30 HYDRAULICS & PNEUMATICS September 2021 www.hpmag.co.uk HYDRAULICS Char Lynn orbital motor undergoing testing. database provides the most up-to-date crimp data in just a few clicks. Users can gain fast and easy access to crimping instructions and crimp diameters. There is no need for time- consuming trial-and-error testing or sifting through a stockpile of outdated CD-ROMs to find the ideal machine settings. Simply go to ecrimp.gates.eu or download the mobile eCrimp app (available for Android and iOS) and get immediate access to the crimp library without registration. Fast, comfortable handling We believe products that are easy and pleasant to use can improve user productivity. That is why every Gates piece of equipment for crimping, cutting and marking are designed for fast, comfortable handling. In all electrical- driven crimpers, a standard built-in storage rack is positioned for quicker die selection, while die sets are logically organised and within easy reach of the operator. Field service crimping devices are easily portable and come with a detachable die storage case, solid and durable handles and resistant rubber protection layers. Feedback from our user community has shown that ergonomic design is widely appreciated, not in the least because of higher productivity figures and fast approval by local health and safety executives. Workshop machinery options In the Gates workshop, safe, fast and efficient assembly of hydraulic hoses and couplings is made simple. All machines are custom designed to work with a well- defined range of Gates hoses and couplings, allowing production of factory- quality assemblies fully complying with European Directives and the most stringent international standards. No matter what your workshop needs, whether you are a starter, a professional or a full-service workshop, Gates has the right product offering for you. Special proposition for mobile service operations A Gates hose assembly is much more than the sum of its components, it is the combined result of a rigorous test regime and of a tightly controlled manufacturing process, both at Gates and at the point of assembly. To reduce the risk of premature failure due to variations in the assembly process, Gates has developed a special proposition for mobile service operations allowing them to benefit from the simplified and superior Global range of no-skive hoses and couplings. And thanks to the Gates Integrated System, mobile service operators can offer their customers the superior quality and performance that they deserve. Factory-quality, no-skive assemblies – even in the field In the field, every minute counts. In today’s environment, equipment, whether it be agricultural, construction or mining, simply cannot afford unnecessary downtime. This is why Gates has developed a range of small, portable and easy to use crimpers specifically designed for end-users on site. And since these simple, lightweight machines are designed as part of the Gates Integrated System Approach, end-users are assured of factory-quality, no-skive assemblies – even in the field. Keep efficient, safe and compliant with the right training Mixing and matching couplings and hoses from different manufacturers can lead to premature assembly failure, as hoses, couplings, assembly equipment and crimping tolerances from different vendors are never guaranteed to offer safe interchangeability. Improper assembly and installation can seriously compromise performance and human safety. If a hydraulic hose assembly fails, the assembler can be held accountable for damages, as stated by European legislation (2006/42/CE - ISO 4413:2010). To help you avoid material and personal hazards and liability issues, Gates Fluid Power Europe can provide you with expert information on safety issues affecting hydraulic hose assemblies through the Safe Hydraulics training programme. So, with Gates’ Integrated Systems Approach coupled with our dedication to high-quality materials, advanced product features and first-class customer service, we are confident we can help to optimise your operations and bring downtime and maintenance costs substantially while keeping you efficient, safe and legally compliant. www.gates.com If a hydraulic hose assembly fails, the assembler can be held accountable for damages, as stated by European legislation (2006/42/CE - ISO 4413:2010).
