The One Press® Swaging System

The fastest and most reliable method of swaging Flemish eye wire rope slings in the world

A proven process, this unique system is designed to swage steel sleeves onto Flemish eye wire rope slings in just ONE PRESS®! Consisting of the innovative combination of ONE PRESS® steel sleeves, and ONE PRESS® dies, ONE PRESS® works with wire rope ranging in size from 1/4″ up to 1-1/2″ inclusive

A Swaging Press System with Improved Efficiency, Safety and Quality

The only fully integrated swaging system for Flemish eye wire rope slings, ONE PRESS® is 100% efficient. There is no need for rotating the sleeve or assembly, or multiple closing of the dies. Second stage dies are not required.

Swaging with ONE PRESS® eliminates awkward handling of assemblies, increasing safety and ergonomics, and insures the integrity of the final wire rope slings – without compromise.

This advanced swaging technology works with modern precision swagers, and is designed and engineered for optimal use with Strider’s SMART™, FAST™ and UNIVERSAL™ Swagers.

ONE PRESS® is ideal for businesses that are doing production orders, as well as rigging shops that need to make a single wire rope sling quickly for an immediate lifting requirement.

If your company is having production bottleneck issues, workplace safety concerns, wants to save on expensive electricity or labour costs, or simply needs to modernize in order to stay competitive in today’s market, The ONE PRESS® Swaging System is the safe, fast and reliable smart solution.

The ONE PRESS® Swaging System, including trademarks, intellectual property rights and inventories, is available exclusively through Strider-Resource.

ONE PRESS® System Advantages

Learn how The ONE PRESS® Swaging System can benefit your business
  • Efficiency: The unique combination of One Press® Dies and One Press® sleeves simplifies the process of swaging steel sleeves multiple times, using only one swage, in one cavity, using only one set of dies.
  • Quality: A steel sleeve swaged only once will not experience the same work (material) hardening as a sleeve hit multiple times.
  • Accuracy: There is no allowance for errors. The right sleeve can only be used with the correct rope and the proper dies. Mistakes cannot be concealed through multiple swaging.
  • Compliance: One Press® dies are bolted into place for precision, safety and performance. North American and European hydraulic swager press standards require dies to be fixed, rather than floating.
  • Safety: One Press® Swaging reduces worker exposure to hand and back injuries, as well as carpel tunnel syndrome.

The One Press® Swaging System will work with different swager brands but will perform optimally in modern hydraulic swagers (precision swagers). Our Universal™ Swagers can also be used with existing dies to swage round steel sleeves, swage sockets and aluminum ferrules.

Learn how ONE PRESS® will give your business a competitive edge

The use of The One Press® Swaging System contributes to improved product quality on a consistent and reliable basis, helping to reduce costs, maintain or increase profits, and maximize efficiency with:

  • Less time and skilled labour required to make slings
  • Less capital equipment required to make slings
  • Reduced chance of injury
  • Lower operating and maintenance costs
  • Less inventory and storage space required to service customers
  • More customers service opportunities

For over 19 years, The One Press® Swaging System has been proven by wire rope sling fabricators large and small, in countries around the world, to be the fastest, most efficient, and the most cost effective method of swaging carbon steel sleeves on Flemish eye wire rope splices.

Smart Swager

SMART™ Swager with available Swager Guarding™

Features of the SMART™ Swager with Swager Guarding™

Swager Guarding™ allows trained operators to swage wire rope slings without risk of injury caused by pinch points. New and innovative technology permits a full range of wire rope diameters to move freely within the swaging zone. The system automatically stops when the operator gets too close, and easily resets to continue swaging.

Features of the SMART™ Swager with Swager Guarding™

  • Incorporates a universal die pocket to accommodate both ONE PRESS® and multi-press dies, which are quickly and easily installed using a modern reliable eccentric clamping system.
  • The pump and motor are fully enclosed and insulated.
  • The swager operates at a very low noise level of 60-68 decibels.
  • The main controls and the electric foot pedal can be repositioned for easy accessibility.
  • Stroke limiter and hold modes are easily programmed to save time and energy.
  • Production and maintenance tracking is easy as the control system counts and records the total number of swages and operational hours. It records overloads and provides maintenance alerts. Alarms indicate if the oil level is low and if the oil and filter needs to be changed.

