1. A crimping machine system comprising:
a set of jaws having at least four jaws, the set of jaws being placed in a circular array, defining a central opening formed by the set of jaws and intended for a work piece to be crimped, wherein said set of jaws is adapted to move radially with respect to the opening and a central axis defined by the set of jaws, a flange structure adapted to move axially with respect to said set of jaws in a direction parallel with said central axis, a first power transmitting member equipped with inclined guide surfaces and placed between the set of jaws and the flange structure, wherein when the flange structure moves axially with respect to said set of jaws and in the direction parallel with the central axis, said first power transmitting member is adapted to force the set of jaws to move radially with respect to the opening and towards a center of the opening and the central axis, a circular structure adapted to rotate around said flange structure and said central axis, and a second power transmitting member equipped with helical guide surfaces and placed between the circular structure and the flange structure, wherein when the circular structure rotates around the flange structure and the central axis, said second power transmitting member is adapted to force the flange structure to move axially with respect to said set of jaws in the direction parallel with the central axis. |
