HYDRAULICS 46 HYDRAULICS & PNEUMATICS March 2020 www.hpmag.co.uk In the production and repair of hose assemblies, maximum precision is of the utmost importance. Therefore, Uniflex, the suppliers of crimpers for hydraulic hoses, also offers a number of peripheral devices and a comprehensive range of accessories. The company comments that for productive operations in production and in workshops, high- precision cutting machines for hydraulic and industrial hoses are absolutely indispensable. The EM 4 hose cutting machines cut industrial hoses and SAE R 12 hydraulic hoses with diameters of up to 2” – in the economical Ecoline version of up to1 1 ⁄ 4 ”. Due to their compact dimensions and different electricity supplies, this range is claimed to be particularly well-suited for use in workshops or for services provided on site. In order to ensure vibration during operation is as low as possible, the motors of the EM 3 models are located close to the cutting blade. Uniflex explains that the drives have a double bearing; additional brake motors to ensure maximum safety. The EM 4 models and the EM 4 Ecoline work with 230 Volt, the EM 4 DC with 12. Like most of the other Uniflex cutting machines, the EM 4 cutting machines also offer all the usual advantages – from universal usability to high energy efficiency and special brake and cutting motors up to the TM C high- quality cutting blades. The Unflex cutting blades, especially developed in Germany, are claimed to have a particularly long life and make all EM 4 cutting machines a safe investment with a fast ROI – through faster and straighter cutting, less rejects and by keeping the workplace cleaner. Due to intelligent solutions for the motor brake and the blade protection, subjects such as safety, protection at the workplace and ergonomic features are not missed out either. Uniflex comments that no matter which model is being used, whoever has worked with the crimper just once will never want to use a crimper again without the benefits of this clean and precise hose processing mode. www.uniflex-hydraulics.com EM 4 machines for precise, clean cuts of hoses for the full picture visit www.twisterflex.com
