Which UNIFLEX machine suits your application?
| Machine | Typical use | Important selection criteria |
|---|---|---|
| Workshop crimper | Repairs, maintenance, custom assemblies and small to medium batches | Maximum hose size, crimp force, opening, controls, die sets and available space |
| Production crimper | Series production and higher throughput | Production volume, cycle time, automation, crimp range and process documentation |
| Cutting machine | Clean and repeatable cutting of hydraulic hose | Maximum hose diameter, hose construction, power, blade and extraction |
| Hose skiving machine | Removing the outer cover or inner tube for combinations that require skiving | Hose size, skive length, adjustment, tooling and production volume |
Workshop crimpers for service and maintenance
Workshop crimpers are designed for flexible day-to-day use. They are suitable for repairs, custom work and assembling different types of hydraulic hose in smaller and medium quantities.
Selection criteria include the maximum hose size, required crimp force, maximum opening, available die sets, control method and access around the crimping head.
Production crimpers for series assembly
Production crimpers are designed for higher capacity, repeatable crimping and an efficient workflow. They suit companies producing large quantities of hose assemblies or working with larger diameters and heavier couplings.
Depending on the model, electronic controls, programme management and production-support functions can contribute to a stable and controlled assembly process.
Cutting machines for hydraulic hoses
A clean, square cut supports correct coupling insertion and consistent assembly. Select a machine according to the maximum hose diameter, hose construction, reinforcement, cutting frequency, blade and required extraction.
Generated smoke, dust and cutting debris must be controlled using the extraction and safety provisions specified for the machine and application.
Hose skiving machines and hose preparation
Some hose and coupling combinations require part of the outer cover or inner tube to be removed before assembly. A skiving machine provides controlled and even preparation.
Incorrect settings can damage the reinforcement or inner tube. Use suitable tooling and always follow the current assembly data for the exact hose and coupling combination. Do not skive no-skive combinations.
Leeuwtechniek: UNIFLEX service partner for the Dutch market
A dependable machine is essential to daily workshop operations. Leeuwtechniek supports UNIFLEX users in the Netherlands with:
- Preventive maintenance
- Professional fault diagnosis and repair
- Advice on optimisation or replacement
- Maintenance at customer sites in the Netherlands
- Maintenance and repairs at the Leeuwtechniek workshop in Zwolle
Preventive maintenance
Preventive maintenance helps reduce unexpected downtime and supports safe, accurate machine operation. Wear, contamination, leakage and deviations can be identified before they lead to a breakdown or an incorrect crimp.
Technical inspection
Inspection of the general condition, moving parts, hydraulic components, electrical connections and safety functions.
Cleaning and adjustment
Cleaning relevant components and checking settings that affect machine operation and crimping results.
Advice and reporting
Practical advice on necessary repairs, operation, parts, optimisation and possible future replacement.
Fault diagnosis and repairs
A fault in a hose crimper, cutting machine or skiving machine can disrupt an entire workshop schedule. Leeuwtechniek helps customers in the Dutch market identify the cause and restore the machine professionally.
Depending on the machine, fault and circumstances, repairs are performed on site in the Netherlands or at Leeuwtechniek, Rieteweg 28 in Zwolle. If repair is no longer technically or economically justified, Leeuwtechniek can advise on optimisation or replacement.
Why regular maintenance matters
Less unplanned downtime
Early detection of wear and deviations reduces the risk of unexpected machine failure during daily work.
Consistent crimping results
A well-maintained machine supports repeatable settings and crimping in accordance with the applicable assembly data.
Safer operation
Correctly functioning controls, guards and machine components contribute to safe operation and reduced technical risk.
How to select the right UNIFLEX machine
- Define the maximum hose diameter
- Check the hose type and reinforcement
- Determine the required daily output
- Select the necessary crimp force and opening
- Choose the appropriate control method
- Determine the required dies and tooling
- Allow for the available workspace
- Check the required power supply
- Define any data-recording or automation needs
- Plan service, maintenance and future expansion
Operating crimpers and hose-processing machines safely
- Operate the machine only in accordance with its instructions.
- Use the correct dies and current crimp data for the exact hose and coupling combination.
- Inspect the hose and coupling before assembly.
- Keep hands and loose objects away from moving machine parts.
- Use guards and safety devices as intended.
- Isolate the machine safely before cleaning or maintenance.
- Replace damaged tooling and wear parts promptly.
- Have faults and deviations assessed by qualified personnel.
Daily inspection
- Check the machine for leakage
- Inspect dies and tooling
- Keep the crimping head and work area clean
- Check cables and connections
- Watch for unusual sounds or movement
- Record faults and maintenance
Daily inspection does not replace scheduled maintenance, but it helps identify deviations sooner. Stop using the machine if it operates unsafely or the crimping result differs from the specified result.
Frequently asked questions about UNIFLEX machines
Which UNIFLEX machine do I need?
This depends on the hose type, maximum hose size, production volume, required crimp force, desired level of automation and available workspace.
What is the difference between a workshop crimper and a production crimper?
A workshop crimper is intended for flexible use, repairs and smaller batches. A production crimper is designed for higher volumes, greater capacity and repeatable series production.
Why is hose crimper maintenance important?
Regular maintenance supports crimping accuracy, safety and machine availability and helps reduce the risk of downtime and incorrect crimps.
Is Leeuwtechniek an UNIFLEX service partner?
Yes. Leeuwtechniek is an authorised UNIFLEX service partner for the Dutch market and supports customers in the Netherlands with preventive maintenance, fault diagnosis, repairs and advice on optimisation or replacement.
Where does Leeuwtechniek service UNIFLEX machines?
For customers in the Dutch market, maintenance and repairs can be performed on site in the Netherlands or at the Leeuwtechniek workshop at Rieteweg 28 in Zwolle.
When should a crimper be replaced?
Replacement may be appropriate when repair is no longer economical, capacity is insufficient, parts are difficult to obtain or the machine no longer meets the required safety and production needs.
