Techmaflex, the French hose crimper manufacturer, is launching its new P Crimp Series, which includes the Icrimp system, specially designed for OEM customers for simpler day-to-day work.
“We have made a huge improvement on the precision of our hose crimpers with a new master dies generation (die holders), a new hydraulic power pack design offering less noise, and more consistency in the crimping specs,” said the company. “You can enter, create and even load your own recipes (through the USB port) and have access to this data base every time. You select the hose reference and automatically, the system will show you the specs and will tell you which die set you must put inside the crimper.”
The P Crimp 320 has a 320-ton crimp force for 2 in. and 6 spiral hoses, and P Crimp 480 has a 480-ton crimp force for 3 in. and 6 spiral hoses. Both are working with high speed to allow the high production rates and repetitiveness needed in OEM market. The Icrimp system will inform you in case of hose crimper error; the crimper will ask the operator if he wants to crimp a new assembly to replace the defective hose crimping.
Additionally, the operator will have the possibility to use the semi-automatic opening on the Icrimp system. “He (the operator) will be able to tell the crimper not to open completely after a crimp but choose half-way through so the operator can take the hose assembly out of the head, turn the hose and crimp the other side without waiting for opening and closing of the head,” the company said.
