Crimping machine selection
1.1.
Selection of the crimping machine:
The crimping machine is the most important machine you will need when assembling GOMAX
QUADRA hoses DN2, DN4, DN6. For this reason it is very important that the selection of this equipment
is made carefully, taking into account every characteristic of the parts that will be assembled and the
performance of the finished product.
For the assembling of the GOMAX QUADRA hoses DN2, DN4, DN6 with the GOMAX Quadra fitting
and ferrules there are many different hydraulic crimping machines available on the market; some
manufacturers and models of suitable hydraulic crimping machines are listed below.
•
UNIFLEX
– HYDRAULIC GmbH, model HM200;
•
FINN POWER, model P20;
•
O+P S.r.l, model TUBOMATIC H47/E EL.
This is just a short list of the suitable crimping machines that can be found on the market.
The two main characteristics that are fundamental to obtain a perfect crimping result on
GOMAX QUADRA assemblies are:
•
the selected crimping machine SHOULD have 8 crimping dies;
•
the selected crimping machine SHOULD have a control for the position of the
dies: this control can be digital with a display for the crimping data or a simpler
electro mechanical vernier dial for setting the final position of the dies during the
crimping stroke.
