Introduction
The Aeroquip FT1360 crimp machine has been designed to provide production style crimping capability for all Aeroquip distributors as
well as original equipment manufacturers. The user can crimp -2 through -40 size Aeroquip fittings onto all Aeroquip hose styles including
four and six wire spiral hoses requiring internal skive crimp style fittings.
Each set of eight crimp dies is contained in a die cage which slides in and out of the machine as one package, thus eliminating time
consuming and messy die insertion and removal.
A compact hydraulic power unit supplies pressure to a cylinder which provides the required crimping force through the mechanical
advantage of a crimp ring and crimp die cage.
The crimp die cage is fixed, and the crimp ring moves over the cage to ease in crimping without the fitting moving.

Tooling
Crimp Die Cages: Crimp dies for the FT1360 crimp machine are contained in a die cage which can be inserted as a package into the
machine, thus eliminating time consuming and inaccurate insertion of individual dies. Each set of eight crimp dies is contained in a
separate die cage, thus eliminating concern from inter-mixing dies of different sets.
Crimp die cage part numbers are similar to crimp die part numbers. In either case the die suffix number is the same. Use the PowerSource
Crimp Spec tool to determine the tooling that should be used. The FT1209 crimp dies are longer than the FT1307 dies. They will
accommodate the longer sockets required with these assemblies.

Basic Machine Operation
With the machine installed as outlined in this manual and with the disconnect switch turned on. push the start button. The pump will start
running.
The crimp ring is pulled over the crimp cage by a hydraulic cylinder. Depressing the footswitch will move the crimp ring forward extending
the cylinder. Pressing the jog reverse button will move the crimp ring back to its retracted position..
You will find that being able to jog the crimp ring in either direction will be very helpful when positioning the fitting within the crimp dies
during the crimping cycle or when setting up the fitting locator.
Using the PowerSource Crimp Spec Tool
Visit the PowerSource Crimp Spec tool at danfoss.com/crimp for tooling and Crimp Spec details.
Maintenance
1. Sliding surfaces must be kept free of dirt and other abrasive materials.
2. Surfaces of crimp dies and the crimp ring where metal to metal contact is made should be lubricated with high efficiency PTFE grease
(Danfoss part number FF91455) at the beginning of each production run or as required during production (minimum of once per 25
crimps, and more often with larger hose).
3. All exposed black metal surfaces should be coated occasionally with a light film of oil to prevent corrosion.
4. The oil level in the fluid reservoir of the hydraulic power unit should be checked periodically and maintained at a level one inch below
the top of .the reservoir. Note: The crimp die cage should be retracted fully when the oil level is checked. Add SAE 10 weight hydraulic
oil as necessary.

Operating Instructions
Hose Preparation
1. Hose Preparation and Pre-Assembly
Select the proper hose, nipple and socket combination. Cut the hose to length, assemble and crimp. Skiving is required for flat factory
crimp.
2. Crimp Machine Setup
Determine the correct crimp die cage to be used to crimp the assembly you have selected. With the cylinder retracted fully, install the
crimp die cage by sliding it downward against the pressure plate until the shoulder bolts on the pressure plate are seated in the slots on
the back of the crimp die cage and the bolt on the back of the crimp die cage is seated in the slot at the top of the pressure plate.
3. Positioning The Fitting Locator
Straight Fittings
If only one hose assembly is being crimped on this setup, you will probably choose to locate the fittings visually rather than set the locator.
Whether the fitting is positioned within the dies visually or with the aid of the locator, the proper position will be the same. The scribe line
at the skirt end of the socket must be lined up with the face of the jaw inset. The locator, can be moved forward by loosening the locking
knob. When the locator touches the end of the fitting tighten the knob. The locator is spring loaded to accommodate for hose growth
during crimping operation.

Setting the digital encoder
The forward travel of the crimp cylinder is limited or controlled by the linear Transducer position system. By setting the encoder to a
number between 000 and 999 you can control the last 2 inches of cylinder travel. The larger the encoder number the further the cylinder
travels before it stops, therefore the crimp diameter gets smaller as the encoder number increases.
Example:
You want to crimp FC195-16 hose with a 1401 -16 socket. Find that the crimp diameter to is 1.529 - 1.539. The goal is to hit the average
diameter which is 1.534. Crimp an assembly with the encoder at 000. If you do not make an impression on the socket, increase the setting
by 100 and crimp again. Continue this process until you can measure an impression. Let’s say for example that at 300 you’ve made an
impression in the socket and measure one of the flats to be 1.793. Because the ratio of the encoder to cylinder is approximately 2 to 1, the
new encoder setting will be (1.793 -1.534) x 2 added to 300. The new setting should be approximately 818. Readjust if necessary, and once
you have an established setting, record it in the “Micro Setting” column within your crimp specification bulletin. Remember, always check
your first assembly for proper crimp diameter.
Shortening the return stroke
When crimping several identical assemblies, it may be desirable to shorten the machine cycle time by shortening the return stroke of
the cylinder. This can be done by jogging the crimp ring forward until just enough clearance remains to insert the uncrimped fitting into
position. Now slide the split clamp nearest the proximity switch directly under the front of the cylinder back to check the return stroke. It is
infinitely adjustable by sliding the split collar.

Crimping precrimped -32 assemblies
The crimp dies in the FT1307-200-23 crimp die cage are shorter than the required length of crimp for -32 size Danfoss fittings. In order to
crimp a -32 size fitting with these dies, it is necessary to use a special fitting onto which the socket has been pre-crimped at the factory.
The chart below shows the proper position for loading -32 pre-crimped fittings within the FT1307-200-23 crimp die cage.
Two piece -32 fittings (separate nipple and socket) can be crimped with the FT1360 crimp machine using the FT1209-200-17 crimp die
cage. Proper location in this case will be the same as described in the section “Position the Fitting Locator”.

Crimping field crimp style assemblies
Field crimp (barrel crimp) style hose assemblies were designed for “on location” repairs with a minimum of equipment. Skiving is not
required with field crimp fittings. The socket is pre-crimped to the nipple so the fitting can simply be pushed onto the hose and crimped.
When crimping field crimp style hose assemblies, special procedures must be followed when locating these assemblies in the crimp die
cage. The crimp socket has a line scribed near each end. The distance between the scribe lines is equal to the length of the crimp dies.
When crimped, the dies must be centered between the scribe lines. This can be done by aligning the face of either end of the crimp die
with the scribe line on that end of the socket (See Illustration).
Recalibration procedure
1. Insert an FT1307-200-8 crimp cage into the crimper and then crimp a 1401-16 socket using a setting of 920 on the digital encoder.
2. If a diameter of 1.483 + .003 is obtained, no further adjustments are necessary.
3. If a diameter of less than 1.483 is obtained, the transducer backstop must be moved toward the transducer. Consequently, if the
diameter is more than 1.483 the backstop must be moved away from the transducer.
4. The transducer backstop is located at the top left side of the crimper as shown on page 13, detail 19.
