminals only. Its compact form factor allows use in tight spaces, while the durable construction supports long-term reliability in demanding industrial conditions. The tool is designed for wiring harness assembly, control panel fabrication, and field service work where insulated terminals require precise crimping.

How to Perform Calibration and Gaging Verification on the ERG4007 Compression Tool

This guide details the steps for verifying the calibration and gaging of your ERG4007 Comfort Crimp® Compression Tool with Shure Stake® Mechanism.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

SAE No. 20 motor oil, Gage pins

  1. Perform Visual Inspection

    Visually inspect the tool for cracks, sharp edges, or any other imperfections that may affect performance. Ensure the nest area is free of burrs, dents, or scratches.

  2. Prepare the Tool for Gaging

    Ensure all pins, pivot points, and bearing surfaces are protected with a thin coat of SAE No. 20 motor oil. Do not oil excessively. Wipe the die nest clean before gaging.

  3. Perform Gaging Procedure

    Swing the locator away from the nests. Close the handles until the SHURE STAKE® mechanism just trips. Using gage pins, ensure that each nest meets the gaging requirements as specified in the relevant table for your ERG4007 model.

  4. Verify SHURE STAKE® Mechanism Release Force

    Squeeze the handles until the jaws are fully closed but before the SHURE STAKE® mechanism releases. Apply force gradually at 1-1/2 inches from the end of the handles until the SHURE STAKE® mechanism releases. The force required should be a minimum of 27 lbs and a maximum of 37 lbs.
