The DX-1800 Corner Crimping Machine is equipped with a single crimping head that is hydraulically driven to crimp almost any thickness of aluminum with ease. At the belly of the machine there is a 3 HP motor that drives the oil pump. The machine is equipped with two stable, wide body arms to hold large or small frames for ease of operation. The first foot pedal causes the machine to grip the frame with two pneumatic clamps and the second pedal causes the machine to pull the frame together and crimp it at an exact 45° angle for a permanent lock. The machine is built on a rigid, heavy-gauge steel frame for better stability.
