OK Industries, the worldwide leader in wire wrapping products, offers a
complete range of manual, electric and battery powered tools, bits & sleeves
and other accessories. For more information, please visit our web site at

www.okindustries.com.

The PTX Series wire wrapping and unwrapping tools have been developed to
address ergonomic requirements and boost operator efficiency. With worker
safety in mind, we consulted a certified ergonomist and added features
including the lightweight, well-balanced construction, a dual-finger short-throw
trigger, and a long handle to mitigate pressure on the palm. These features
result in an industry-leading design from a comfort and safety standpoint. The
recessed wrap/unwrap switch is easy to access at the rear face of
the housing, and is protected from impact if the tool
is dropped. The rugged housing encases
a high-torque planetary gear drive
that can wrap or unwrap 18 to 30
AWG (1.0 to .25mm) wire, and
is compatible with the full range
of industry standard bits and
sleeves. The PTX Series is
available in 115 volt and 230V volt
electric versions, as well as a
battery version that is
powered by a long-life 3.6V
NiMH cell and incorporates
an LED indicator for low

y voltage. Backfor

batter

ce is
an available option, to help
prevent overwrapping caused by
excessive for

ce applied by the
operator; batteries and battery
chargers are sold individually.

The product range includes both battery and electric powered tools, as well as
proprietary batteries and a battery charger. Tool selection is generally determined by
user preference, and includes considerations such as availability of electrical power
outlets and the convenience of cordless operation. The battery powered version (model
# PTX) employs one battery (model # PTX-B) which requires a charger (PTX-BC1, PTX­BC2 or PTX-BC2-UK); these are sold separately, but can also be purchased with the tool
in a kit (see models and descriptions above).

All of the tools in the PTX Series have reversible motors, allowing the user
to use the tools to unwrap a wire wrapped termination. (NOTE: unwrapping requires a
separate bit and sleeve or a dedicated manual unwrapping tool; DO NOT attempt to unwrap
with a bit and sleeve that is used for wrapping, this will damage the bit and sleeve and is
detrimental to the reliability of the connection). The Backforce option, available only in the PTX­48BF (48V), PTX-1BF (115V) and the PTX-2BF and PTX-2BF-UK (230V) electric power
is a feature that helps to prevent overwrapping. A spring that is mounted internally in the
collet/shaft assembly of the tool helps to absorb pressure that an untrained operator may apply
while wrapping (see page 12 for an illustration of an over

The PTX Series power tools require no assembly and are ready for use out of the
box. The battery powered version (model # PTX) requires an initial charge of the
battery of at least 8 hours. The LED will illuminate to indicate that the battery is
present in the charger. The LED remains lit as long as the battery is present, even
after full charging, but there is no danger in leaving the battery in the charger

for longer than eight hours. Simply plug the charger (115V

model # PTX-BC1 or 230V model # PTX-BC2 or PTX-BC2-UK)

into a power outlet and place the

battery (model # PTX-B) in the charger.

After approximately 500-750 uses,

the battery should be disposed of

and replaced.

When the battery is not mounted in the tool or charger, it is important to ensure
that the terminals are not shorted by any metal or other conductive object. The
battery could otherwise short circuit, potentially causing fire, burns or battery
damage. The PTX-B is an environmentally friendly NiMH battery which can be
disposed of along with normal refuse.

CAUTION!

Do not attempt to use any other manufacturer’s battery with the PTX, as it will not
perform properly and can damage the tool. Always use model # PTX-B batteries,
employing the model # PTX-BC1, PTX-BC2 or PTX-BC2-UK battery charger, both
manufactured by OK Industries.

Do not use the battery charger with a damaged cord or plug, or in wet or damp or
any outdoor environments, or in the vicinity of sinks or basins or other water
sources. Do not disassemble charger, there are no consumer serviceable parts
inside.

When the battery is charged, remove it from the charger, insert it into the
handle of the PTX tool and rotate the end cap of the battery 90 degrees in the
counterclockwise direction to engage the cap (see below);
then pull back slightly to lock it into the handle of the
tool. To remove battery from tool, press inward
on battery end cap, rotate battery

When the battery begins to lose its charge (at about 3.3V), the red LED indicator
located on the top surface of the tool will begin to glow. At this point,
depending on the application, the battery should still contain enough charge for
several hundred additional wrapping or unwrapping operations.

