3.3 Forming process
There is one type of forming:
•
Forming to a defined diameter
Forming to a defined diameter
This is the standard process for forming to produce hydraulic hoses.
The crimping tool closes until it reaches a pre-set diameter, regar-
dless of the required forming force. The required forming force may
be up to the machine's maximum capacity.
WARNING!
Risk of injuries!
In particular non-metal workpieces may by overstressed by the
forming process so that this may result in a sudden failure. Chips
or seriously accelerated workpiece parts impose a high risk po-
tential for operators, individuals and objects, even outside the
working area!
•
Relevant workpieces should only be formed using specific
safeguards.
ATTENTION!
Risk of damage to machinery!
The machine lifetime is reduced with a high permanent load,
while wear increases disproportionately. Forming machines for
servicing are not intended for permanent operation and are not
suitable for series production.
•
Do not perform more than 200 crimping actions per day.
