MACHINE DESCRIPTION & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
MACHINE DESCRIPTION.
A bench mounted annular eight-segment hose assembly swaging machine with
interchangeable dies.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
When operating the machine for the first time check that the motor rotation direction is
correct. (Three phase machines only) If the jaws of the swaging head do not begin to close
when the green button is pressed the phase rotation of the motor will have to be reversed. To
reverse the rotation of the motor change over any two of the phase cables in the plug from
the machine (supplied with the machine). A competent electrician should carry out the
rewiring of the electric plug.
Switch the selector to MANUAL.
Select the appropriate die set using the die chart and the manufacturers recommended
finished swage size.
Fit the dies into the swaging head as illustrated in Fig.2.
Set the calibration unit to the required setting. To determine setting, subtract the die size in
millimeters from the finished swage size in millimeters. This final figure is the calibrator
setting. (example - For a finished swage size of 25.40mm using die size 22, (range
22.00mm to 28.00mm) 25.4 –22.0 = 3.40, Calibrator setting 3.40.
WARNING. To avoid damage to the calibrator unit, adjustments must be made with the
swaging head fully open. The calibrator must not be set below zero.
Position the assembly to be swaged within the dies of the swaging head.
Ensure machine is switched on and the emergency stop button is unlatched, and the power
indicator light is on.
Operate the swaging head by depressing the green button. The dies will close onto the
assembly and the swage is complete when the indicator light is illuminated.
To open the swaging head press the red opening button
NB. The swaging head does not need to be fully open to release the assembly.
The finished swage size should be checked and calibration settings adjusted where
necessary as “spring back” (energy trapped and released by the rubber and metal after
swaging) make occur especially with very large hose and fitting assemblies.
