Description

+

The Crosby range of presses are no longer available. Please see our hydraulic swaging press as an alternative.

This is a dual hydraulic system which combines the use of high speed and low pressure to bring dies into position; and the low speed and high pressure necessary for ideal swaging control.

The following features of National Hydraulic Swaging Machines offer a number of advantages for high production sling shops:

  • Adjustable tonnage control, so tonnage can be set to match die block Working Load Limit.
  • Four column wide stance which provides the operator ample working clearance between columns and a large area for in-process sling storage.  
  • Vertical swage action which gives an equalized press on the fitting to produce uniform high quality.
  • Self locating spring locks snap the shoe-type dies into place for quick set-up and change.
  • The National four column wide stance Hydraulic Swaging Machines, each equipped with an up-acting ram, have two side cylinders for fast approach and return of the main ram.
  • They come in four swaging capacities.
    • 500 ton (4450 kN)
    • 1000 ton (8900 kN)
    • 1500 ton (13350 kN)

For 1500 Ton Hydraulic Swaging Machines:

  • Approximate weight 34,500 lbs. (15.6t)
  • Overall height 8 ft. 6 in. (2.6m)
  • Fast advance and retract speed.
  • Automatic slow, precision swaging speed.

Operational Safety

  • NEVER use dies that are cracked, worn or abraded (galled).
  • NEVER use dies that have an oversized cavity.
  • ALWAYS use a matched set of dies.
  • When swaging steel fittings, DO NOT SHIM DIES. Dies for steel fittings must be free to float and align one to the other.
  • When swaging aluminum fittings, THE STEEL DIES MUST BE SHIMMED. Shim the side of the die to ensure the proper cavity alignment for flash removal.
  • NEVER shim between the dies.
  • When swaging Crosby National fittings, use only the proper capacity swaging machine for the size of fitting used (See Swaging Capacity Chart). If the swaging machine capacity exceeds the die block Working Load Limit rating, adjust the swaging machine tonnage to the Working Load Limit shown on the die block being used. See Table 1 for die block Working Load Limit.
  • Always use the correct size and type of die for the size wire rope fitting used.
  • Always lubricate die faces and cavities with light weight oil.
  • Progressive swaging of fittings must be done in accordance with procedure shown in “Swaging Products and Procedures” booklet. Only open channel dies are to be used.
  • Stop swaging when the cavity side of both dies touch.
  • Make sure part is swaged to the recommended after swage dimensions (See Crosby General Catalog or National Swage Brochure, Die Guide, or Die Chart).
  • If a swage fitting other than a Crosby National is used, determine adequacy of the termination by a destructive pull test.
  • All swage sockets must be swaged with socket head adjacent to the socket relief (largest radius) on the die.
  • For special applications or conditions, contact Crosby National.

Warning
  • Misuse of swaging machine can result in serious injury or death.
  • READ, UNDERSTAND, AND FOLLOW all the information in this warning document and the instructions shown in “Swaging Products and Procedures” booklet before operating the swaging machine.
  • Swaging machine operators must be trained in accordance with the information supplied by The Crosby Group, Inc.  The swaging machine owner is responsible for the training and the safe operation of the swaging machine.
  • Do not swage oversize parts.
  • Only swage parts of the proper design, material and hardness.
  • If misused, dies and/or die holders may break.  PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS: Always stay away from the sides of the swaging machine during swaging operations and alert others in your work area.
  • Keep head, hands, and body away from moving swaging machine and die parts.
  • Consult die manufacturer for correct use of their product.
  • Adjust swaging machine tonnage to the Working Load Limit (WLL) tonnage shown on the die block being used.  If the Working Load Limit is not legible, refer to Die height & width and corresponding Working Load Limit (See Table 1).  Failure to do so can result in serious injury or death.
