RFX145 Smart Crimping Machine

RFX145 Smart (The composite inclined-plane model) crimping machine is a member of the FX series, featuring a brand-new, unique composite cylinder and composite inclined-plane technology with independent intellectual property rights, and embodies the latest international trends.

R stands for intelligent system, and FX stands for mechanical structure (composite inclined surface). During crimping: 1) The mold remains stationary in the axial (front-to-back) direction but exerts radial (planar) pressure. As a result, after crimping, there’s little likelihood of tapering (commonly known as “big end, small end”). 2) The mold slides along a track without relying on spring support. Consequently, the crimped lines are uniform and won’t become elliptical. 3) The machine has a large opening, making it easy for products to pass through. 4) It’s convenient to change molds. 5) Specialized products are easier to position accurately during crimping.

Smart Crimping Machine Performance Features: 1. Multiple processing modes available: manual, automatic, and custom crimping modes. 2. Three intelligent crimping methods (simultaneous control of size, pressure, and force). 3. Real-time monitoring and uploading of processing data for convenient subsequent management and traceability of tubing quality. 4. Intelligent setting for rebound compensation during crimping. 5. Remote control of the crimping equipment. 6. Smart digital caliper connection for automatic calculation of compensation to account for machining errors. 7. Automatic detection of whether the connector is fully crimped. 8. Intelligent data recognition to prevent incorrect input. 9. No need to manually enter matching crimping parameters. 10. Self-diagnosing device with fault alarms.

This model is a crimping machine meticulously designed with rigorous manufacturing processes and precision engineering, featuring high clamping force, wide opening range, and an extensive application scope. It has been developed based on our company’s long-term, extensive production experience and by carefully incorporating feedback from users regarding quality performance. This machine not only employs composite cylinder technology in its crimping head but also adopts a composite inclined-surface design for its locking mechanism. During the 44-millimeter expansion and contraction cycle, the mold base of this model features dual-speed adjustment—fast and slow—allowing for greater control over the crimping dimensions. Moreover, the mold base is designed with a basin-shaped contact surface against the front cover, minimizing frictional resistance. This makes it a powerful and highly efficient crimping machine. Throughout the entire manufacturing process, we have not only utilized advanced digital machining technologies but also employed high-quality alloy steel materials combined with a unique heat-treatment process, thereby pushing beyond the conventional limits of both wear resistance and load-bearing capacity inherent in alloy steels after heat treatment. Only by meeting these comprehensive conditions and achieving breakthroughs in heat-treatment technology can we design and manufacture this first-class series of crimping machines that simultaneously enhance clamping force and ensure exceptional service life.

　　This model also features the following characteristics: (1) The mold installation adopts a T-slot structure. When crimping special pipe fittings, you can first insert the fitting assembly of the hose to be crimped into the mold and then insert the mold itself for crimping, thus meeting the requirements for crimping ultra-large-sized, specially shaped elbows and non-standard fittings. (2) The mold base operates using a guided sliding mechanism, which effectively compensates for the deformation of the support springs caused by fatigue over long-term use, thereby eliminating the need for frequent readjustment due to uneven spacing between adjacent crimping dies. (3) The linked crimping die on the mold base performs only a slight axial movement while simultaneously undergoing radial contraction and expansion, allowing for quick and precise control of the crimping position when crimping hose assemblies. (4) Thanks to the adoption of composite cylinder technology, the crimping head, hydraulic system, and electrical control box—the three major systems—can operate independently, making maintenance and replacement convenient. Moreover, after separating these systems, they can easily be returned to the factory for long-term warranty service. (5) The hydraulic system has been redesigned and enhanced with the incorporation of advanced foreign-insert-type check valves and relief valves. Additionally, the oil pump flow rate and motor power have been increased. As a result, the speed of the crimping machine has significantly improved, making it particularly suitable for crimping large batches of ultra-large-sized elbows, specially shaped elbows, and F-shaped elbows used in construction machinery—allowing for high-pressure hose assemblies to be crimped precisely to specified dimensions in a single operation. (6) Mold changes are facilitated by a mold gun, enabling rapid, one-time replacement of eight molds at once, making mold changes even quicker and more convenient.