Wire wrapping technology, when properly used, provides an interconnection
that is superior in reliability than one made using alternative methods, yet is
easily removed if necessary. It is a process by which a bare end of a wire is
wrapped in a tight helix around a metal terminal. This requires the use of a
proper bit and sleeve in conjunction with the power tool. The selection of the
bit and sleeve should follow the process outlined below:

BIT & SLEEVE SELECTION PROCESS:

1. Determine wire gauge: 18 to 30 AWG

2. Determine terminal post dimensions:

a) Telecom: usually .045” X .045” or .030” X .060”
b) Other: usually .025” X .025”

3. Decide on regular vs. modified wrap:

a) Telecom: usually regular wrap, 22-26 AWG wire
b) Electronics: usually modified wrap, 26-30 AWG wire

4. Once bit is identified, sleeve is listed alongside bit part number in

the Bit & Sleeve Chart (see page 9 -10)

BIT & SLEEVE INSTALLATION:

1. Loosen collet nut by rotating it in the clockwise direction (see below).

2. Insert the bit into the chuck, and rotate the bit while pushing it into

the chuck, until the bit is seated in the drive mechanism. At this point,
the smaller of the two holes in the face of the bit will be at the
twelve o’clock position.

3. Place the sleeve over the bit and slide the sleeve into the collet. Rotate the

sleeve as you are sliding it into the chuck until the sleeve has engaged with
the locating pin (internal to the collet); the sleeve will then slide further in
and, when fully seated, will be such that the spouted portion of the sleeve
end is in the twelve o’clock position.

Unwrapping and backforce are special features for wire wrapping, and are
available with the PTX Series. All models of the tool, whether battery or electric
powered, have the unwrapping feature built in; the backforce feature is optional,
and is found in models PTX-1BF, PTX-2BF, PTX-2BF-UK and PTX-48BF.

USING THE UNWRAPPING FEA

TURE:

Install unwrapping bit/sleeve in the collet. Flip the switch on the rear face of the
tool into the down position, which reverses the motor direction to change from
‘wrap’ to ‘unwrap.’ Place the unwrapping bit/sleeve over the terminal so that
the hook-shaped portion of the unwrapping bit is positioned to engage the top
end of the wire coil that is to be unwrapped. Squeeze the trigger of the tool
and hold it stationary, allowing the bit to do the work of unraveling the wire coil.
Be sure to remove all of the unwrapped wire from the bit and the work area prior
to proceeding to additional unwrap operations.

CAUTION!

Unwrapping requires a special bit and sleeve or a dedicated manual
unwrapping tool; DO NOT attempt to unwrap with a bit and sleeve that is used
for wrapping only, this will damage the bit and sleeve and is detrimental to the
reliability of the connection.

7

USING THE BACKFORCE FEATURE:

‘Backforce’ is a feature that compensates for the unnecessary application of downward
pressure on the tool during wire wrapping. A wire wrapping tool will perform the
wrapping function properly without any downward pressure applied, in fact, such
pressure results in a tendency to ‘overwrap’ (refer to Section entitled Wire Wrapping
Technology for further details). A tool with the backforce option contains a spring
mechanism to absorb downward pressure that an unskilled operator might apply.

ire Wrapping Technology

W

Wire wrapping is a method of making a wire connection by coiling the bare wire around the sharp
corners of a terminal under mechanical tension. The technology was developed as an alternative to
soldering, which presents various safety and reliability problems in many applications. A principal
advantage of wire wrapping is that it provides a high-reliability connection that is also easily
removed to correct or modify a wiring layout.

Wire wrapping requires a rotating tool, called a bit. The bit has a large central hole in the face for
slipping the tool over the terminal, and it marks the point around which the bit rotates. The top of
the bit has a slot which accepts the wire to be wrapped. The front or face of the bit is shaped to
apply the proper tension to the wire during the wrap. This
contour also guides the wire into a helix that is tightly
spaced and uniform. During use, the bit is housed in a
metal tube called a sleeve. The sleeve retains the bit in the
collet of a wire-wrapping tool, which drives the bit as it
spins. It also keeps the wire in the slot during the wrapping
process and protects the worker from the rotating bit.

