CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
This crimp machine has a dial indicator to visually show when the operator needs to stop hydraulic flow to the head. It is advisable
that you get used to the dial indicator before calibrating. This is usually done by crimping the same specification assembly many
times and note the difference in COD with each assembly. The calibration process is trial and error, with the goal of being confident
that you can repeatedly crimp to 1.000 +/- .003” using the dial indicator.
