The PC150H Crimper is calibrated at factory using the correct hose, fitting, and die
set outlined in the Continental ContiTech Crimp Specifications Manual.
Note:
All settings are approximate, for minor adjustment adjust the dial as needed.
Due to variations in hose and fitting tolerances, some “offset” may required to
achieve the correct crimp diameter for specific hose and fitting combinations across
the range of hose and fittings being crimped. If crimp diameters are consistently too
large or consistently too small, the crimper should be recalibrated.
Step 1.
Select the correct hose, fitting, and die set.
Note:
Refer to the Continental ContiTech Crimp Specifications Manual.
Note:
While the crimper can be calibrated using any recommended hose and fitting
combination, using a hose and fitting combination close to the size most frequently
crimped will minimize the offset required for other sizes and combinations of hose
and fittings.
Step 2.
Set the dial micrometer to the setting as shown in the most current Con
-
tinental ContiTech Crimp Specifications Manual for the combination of hose and
fitting being crimped.
Step 3.
Check the crimp diameter of the finished assembly with calipers or microm
-
eters, to be certain that it is within the specifications as outlined in the Continental
ContiTech Crimp Specification Manual.
Note:
If the above conditions are not met, the crimper requires recalibration.
• If necessary, the crimp size can be adjusted by making small adjustments on the
unit’s micrometer. Each 100 on the micrometer represents 1 mm above the closed
diameter of the die set.
• For example, with a 50mm die set installed and the Micrometer set at 250, the
finished crimp diameter would be 52.5mm. (50mm + 2.5mm).
• Recheck calibration.
