 HMI 2011: UNIFLEX presents new crimper
HM 1200 for hoses and fittings

Karben, 16^th March 2011 – On the occasion of HANNOVER MESSE Industrie (HMI) from 04^th through 8^th April, 2011, UNIFLEX-Hydraulik from Karben (www.uniflex.de) will present their comprehensive range of machinery for hose manufacturing. The company's trade fair focus in hall 21, stand C39, is the new industrial crimper type HM 1200. With a crimping power of 1,200 t, it is especially suitable for crimping large and heavy industrial and hydraulic hoses, reinforcement bars, isolators, ropes, as well as for pipe forming.

 The compact design of the HM 1200 hydraulic crimper is a development of the well-proven HM 660. Due to its higher crimping force, a variety of components can be crimped and/or formed even easier. Good accessibility allows for uncomplicated loading within short time. The machine, its unit and control are separate modules so that the installation positions of these components may be selected in accordance with the relevant spatial conditions. The crimper has a standard control touch panel for operation. The integrated item memory can be used to store up to 1,000 records.

 No lubricant required

For HM 1200, too, UNIFLEX used their proven slide bearing plates on the crimping tool which provides for a largely linear correlation with the pressure-power process. In addition, these specialized plates ensure an increase in the real crimping performance due to less friction, and hence prevent additional wear of the crimping tool. In general, a reduction in friction losses of up to 20 % will result in higher crimping power to the user's benefit. And moreover, the crimper operates without lubricants so that contamination of machine, work pieces and not least individuals is avoided.

 Safe depositing and quiet working

The work piece to be processed may be deposited on the fixed "6 o'clock" dies without any risk. This type of assembly also supports an automated loading of the crimper. Besides, HM 1200 operates very quietly; its sound level amounts to 69 dBA.

 In course of Hannover Messe Industrie, UNIFLEX (hall 21, stand C39) will also provide a detailed insight in the function of HM 485 and the optimized test stand P300. It can be used to test up to four hoses per chamber at a time. In addition, the system allows for connecting a second testing chamber. The Karben enterprise will also provide information on its offer of production and service/workshop crimpers as well as skiving, hose cutting and brushing machines and all other equipment required to process and manufacture hydraulic hoses.
