Cable tie guns for optimal tensioning and smooth cutting of cable ties

Cable tie guns are not all the same – and for good reason. While some cable tie processing tools are suitable for areas that are difficult to access, other cable tie guns must function without electricity when used in mobile applications. There are also the durability and efficiency requirements of modern series production to consider: Cable tie tools must always be reliable and convenient, even during long-term use.

That’s why HellermannTyton offers a comprehensive range of cable processing tools, including manual and pneumatic cable tie guns plus unique automatic cable bundling tools.

Cable tie guns are the ideal solution for optimum tensioning and cutting of cable ties flush to the cable tie head. They eliminate the sharp snags that conventional wire cutters leave behind. Cable tie guns also help accelerate bundling processes and professionalise the tying of cable ties made from various materials and sizes.

See in this video how to cut cable ties safely and without sharp edges using a professional cable tie gun. The EVO7 cable tie gun featured is one of the most lightweight yet robust manual cable tie enough for industrial processing of cable ties:
 

Depending on the application the CPK hybrid can either be used with the corded Power pack or cordless with CAS battery that can be integrated into the handle. Perfect when the nearest power outlet is further away, e.g. in solar parks.

This automatic cable tie gun is able to stand up – so you can easily place it onto the workbench. Bundling, threading, tensioning and cutting are done at the touch of a button – with constant quality. This automatic bundling tool makes faster and more effective processing possible.

The ProCut cable tie gun combines the benefits of manual and powered tools offering flexibility and saving time as well as decreasing worker strain. It is HellermannTyton’s first battery-operated hand tool. The ProCut cable tie gun tensions and cuts cable ties from T50s to T250s. It is ideal for use in confined spaces as it not only is operated cordless but also has two triggers: a one-touch electronic trigger and a rear-mounted second trigger.

Other key features are:

• 16 tension settings for precise results
• Auto-calibration after every cycle for consistent performance
• Ergonomic, soft-grip handle and low-force trigger to reduce hand strain
• Larger cable ties up to 13.5mm in width and can be secured on an upper hook with a balancer

Powered by a replaceable CAS battery, developed in partnership with Metabo, this cable tie gun delivers up to 2000 cuts per charge, ensuring long-lasting efficiency and reliability. The fast-charging Li-Ion batteries are compatible with over 400 machines in the 18 V class, including the CPK hybrid.

With its lightweight, ergonomic design, the MK9SST cable tie gun is an ideal tool for applying the MBT series stainless steel cable ties. Although it is used for applying stainless steel cable ties, the MK9SST cable tie gun enables work to be carried out without operator fatigue.

For easier handling the tensioning is fully adjustable by means of a quick two level control with an additional fine setting. This feature means that damage to the bundled materials is easily avoided. The cable ties are automatically cut off flush with the head when the preset tensioning level has been reached.

With its ergonomic design, the EVO KR cable tie gun allows for effortless application of vibration-resistant KR cable ties, thereby reducing operator fatigue. The tool – which is made in Germany – incorporates all the processing advantages of our proven range of EVO cable tie tools and comes with plenty of other features:

• One-handed operation: tension, secure, lock and cut the ties with only two steps and using only one hand
• Sideways insertion: makes it easier and faster to insert the ties – it is based on the trusted EVO tool design
• Tension adjustment: the cable tie can be tightened according to specific tension requirements
• Calibration: specified tension forces can be preset in the tool – the tension will always be consistent and cables cannot be damaged
• EVO-Series-Design: The durable yet lightweight housing ensures even more reliability – it withstands chemicals and drop tests in the toughest environments

Your advantages: 

• Especially robust metal housing
• For use with cable ties up to a width of 4.8 mm
• Seamless tension adjustment
• High bundling speed
• Flush cutting

It is made of a lightweight ergonomic plastic housing of glass-fibre reinforced polyamide. That’s why it is easy to operate with one hand.

One reason why the bundled goods remain unharmed are the precisely adjusted blades.

However, to ensure that only the cable tie is cut and not cable sets, the matching nosepiece is also required depending on the zip tie width and thickness.

 

For this reason, our zip tie cutter is available with three different nosepieces:

All three nosepieces are securely attached to the EVO cut and can be easily changed using a simple push system.

A light press on "Push" releases the locking mechanism and the front cap can be pulled off. The front nosepiece can be put back on just as easily.

You would like to get to know the EVO cut even better? Then take a look at our eLearning now. Here you will learn more about the tool and its benefits in an interactive and vivid way. See for yourself, completely free of charge and with just one click.

Our in-house team of developers can also implement individual cable tie tool requirements for you – from the smallest cable tie guns to automatic bundling systems.

In collaboration with you, we can make specific adjustments or develop completely new cable tie bundling tools. At our site in Tornesch, Germany, HellermannTyton technicians manually install and service some 500 parts per automatic cable tie gun.

Fitters and installers can rely on cable tie processing tools from HellermannTyton to be of the highest quality and effectiveness.
 

TLC technology stands for Tension/Lock/Cut. This bit of technology makes all the difference in the EVO7 and EVO9 cable tie guns.

1. Tension
The cable tie is tensioned to the preselected tensile force.

2. Lock
Once the selected tensile force is reached, the cable tie gun automatically clamps the cable tie strap. The manual force usually required to keep the cable tie tensioned is no longer required.

3. Cut
All the user has to do is pull the cable tie gun lever back gently. Very little force is required for the flush, smooth cut.

Cable tie guns are often used when cable ties are processed in large quantities. The aim is to make it easier to tie large quantities of cable ties quickly and cut off the excess strap flush to the tie head. Cable tie guns also help tension and cut cable ties in hard-to-reach spaces, or at awkward angles, using one hand.
