To solve those problems, jigs are available which are designed to securely hold the fastener while providing a guide-channel for a drill bit (with either a hand drill or a press) so that the technician can easily and directly apply force from the drill to the fastener without having it slip off or breaking the bit. Proprietary methods Safe-T-Cable is an alternative to safety wire. Safe-T-Cable is defined as a group of strands right-hand helically twisted without a core. This eliminates the need for twisting during installation, as is required with safety wire. Several companies manufacture safety cable, and it is becoming an industry standard due to easier control of critical inputs and reduced installation time. Installation and quality requirements of Safe-T-Cable are governed by SAE AS4536. The system works by providing pre-cut lengths of safety wire that have a large cap on one end. The cable is threaded through a hole on the fastener to be secured, which is large enough to accommodate the wire but too small for the cap on the other end of the cable to pass through it. After the other end of the wire is passed through the anchor point, the technician takes an extra ferrule and the special tool that is available from Daniels and crimps the ferrule onto that end of the wire. In the same motion, the ferrule is crimped and the remaining cable is cut. Again, the end cap is too large to pass through the hole that the wire passed through, and thus the cable is secured. In addition to installing 3X quicker than safety wire, Safe-T-Cable also produces a stronger and safer result. The user-friendly tooling guarantees a consistent installation each time it is used. Unlike safety wire, Safe-T-Cable installations have no sharp edges, which greatly reduces the risk of injury. Safe-T-Cable also reduces repetitive motion injuries and FOD. The installation and inspection of Safe-T-Cable is simple, easy to train, and rework is virtually eliminated. Operation Overview 1. Thread A cable assembly is threaded through the fasteners in a direction which will exert a positive or neutral pull when tension is applied 2. Insert The ferrule is threaded on the cable and the cable is inserted through the nose of the tool 3. Tension Correct tension is applied with the tool 4. Crimp and Cut The ferrule is crimped and the cable is cut flush with the end
