Volant RTF™ tools are designed for both crimping and swaging operations. These tools use a hydraulic actuated piston and collet system to induce a radial compressive load that reduces the diameter of tubular product to create either a crimp or an end swage. Collet sets are designed for optimal performance and are specific to the size and application.
