WICKLIFFE, OH - With Parkrimp crimping equipment from Parker Hannifin, the global leader in motion and control technologies, anyone can make factory-quality hose assemblies quickly, easily and cost-effectively.
Parkrimp system crimpers require no calibration - they are designed to crimp fittings to the proper diameter every time. This saves fluid power professionals the hassle of dialing variable settings that can potentially produce mis-crimps.
With a variable-style crimper, the machine must be recalibrated to the new crimp specification each time the user wishes to make a different size hose assembly. Not only does this process waste time, it can also produce scrap, as the first few crimps may not be within specification. Parkrimp machines, requiring no calibration, continuously produce proper crimps from the very first use.
From high-volume productivity to portable, on-site assembly, Parker offers a complete family of seven Parkrimp models for crimping straight or bent-stem fittings from ¼" to 2" in diameter. Parker's Parkrimp system provides users with several key advantages:
o Perfect alignment: Parker's exclusive Parkalign(TM) system features a positive-stop design that positions the fitting in the die for a perfect crimp every time. Parkalign benefits operators by enabling them to "feel" that the hose is in the right position to be crimped, as compared to "eyeballing" the proper position of the fitting in a variable crimper.
o Efficient design: bottom-loading Parkrimp crimpers make it much easier for operators to manage long hose assemblies.
o Linked dies: Parkrimp dies are linked together to prevent segments from being misplaced or worse, mismatched.
o Color-coded dies: Parkrimp dies are color coded by size, making for easy identification and reduced set-up time.
o Durability: since they were introduced in 1980, Parkrimp crimpers have been designed and manufactured to provide years of reliable service.
o Decals: Parkrimp crimpers come with an information-rich decal that provides the list of proper hose and fitting combinations, tools required and the crimp specification for each hose and fitting combination.
o Crimpsource: the most complete online resource (www.parker.com/crimpsource) for Parker crimp specifications, technical manuals, decals and more.
With its Parkrimp family of machines, a complete selection of No-Skive hoses and fittings as well as a full line of crimping accessories - including conversion kits, cabinets, cut-off saws, push-on tables, die racks and mandrel tool kits - Parker's Hose Products Division is the industry's best single source solution for hose assembly.
