Parker’s Parkrimp System is a gold standard in the industry for hydraulic hose crimping. Designed with a focus on precision, efficiency, and durability, the Parkrimp System addresses common issues fluid power professionals face, making crimping straightforward and dependable. It’s a favorite in the industry thanks to some great design features and benefits that set it apart in hydraulic crimping.
Why Choose Parker’s Parkrimp System?
For fluid power professionals, accuracy and reliability in hose crimping are essential. Mis-crimps or improperly secured fittings can lead to system failure, resulting in downtime, safety hazards, and increased operational costs. The Parkrimp System eliminates many of these risks by offering an intuitive design that ensures precise crimps on the first try without frequent adjustments or recalibration.
With Parker’s Parkrimp System, operators no longer need to waste time adjusting variable settings or recalibrating their equipment, which can be prone to mis-crimps. Instead, this system offers consistent, accurate crimps from the start, reducing the likelihood of errors and maximizing productivity.
Key Advantages of Parker’s Parkrimp System
Perfect Alignment with Parkalign™ Technology: Parker’s exclusive Parkalign™ system is one of the defining features of the Parkrimp System. This positive-stop design ensures the hose fitting is correctly positioned in the die, enabling perfect alignment and precise crimps every time. Unlike traditional variable crimpers, where operators must visually align fittings, Parkalign provides a tangible “feel” that confirms when the hose is in the correct position, eliminating guesswork, significantly reducing the chances of misalignment, and enhancing the quality of each crimp.
Efficient, Bottom-Loading Design: Parker’s Parkrimp hydraulic hose crimpers simplify handling long hose assemblies. The bottom-loading design allows hoses to be easily inserted into the crimper for fluid power professionals who frequently work with large equipment or need to make quick adjustments. This setup saves time, improves workflow, and reduces physical strain for operators managing large and complex assemblies.
Linked Dies for Ease of Use: A common issue in crimping operations is the misplacement or mismatching of die segments, leading to interruptions and inconsistencies in the crimping process. Parker addresses this with linked dies in the Parkrimp System. Linked dies ensure no segments are lost or mixed up, creating a smoother, more efficient operation. By keeping the die segments linked, operators can be confident that they are using the correct die configuration, which is critical for achieving precise crimps. The linked dies also contribute to easier storage and setup, as operators do not need to spend time searching for or organizing individual die segments. This thoughtful design element reduces setup time and further streamlines the crimping process.
Color-Coded Dies for Quick Identification: Time is a precious resource in any fluid power application, and setup time can often slow down productivity. Parker’s Parkrimp System includes color-coded dies, each corresponding to a specific size, making it easy for operators to identify the correct die for their application. In fast-paced work environments where multiple hose sizes are often used, color-coded dies allow operators to quickly switch between different configurations, contributing to a seamless workflow and enhanced productivity.
Long-Lasting Durability: Parker’s Parkrimp hydraulic hose crimpers have a legacy of durability. These crimpers are engineered for long-term use, withstanding the demands of high-volume industrial applications. Since their introduction in 1980 and through decades of refinement, Parkrimp crimpers have delivered reliable performance, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs.
Information-Rich Decals for Quick Reference: For operators working with multiple hose and fitting types, readily available information on the machine simplifies the process, reducing the risk of errors and ensuring each crimp meets the specified standards. An information-rich decal on the crimper provides crucial information, including the correct hose and fitting combinations, required tools, and crimp specifications for each combination.
The Parkrimp System Advantage: Reliable, Efficient, and Precise
Parker’s Parkrimp System stands out as a reliable, efficient, and user-friendly solution in a competitive industry where equipment reliability can make or break productivity.
