New MSI HYBRID Head Technology

MSI is proud to introduce our next generation HYBRID crimp technology, which combines two types of MSI’s patented crimp head technology to produce a new robust high force solution. This new crimping technology takes the robustness of the classic pivot head design and the diameter range capabilities of the CAM design and combines them to produce an improved crimping solution.

The design utilizes rear bearing activation, which provides lower bearing loads at the activation point combined with a mechanical advantage that results in reduced mechanical compliance and improved diameter repeatability. The HYBRID crimp head is designed to fit on new and existing MSI machine bases with minimal or no modifications required.
