Lightweight tool for crimping a flange cover

摘要

A crimping assembly roll crimps a cover part over an underlying structure. The crimping assembly includes a base. A first roller extends out from the base and is rotatable with respect thereto. A second roller extends out of the base and is rotatable with respect thereto. In addition, the second roller is movable axially with respect to the first roller. A transmission is operatively connected to the first roller and the second roller such that the first and second rollers roll at the same speed. The crimping assembly also includes a pneumatic motor connected to the transmission to selectively drive the transmission and roll the first and second rollers as the first and second rollers roll over the cover part to force the cover part into engagement with the underlying structure.
