Hydraulic hose crimping machine GC™ 32 FLEX™ TSi™

automatichydraulicbattery-powered

Overview
GC™ 32 FLEX™ TSi is a hydraulic hose crimper designed for precision assembly of production hydraulic hoses up to 2" diameter. The unit features an integrated two-stage hydraulic power option and a tablet command interface that connects to the controller via Bluetooth for digital process control and data lookup.

Key features

• Includes 18V Lithium-Ion Milwaukee M18 battery for select components.
• Integrated two-stage hydraulic power unit; also compatible with external 10,000 PSI hydraulic units.
• Tablet command interface with Gates eCrimp for crimp data lookup and process control.
• Contactless digital position sensor for precise and repeatable crimps.
• Supports 2" 6-wire spiral hydraulic hose assemblies.
• Horizontal feed orientation to ease assembly fabrication.
• Indexing shoes with automatic grease distribution for consistent operation.
• Color-coded dies and die quick-change tool for fast setup without press operation.
• Access provisions for large elbows and long drops; 2.5" return line.
• Built-in forklift slots and modular configuration: head-only, separate hydraulic power unit, or fully integrated crimper.

Features and benefits (summary)

• Digital connectivity and tablet control streamline setup and reduce errors via continuously updated eCrimp specifications.
• Contactless sensing ensures accurate, consistent crimps across production runs.
• Portability options allow use in remote or low-volume shop environments when paired with the integrated or an external pump.
• Modular design enables gradual scaling of crimp operations by upgrading components within the Gates crimper family.
• Optimized for use with Gates hydraulic hose and couplings to deliver repeatable assemblies up to 2".
