The Danfoss FT1244 Crimp Machine is designed for the distributor or O.E.M. who needs production style crimping capacity. The FT1244 is a
hydraulically operated machine that will crimp Danfoss standard crimp fittings; -3 through -32*, including four spiral hose. The FT1244 will crimp
both straight and standard elbow fitting assemblies.
A compact hydraulic unit supplies pressure to a cylinder which provides the required crimping forces through the mechanical advantage of a
crimp ring and dies.
*Special fittings are required for -32 sizes. Refer to section “Procedure For Crimping -32 Hose Assemblies.”
Introduction
1. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN.
Cluttered areas and benches
invite accidents.
2. AVOID DANGEROUS
ENVIRONMENT.
Keep the
work area well lit. Do not
operate equipment when
floors are slippery. Always
ensure you have sound
footing with both feet on
the floor. Do not operate
controls if hands or controls
are wet.
3. PREVENT UNAUTHORIZED
OPERATION.
Do not
permit anyone to operate
this machine unless they
have read and thoroughly
understand this manual.
Unplug the machine when
not in use.
4. USE THE RIGHT DIE CAGE.
Do not force the dies to
do a job they were not
designed for. Never mix dies
of different sets. Dies are
assembled in a cage.
5. WEAR PROPER APPAREL.
Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry that could get
caught in moving parts.
Rubber-soled footwear is
recommended for best
footing.
6. DO NOT OVERREACH.
Keep
proper footing and balance
at all times.
7. MAINTAIN DIES WITH
CARE.
Dies used in the
FT1244 crimp machine are
hardened tool steel affording
the best combination of
strength and wear resistance
for long life. Hardened dies
are generally brittle and care
should be taken to avoid
any sharp impact. Never
strike a die with a hardened
instrument..