Wire wrapping subjects the wire to tremendous tension
and compression forces, typically 100,000 PSI at the
terminal’s edge. The wrapping action causes the oxide layer on both wire and terminal to be
crushed or sheared, resulting in a clean, oxide-free metal-to-metal contact. The number of turns is a
function of the length of uninsulated wire. Pre-stripped wire saves time and improves reliability, since
there is a specified minimum number of’ turns required for each particular wire size. These relate
directly to electrical conductivity and mechanical strength. However, if a manufacturing specification
requires a wrap with more turns, wire with correspondingly longer lengths of bare wire or further
hand stripping may be required.

There are two types of wire-wrapped connections: regular and modified. In a “regular” connection,
only bare (uninsulated) wire is wrapped around the terminal. A “modified” wrap, which requires a
modified bit, coils about 1.5 turns of insulated wire around the terminal in addition to the bare wire.
This method greatly improves a connection’s mechanical stability, such as resistance to vibration, in
cases where the wire diameter is small and its mechanical strength is low. The most important
element to consider when choosing either wrap method, then, is the size wire being used. A
standard wrap is generally used for 24 AWG and larger diameter wires; a modified wrap is
sometimes used for 26 AWG and smaller wires, and is used almost exclusively for 28 to 30 AWG
wires.

The four most common wire wrapping mistakes are (a) pressing too hard, which can lead to

wrapping; (b) not pushing the stripped end of the wir

OK Industries, le leader mondial des outils de câblage par fil enroulé (wire wrapping), offre une
gamme complète d'outils manuels, électriques et sur batterie, de douilles et guide-fil et autres
accessoires. Pour plus d'informations, visitez notre site Web: www.okindustries.com.

La série d'outils de câblage et de décâblage à fil enroulé PTX a été développée pour répondre aux
demandes d'ergonomie et augmenter l'efficacité de l'opérateur. Ayant la sécurité du travailleur à
l'esprit, nous avons consulté un ergonomiste certifié et ajouté des caractéristiques comme une
construction légère et bien équilibrée, un déclencheur à faible course à deux doigts et une grande
poignée pour répartir la pression dans la paume. Ces caractéristiques conduisent à une conception
leader de l'industrie du point de vue du confort et de la sécurité. L'interrupteur
d'enroulement/déroulement en retrait est facile à manipuler en face arrière du boîtier et
est protégé contre les impacts si l'outil tombe. Le boîtier robuste
comporte une boîte de vitesse à engrenages
planétaires qui peut enrouler ou dérouler du
fil de diamètre 1,0 mm à 0,25 mm (18 à
30 AWG), et est compatible avec la
gamme complète de douilles et guide-fil
standards de l'industrie. La série PTX est
disponible en versions électriques 115
volts et 230 volts ainsi que sur batterie
longue durée NiMH 3,6 V et intègre un
indicateur DEL de tension de batterie
faible. Une limitation de force est
disponible en option pour éviter un
enroulement excessif causé par une
force excessive appliquée par
l'opérateur. Les batteries et les chargeurs
de batteries sont vendus séparément.

La gamme de produits comporte des outils alimentés sur batterie et sur secteur, ainsi que
des batteries et un chargeur de batteries spécifiques. Le choix des outils est
généralement déterminé par la préférence de l'utilisateur et prend en compte des
éléments comme la disponibilité de prises de courant et la facilité du fonctionnement sur
batterie. La version alimentée sur batterie (modèle PTX) utilise une batterie (modèle PTX­B) et nécessite un chargeur de batterie (PTX-BC1 ou PTX-BC2) qui sont vendus
séparément mais qui peuvent aussi être achetés avec l'outil sous forme de kit (voir
modèles et descriptions plus haut).

Tous les outils de la série PTX ont des moteurs réversibles, permettant à l'utilisateur de
démonter une connexion enroulée. (Note : ce démontage nécessite une douille et un
guide-fil séparés ou un outils manuel spécial de déroulement. NE PAS essayer de
déconnecter avec une douille et un guide-fil qui sont utilisés pour l'enroulement, ceci
pourrait endommager la douille et le guide-fil et compromettre la fiabilité de la
connexion. L'option de limitation de force (Backforce) disponible uniquement sur les
outils sur secteur PTX-1BF (115 V) et PTX-2BF (230 V), est une fonction qui per
