Service Hose Crimper

RELEASE
•
Select the correct die set for the combination of hose and fitting being
crimped. Consult the hose and fitting manufacturer’s specifications
for the correct die to use and final crimp diameter required.
•
To insert the dies, open the master dies to the fully open position,
and insert each die finger individually making certain that the die size
(number stamped on the die) is correct. The die should click into
place with the ball detent when it is properly positioned.
•
The final crimp diameter is the closed diameter of the die stamped
on the face of the die plus the number shown on the micrometer. See
micrometer setting example below.
Micrometer Setting Example
Each 100 on the metric Micrometer represents 1 mm above
the closed diameter of the die set. For example, with a 10mm
die installed and the Micrometer set at 250, the finished crimp
diameter would be 12.5 mm. (10mm + 2.5mm)
•
Insert the hose and fitting in the crimper head and press and hold
the green
Start/Close
button or press and hold the
Foot Switch
.
When the crimper reaches the correct diameter, the crimper will shut
off. When possible, the hose fitting should be centered axially in the
die set to assure a uniform crimp with minimum taper.
•
When the
Hold/Release
valve is in the
Hold
position, the crimper
can be jogged into position to allow for more accurate positioning of
the fitting in the die set. Turn the
Hold/Release
valve to the
Release
position to allow the dies to retract.
•
Measure the finished crimp diameter to be certain that it is within
manufacturer’s specifications. If the finished diameter is not within
specifications, see calibration instructions.
Note: Due to tolerance variations in hose and fitting
combinations, some “offset” may be required for specific
combinations of hose and fittings. This does not mean that
the crimper is out of calibration.
