Band-Master ATS® EMI/RFI Cable Shield Termination System

The Advanced Band Termination System for Mission-Critical Interconnect Cable Shielding

Series 600Series 601

Band-Master ATS® provides quick, easy, cost-effective and highly-reliable termination of braided metallic shielding or fabric braid to connectors and backshells. The calibrated tooling applies a constant 360° force to both individual and overall wire shields and meets the toughest aerospace standards. New reduced-length standard and micro bands eliminate waste on small-diameter termination assemblies. New nano band technology enables ultra-low-profile banding shield termination of nano miniature connectors and small form-factor banding backshells — metal and composite. All Band-Master ATS® termination tools are now equipped with built-in calibration counters for better quality assurance and control of banding operations.

The Band-Master ATS® Advanced Cable Shield Termination System is the overwhelming favorite throughout the military aerospace and defense industries, providing excellent static loading and fatigue stress, and corrosion resistance in electrical wire interconnect systems.

Glenair PALS Approved Interconnect Technologies reduce assembly process-time and skilled labor requirements in EWIS applications.

Industry Advisory RE: Shield Termination Bands and Tools

Precision bands and tools are exactingly dimensioned and calibrated for repeatable, reliable performance. But like many such equipment pairings, the products ONLY deliver 100% compatibility when used in tandem. The proliferation of counterfeit band straps, sold with Glenair part numbers but manufactured offshore is a troubling industry development. Tie-Dex® II banding tools supplied by Glenair will not function properly with any other make of band than those supplied by Glenair. Likewise, Glenair Band-Master ATS® bands are not engineered to work in any tool other than the hand-operated and bench-mount series manufactured by Band-IT® IDEX.

To that end, this industry advisory is intended as formal notification that the improper mixing of non-compatible band straps and tooling will void any warranty offered by Glenair, and in our experience, will absolutely lead to tool damage and sub-standard shield terminations.

Should you have any question about this notification, please do not hesitate to contact Glenair at bandittools@glenair.com.

Engineering Bulletin for Notification of Design Changes in 600-058 and 600-061 Tools

This letter serves as a formal notification that effective July 20, 2021, Glenair, Inc. will no longer be selling the originally supplied version of our 600-058 Tie-Dex II band tools. The 600-058 number will represent a tool built on the same recognizable platform with a redesigned more durable and consistent cutoff mechanism which we refer to as our "one piece blade" system.

Calibration Tools for Manual Banding Tools

Calibration Keys and Tension Gauges

The 601-205 Calibration Key is designed for use with 600-058, 600-061, 601-211 and 601-212 manual banding tools. Material is black anodized aluminum alloy. One full turn clockwise will advance the tension range approximately 1.0 - 2.5 lbs, a counter-clockwise turn will decrease tension by the same amount.
The 601-211 (M81306/1C) and 601-212 (M81306/1D) Tension Gauge is used to check and calibrate the manual tool to values noted on calibration sticker. Constructed of hardened steel.
