Orlando, FL — Daniels Manufacturing Corporation® announces the full qualification of its WA23B (M22520/23-01), engineered with speed and precision for high-production military, defense, and commercial applications. The WA23B is a faster, mil-spec qualified alternative to WA23 and Rennsteig Pico Series 400 crimp tools.
The AS22520/23 qualification validates compliance with military-grade performance criteria while delivering twice the speed of the WA23 and improved ergonomics. Engineered to support high-mix, high-volume production facilities, the tool crimps 8 – 4/0 AWG machined contacts, uninsulated terminals, and uninsulated splices. In addition, the WA23B simplifies integration with backwards compatibility, a dedicated gaging state, and single‑power‑source operation.
The WA23B supports mission‑critical wire harness applications across ships, ground vehicles, aerospace platforms, and more. WA23B users see instant improvements in workflow efficiency while upholding quality standards. “[The WA23-B] has allowed us to greatly increase throughput due to its speed and reliability. We are currently […] replacing all of our crimpers with the new WA23B,” adds Brett G., Manufacturing Engineer at Southwire Company, LLC.
