S10XL

Another Uniflex introduction at Hannover Messe was the S10XL crimper. Uniflex’s S10 machine is a popular choice for regional industrial hose distributors. Like many other customers, some of these distributors requested a larger model. Following this request, Uniflex has extended the machine’s opening by bigger by 10mm – extending the range from 190mm to 200mm.

Uniflex’s designers have changed the inside works of the head to produce a bigger opening and an additional 16mm crimp travel – from 45mm to 61mm.

The S10XL’s fixed 6 o’clock die, making is easier to crimp down to a fixed position; especially with large assemblies. The crimper’s non-grease head has been designed for accurate and true crimping force every time, with possibility to crimp by pressure as standard.

UPG10

The new UPG10 guillotine cutter is simple to operate and can produce clean cuts up to 2”/75mm diameter. It is controlled by a pneumatic foot pedal for fast operation.

HMC 1-25/30

The new HMC 1-25/30 patented C-shaped crimping tool features a unique design for radial insertion or complex automotive hose lines. With a respective 25 tonne and 30 tonne fully adjustable crimp force, the HMC 1-25/30 can easily process materials and product lines that are easily damaged.

This grease-free system offers full force coupled with precision as required in the automotive industry. It includes an Option Pressure Force Control to include additional software, hardware and hydraulic controls. By prior analysis of materials/part, the crimping tool makes it possible to crimp sensitive work pieces and materials such as fibre glass.

C.2 Siemens touch screen and ULS labelling system

The new C.2 Siemens lean production control is now available with optional branded and personal step process. It is a fully integrated hose labelling software and printer able to print labels to include all hose information directly from the C.2 touch screen or a handy APP. Using the new C.2, users can download and upload both crimp data and production information.

The new C.2 features additional production, quality and supervisor stop controls, plus an integrated digital caliper and/or microchip key stop/start. It facilitates full paperless communication, and production and crimp machines can be set to operate from a back office.

The system can produce colour coded hose exchange dates and customer branding, which can enhance the user’s preventative maintenance regime through improved asset management.

All of these new products are available from UK distributor Abdex.
