Crimping Procedures
Loading and Unloading Die Cages
To load the die cage, press and hold the RETRACT switch (figure 1) until the crimp ring reaches the “full retract” position and stops. The die cage may be inserted or removed in this position (figure 2). The FT1380e crimp machine will automatically retract when it has reached the target setting (this is when crimp is complete).
Figure 1
Figure 2
WARNING: Maintain clear distance from all moving parts.
Refer to the current Danfoss PowerSource Crimp Spec tool for complete and detailed crimp specification information for each hose and fitting style.
1. Retract the crimp ring by depressing the retract switch until the crimp ring is fully retracted. Select the proper die cage as shown in the PowerSource Crimp Spec tool. Use the high efficiency grease provided to grease the outside of each of the die segments and then slide the die cage into the cage holder slots.
2. Using the touch screen, navigate to the appropriate crimp spec production screen via selection from the Product Library or the Favorites menu.
3. Position the fitting within the crimp cage aligning the scribe line to the top of the dies.
4. To crimp the fitting, depress the CRIMP switch. The crimp ring will rise until the fitting is fully crimped. It will then stop and begin to retract, signifying
that the crimp is complete. Remove your finger from the CRIMP switch. The crimp ring will automatically retract.
5. Verify correct crimp diameter. Reminder: Full retraction is required for changing die cages.
Maintenance Procedures
Maintenance Intervals:
Die Cage Lubrication
Every 50 crimps:
Relube sliding surfaces of dies
Every 500 crimps:
Remove old grease and relube
Every 1000 crimps:
Die cage maintenance
Crimp Ring Maintenance
Every 500 crimps
Remove old grease and relube
Every 2000 crimps
Remove old grease, inspect for wear or
damage and relube if okay
Use high efficiency PTFE grease (part number T-400-G for 4 oz tube, FF91455 for 16 oz can)
Die Cage Maintenance Procedures
1. Lubricate the die cage. For maximum service, FT1380 die cages require lubrication at 50-crimp intervals with high efficiency PTFE grease. FF91455 is a 16 ounce container that will provide sufficient lubricant for about 10,000 crimps.
Periodically remove grease residue that has built up on the sides of the dies and in the crimp ring during the crimping process. Residue becomes contaminated with metal and plating chips and airborne contaminants, which can cause premature wear of the dies and crimp ring. It should carefully be removed without mixing it with newly applied grease.
2. Die cage maintenance should be performed at 1000- crimp intervals or every six months, whichever occurs first. Die cages should be free of grease and debris and inspected for worn or damaged components.
a. The sliding surface of the dies should appear smooth with no apparent galling. Galled dies must be replaced. Individual dies in a cage can be replaced without replacing all eight dies.
b. Replace springs that show any sign of damage or collapse such as those which are shorter than the other springs.
c. The spring plate should appear smooth with no apparent galling. Galled spring plates must be replaced.
d. Inspect remaining components, and replace those that are badly worn.
Reassemble components, and liberally apply high efficiency PTFE grease to the die surface which slides along the spring plate. Torque the die cage bolts to 50 in. -lbs. Ensure that all dies slide in and out freely.
Machine Maintenance Procedures
1. Sliding surfaces must be kept free of dirt and other abrasive materials.
2. All exposed black metal surfaces should be coated occasionally with a light film of oil to prevent corrosion.
3. Periodically check the oil level in the fluid reservoir of the hydraulic power unit. Maintain the oil level according to the indicator on top of the reservoir. Add hydraulic oil as needed.
Note: Completely retract the crimp ring when checking the oil level.
Troubleshooting Tips
Remember: The electric motor only runs during the crimping process. The motor energizes when the crimp switch is pressed and de-energizes when the crimp switch is released or when the crimp cycle is completed. While retracting, the hydraulic dump valve is energized. When the valve is energized, oil flow is directed from the pump to the cylinder. When the valve is de-energized, oil flows from the cylinder back to the reservoir.
Symptom Pump will not start
Corrective Action
· Make sure the power cord is plugged in to correct voltage outlet. Have electrician confirm correct voltage is available at outlet.
· Make sure switch on pump is in the `ON’ position. Pump may need service.
Sporadic operation
· Check oil level. · Bleed entire hydraulic system to remove trapped air.
Noisy operation
· Air in system….Check oil level. · Bleed entire hydraulic system to remove trapped air. · Clean pump filter screen.
Pump Runs but Does Not Build Pressure or Pump Oil Crimp diameters change
· Check oil level. · Clean pump filter screen. · Internal Leakage…Pump needs services at authorized repair facility.
· Verify the correct hose/fitting combination. · Verify the correct die cage. · Repair or replace the damaged die cage. · Tighten loose transducer and brackets, and then recalibrate them if necessary. · Tighten any loose bolts or screws. · Lubricate the die cage per the maintenance procedures. · Lubricate the tie rod bushings per the maintenance procedures.
If the symptom appears to be solely pump or cylinder related, refer to the Repair Parts Sheets. Any electrical checks must be performed by a qualified electrician.

Frequently Asked Questions
Question 1: Why won’t the machine retract? Answer Check the global retract position. The retract position can be safely entered on the production screen as values 0 – 1200. The retract position value is “global” and all crimps will retract to this position until the value is changed. Entering a retract value that is smaller than the target setting will cause the machine not to retract. The retract must then be performed manually by using the switch. Question 2: Why are the calculated offsets not being saved
with my crimp spec? Answer For offsets to be saved with the crimp spec record, you must crimp from Favorites. If you crimp from Favorites, select the calculator icon, enter your measurements, and then select Calculate, the offset will be calculated and stored with the Favorite crimp spec record. If you are crimping with a spec from the product library, offsets will not be saved. No changes can be made to the product library.
