The DX68 is an industrial-grade hose crimping machine designed to crimp metal hose fittings and assemblies. It provides controlled, repeatable crimps for manufacturing and repair applications.
It means the machine is designed to crimp metal components (metal hose ferrules, metal fittings, metal-reinforced hose assemblies) and is not intended for crimping non-metal materials such as plain rubber, plastics, or soft sleeves without metal reinforcement.
Typical compatible items include hydraulic hoses with metal fittings, stainless-steel braided hoses, and other hoses that use metal ferrules or collars. Always verify compatibility with your hose/fitting manufacturer and the machine's tooling.
Supported size range depends on the die/tooling set installed. The machine accepts interchangeable crimping dies to cover multiple nominal hose sizes. Check the product spec sheet or consult the supplier for the exact supported size range.
Dies are changed by stopping the machine, following lockout/tagout procedures, and replacing the die set according to the operator manual. Use manufacturer-recommended dies and ensure proper alignment and torque when installing.
Specific electrical and installation requirements (voltage, phase, air supply if applicable, floor mounting) are provided in the technical datasheet. Confirm site electrical capacity and any compressed air or foundation needs before installation.
Operators should wear appropriate PPE (safety glasses, gloves), receive training, and follow lockout/tagout procedures during maintenance. Keep hands clear of the crimping area and follow the safety guidelines in the operator manual.
Routine maintenance typically includes cleaning the machine, lubricating moving parts per the manual, inspecting and replacing worn dies or seals, and checking hydraulic or electrical systems as scheduled by the manufacturer.
Common checks include verifying correct die selection and installation, ensuring fittings/hose are properly positioned, checking hydraulic pressure or cycle settings, inspecting dies for wear, and confirming the machine is calibrated to spec.
Many industrial crimpers include adjustable settings or programmable control for crimp force and stroke. Refer to the machine's control panel documentation or product spec sheet for the DX68's specific capabilities.
Suppliers or manufacturers often provide operator training, startup assistance, and documentation. Ask your vendor about training packages or onsite commissioning services.
Common accessories include die sets for different hose sizes, replacement seals, hydraulic filters, and protective guards. Check with the supplier for a parts list and recommended spare parts to keep on hand.
Warranty terms vary by manufacturer and supplier. Typical support includes a limited warranty period, technical support, and availability of spare parts. Confirm warranty length and coverage with your vendor prior to purchase.
Depending on the machine's control options and available interfaces, the DX68 may be integrated into an automated workflow. Discuss your automation requirements with the manufacturer or systems integrator to verify compatibility.
Compare your hose types, fitting materials, required crimp dimensions/tolerances, production volume, and site requirements against the DX68's technical specifications. Contact the supplier with sample parts and application details for confirmation.
