The crimper machine is configured to analyze collected information based on identified hose and fitting properties; perform a crimping operation based on the collected information and the identified hose and fitting properties; measure crimping characteristics for the crimping operation; generate an alert based on the measured crimping characteristics and the collected information; and provide the alert to the interface.

A crimping tool for crimping a metallic crimp ring. The crimping tool includes a first crimp die having a first curved contact surface and a second curved contact surface, the second curved contact surface spaced apart from the first curved contact surface, and a trench extending between the first curved contact surface and the second curved contact surface. The crimping tool also includes a second crimp die cooperatively engageable with the first crimp die having a first curved contact surface and a second curved contact surface, the second curved contact surface spaced apart from the first curved contact surface, and a trench extending between the first curved contact surface and the second curved contact surface. The trench of the first crimp die and the trench of the second crimp die forms an annular bead in a center portion of the metallic crimp ring.

A swage tool includes a power unit connected to a yoke. The power unit exerts vertical force on a die block. The yoke holds swage dies in place and opposes the force exerted by the die block. The die block transfers the load exerted by the power unit into the swage dies, which surround the connector. The swage dies convert vertical force from the power unit into a radial swage on the connector. Quick release endplates hold the swage dies in place in the yoke and the die block. A yoke shroud keeps broken pieces of the yoke together if the yoke fails. A counter records the number of swages made by the tool. A rotating handle, a stand, remote wireless actuation and swage die identification imprints are also provided.

Provided are a method of for machining the outer circumference of a metal end cross-section, the method being capable of easily forming at least any of a deep groove, a deep recess, and a flange which are smooth and uniform in the longitudinal direction of a metal rod or metal pipe in the periphery of the cross-section of any of the end part of the metal rod or metal pipe, the drawn end part of the metal rod or metal pipe, and the hub hole forming part of the metal pipe; and a method for joining a metal component obtained by the machining method with another member. The machining method of the present invention is characterized in that: splitting is advanced by successively repeating press forming operation multiple times by using a slitting punch, in which a tip part has a sharp cutting edge, and the cutting edge is formed so as to have a shape equal to or partly equal to the outer shape of the cross section of a metal end part and so as to have a diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the cross section of the splitting object; and in order to control the depth of metal cracking cleft created with each press forming operation, a pressing die for pinching the outside of a metal rod or at least a pressing die of one side of pressing dies for pinching the inside and the outside of a metal pipe is disposed while its position is moved according to the distance of a split portion.

In a pipe machining apparatus A, a region of a part including a first pressure contact part 61a which comes into pressure contact with a first portion 11a of a pipe P in a lower clamper part 6 of a clamping device C serves as a first movable clamper part 61 which is separate from a different region 63 of the lower clamper part 6, and the pipe machining apparatus A includes a first displacement member 8A that is able to displace the first movable clamper part 61 in a predetermined first direction D1 after machining of the pipe P ends. According to such a constitution, a pipe machining apparatus capable of appropriately resolving aggravation of workability of removing a pipe caused by a part of the pipe which comes into pressure contact with a lower clamper part of a clamping device can be provided.

A power tool system includes a hydraulic power tool. The hydraulic power tool includes a hydraulic drive, a sensor, and a first electronic processor. The sensor is configured to detect an operational parameter of the hydraulic drive during an operation by the hydraulic drive. The first electronic processor is configured to store a plurality of data points based on the operational parameter detected during the operation and send the plurality of data points to an external device. The external device includes a display screen and a second electronic processor configured to receive the plurality of data points from the hydraulic power tool, control the display screen to display an expected data point for the operational parameter for the operation, and control the display screen to display an actual data curve based on the plurality of data points, the actual data curve overlaid on the expected data point.

A crimping machine including a first shaft having a first crimping portion and a bead wheel and a second shaft having a tapered portion disposed opposite the bead wheel of the first shaft. The first and second shafts are configured to grip a pipe blank having a transverse channel including a first angle. The first and second shafts are further configured to roll the pipe blank forward while crimping a portion of the pipe blank with the first and second crimping portions and applying pressure on the transverse channel of the pipe blank. The crimping machine further has having a tapered portion disposed opposite at least a portion of the crimping portion and the bead wheel of the first shaft. The bead wheel is configured to push upon the forming shaft to bend the first angle of the transverse channel formed in the pipe blank to a second angle.

A parison tube former utilizes a radial compression heater to heat a very specific portion of a preform tube for stretching. The heater has a plurality of compression dies that form a central cavity for receiving the preform tube. The working surfaces of the compression dies close down onto the outer surface of the preform tube to heat the tube via conduction, which more accurately and precisely heats the preform tube. A first stretched portion of the preform tube is produced by stretching the preform tube after heating. A second portion of the preform tube is then located within the central cavity and is also heated by the radial compression heater and stretched to produce a second stretched portion of the preform tube and an unexpanded portion of the preform tube, or balloon portion of the parison tube.

An apparatus for forming and sealing a duct member for use in an air handling system. At least one work station accommodates a work piece, which is generally a cylindrical tube.
