In the manufacture of rope slings, the quality of the formation of end connections is of particular importance. The strength of the finished product, its resistance to loads and operational safety depend on the accuracy of compression of the bushing. That is why enterprises that produce lifting equipment use a specialized press for crimping steel rope. Such equipment allows you to form reliable connections using aluminum, steel or copper bushings and provides stable results in mass production.
Operating principle and main features
The hydraulic press creates a significant force necessary to uniformly deform the sleeve around the rope. During the crimping process, the individual elements of the connection are tightly fixed, forming a strong loop or end fastening. For different rope diameters, replaceable dies are used, the shape and dimensions of which are selected in accordance with the technological documentation.
Modern models can be equipped withI have a hydraulic unit, control system, pressure gauge, travel limiter and safety devices. Depending on the production tasks, equipment with a certain nominal force, stroke and size of the crimping zone is selected. For large enterprises, high productivity, repeatability of operations and the ability to quickly change between standard sizes are especially important.
Where the equipment is used
- at enterprises producing rope slings;
- in metallurgy and mechanical engineering;
- in port and transport organizations;
- at mining and construction sites;
- in repair and service workshops;
- in the production of lifting devices.
The use of a hydraulic press allows you to reduce the production time of slings, reduce the influence of the human factor and ensure the same quality of each operation. This is especially important for products that are operated under high loads and must comply with industrial safety requirements.