DIES

Dies designed for efficient swaging with just one press

One Press® Dies are engineered and built to swage One Press® Sleeves from 1/4″ up to 1-1/2″ inclusive in just one press. Using One Press® Dies eliminates time-consuming multi-pressing and second stage die changes.

The efficiency of One Press® allows the dies to be significantly smaller and lighter than multi-press dies, and they are precision cut to ensure fluid metal movement. These dies work with any modern precision/hydraulic swagers, but are designed and engineered for optimal use with Strider’s SMART™, FAST™ and UNIVERSAL™ Swagers.

Die Stock Sizes:

1/4”, 3/8”, 1/2”, 5/8”, 3/4”, 7/8”, 1”, 1-1/8”, 1-1/4”, 1-3/8”, 1-1/2”

For more information on custom die orders, including traditional multi press round sleeve, swage socket, buttons and aluminum and copper ferrule dies, please contact us today at 905-859-3901.

+ All One Press® Dies are single stage dies from 1/4″ up to 1-1/2″ inclusive. Second stage dies or die change-outs are not required. The specifications above are for One Press® Swaging. The swage capacities of individual Smart™, Fast™ and Universal™ Swagers may be greater when doing multi press swaging.

Smart™, Fast™ and Universal™ Swagers can also be used for multi-press swaging. Dies are available for multi-press sleeves, swage sockets, buttons, and ferrules to fit directly into the standard die holder. Fast™ and Universal™ Swagers with an “All In One” Universal Die Holder accept One Press® Dies and larger die block sizes that fit other makes and brands of swagers.

One Press® Dies may be used in other brands of swagers with or without the use of an adapter or modifications to the existing die holders. Performance will vary due to differences in the speed and efficiency of certain makes of swagers. One Press® Dies are precision dies and are designed to work best in swagers that have accurate tolerances.

  • The difference is in the swaging process itself. The One Press® Swaging System compresses the steel sleeve onto the wire rope. Multi press swaging systems compact the steel sleeve on the wire rope. Compaction requires multiple closures of the die. One Press® Swaging requires one and only one closure of the die for 100% efficiency. (The right way, the first time, every time, in the least amount of time.)
  • The One Press® Swaging System is protected by U.S. Patents #5,816,094 and #6,032,338 and other worldwide patents and patents pending.

Combined with the unique, modern design features of Fast Swagers, One Press® Swaging helps to overcome many of the “bottlenecks” associated with the fabrication of wire rope slings and bridle sling assemblies in rigging shops.

One press testimonials

There are two areas where the One Press System saves time and labour above all previous sytems - larger sleeves, and multi-leg bridles. When making 2-3-4 leg bridles, the labour required to hold, position, and manipulate the rings and legs, is like wrestling a mule when using the standard press and sleeves. With the One Press System, the effort is anywhere from 1/4 to 1/16th that required of older types systems. A major benefit of this is increased safety for the workers. While there is a learning curve when the One Press is installed in a shop for the first time, and the workers are a bit uncomfortable with the new process, after a few weeks the advantages and ease of use become ingrained and the old methods are soon forgotten. We are now using three of the One Press machines in our plants, and I look forward to the day when we do not have the burden of the older type machines in any of our facilities. One Press Summary: Less labour + Higher productivity = Improved Safety and Profits!

Thanks for your visit. After I dropped you off at the airport, I came back to the shop, and we received an order for 5/8" F.E. slings that had to go out the next day air. Tator and I got right to work, and with the One Press, we were able to get the job done just before the UPS truck pulled up. This morning we did a 4-leg bridle, and Tator said the One-Press was his new best friend. Thanks for all your help!
