CRIMPING
Select the correct die for the combination of hose and fi tting being
crimped. Consult the hose and fi tting manufacturer’s specifi cations
for the correct die to use and the fi nal crimp diameter required.
The fi nal crimp diameter will be the closed diameter stamped on the
face of the die plus the number shown on the micrometer gage. See
the micrometer setting example below:
Micrometer Setting Example
Each 100 on the micrometer dial represents 1 mm above the
closed diameter of the die set. For example, with a 57mm
die set installed and the micrometer set at 240 as shown in
the photo, the fi nal crimp diameter would be 59.4 mm ( 57mm
+ 2.4mm)
Insert the hose and fi tting in the crimper head to the correct depth
and press and hold the foot switch until the crimper shuts off. If the
AccuStop
TM
coupling stop is being used make settings according to
instructions.
Check the fi nished crimp diameter with calipers to be certain that it is
within the hose manufacturer’s specifi cations.
CALIBRATION
Due to physical variations in hose and fi tting combinations, it may be
necessary to offset the crimper in either the plus or minus direction by
a few mm to get the measured crimp diameter to match the micrometer
setting. If the fi nal crimp dimension is consistently off in either direction
the micrometer dial can be adjusted to compensate.
Make a crimp with the hose and fi tting combination most commonly
used, and measure the fi nished crimp diameter.
If necessary, loosen the set screw on the adjustment knob with a .050’
hex key wrench.
Rotate the adjustment knob so that the number on the dial matches
the actual diameter of the fi nished crimp.
Tighten the set screw and make another crimp to confi rm that the
crimper is set correctly.
