Crimping of the ferrules
Make sure that the insert is completely inserted into the hose by positioning it in line with the end of
the hose. Pay attention not to move the components already fitted and slide the ferrule over the hose
towards the insert positioning in line with the insert.
After having adequately set the crimping machine parameters, start crimping the ferrule making sure
that the whole length is being crimped by the dies
4.1. Setting the crimping machine:
Depending on the crimping machine that is used, referring to the User Manual provided by the
manufacturer of the crimping machine, set it in the correct way in order to achieve the final crimping
diameter of the ferrules.
Refer to table 1 of this procedure to select the correct set of dies and the correct crimping diameter.
4.2. Crimping:
Assembling GOMAX QUADRA hoses requires crimping the hose in one step. This is to allow a uniform
deformation of the ferrule.
After having adequately set the crimping machine parameters (4a), start crimping the ferrule making
sure that the whole length is being crimped by the dies.
Take particular care that during the crimping stroke of the machine the components of the assembly
don’t move into an incorrect position.
Let the machine reach the final position that you have previously set using the machine control device
and only when you are sure that the machine has completed the crimping stroke, open the dies and
remove the assembled end of the hose.
Slide the Ferrule over the hose towards the insert positioning.
