A crimping machine has a rockable hydraulic cylinder which in a force transmitting position drives a die segment assembly into a tapered cavity to force the assembly to contract radially for crimping the socket of a fitting onto the end of a hose. The die segment assembly is a unitary chain of linked die segments which may be fed into and removed from the die cavity in a serial manner to avoid obstructions. A floating die separator with axial projections engages angular surfaces on the bottom of the die segments to position the segments prior to crimping in a circular array which is equally circumferentially and radially outwardly spaced. |
