PDU Cables uses an electric hydraulic pump that generates 10,000 psi of pressure to run our crimping tool to guarantee a secure crimp on each lug to eliminate the chance of the crimp coming loose over time. We also utilize a custom designed jig that allows us to consistently and uniformly apply a double crimp on four sides of each lug, one each equally spaced around the diameter of the lug at the 3, 6, 9 and 12 o'clock positions. A uniform process and the use of specialized tools allow us to make a quality grounding cable each and every time. That way our 100th crimped lug of the day is as solid and secure as the first; something that can't always be said of ground bonding cables being made in the field.
