ContiTech Unveils PC125i: The Next‑Gen Smart Service Crimper

ContiTech’s newest PC125i smart service crimper follows the 2024 PC160i, delivering precise hose assembly for both field and shop environments. Designed and manufactured in the United States, the PC125i delivers the reliability and performance expected from ContiTech’s high‑quality tooling.

Powered by CrimpIQ Pro Mode, the PC125i offers over‑the‑air firmware updates and a streamlined, digital interface that simplifies crimp specification selection. Operators can achieve consistent, repeatable results with minimal training—just three taps for a perfect crimp.

Its compact, lightweight chassis improves portability without compromising power, making it ideal for distributors and end users who demand flexibility and reliability in demanding applications.

“Launching the PC125i at the NAHAD conference in Indianapolis underscores our strategy of meeting customers where they are and delivering technology that directly supports how they operate every day,” said Jim Hill, Vice President of Distribution, Industrial Solutions Americas, ContiTech. “The PC125i is a clear example of how we’re aligning digital innovation, U.S.‑based manufacturing, and aftermarket‑focused solutions to help our distributors and end users stay competitive, reduce complexity, and create long‑term value across the hose lifecycle.”

The crimper is fully compatible with ContiTech’s traceability suite, including the long‑lasting CrimpCloud hose labeling system. QR‑code‑based digital connectivity streamlines after‑sales service, product authentication, and branding, while providing clear, durable identification that boosts resale opportunities in the aftermarket.

“With the PC125i, we’re finally bridging the gap between analog crimping in the service world and our most popular machine,” said Chad Peters, Product Manager, Industrial Solutions Americas, ContiTech. “This launch reflects our continued investment in solutions beyond rubber that takes the guesswork out of crimping, while maintaining the quality and reliability our customers expect from ContiTech.”

CrimpIQ’s Pro Mode is a game‑changer centered around the operator’s daily use. With OTA updates, the machine stays current, reducing downtime and enhancing usability over time. “Three taps to crimp with minimal training required is huge in the assembly world,” added Peters. “Our software approach makes it easy to create accurate and reliable assemblies without the confusion of entering multiple settings, giving operators confidence and eliminating human entry errors.”

Aligned with ContiTech’s vision to become the customer’s first choice for material‑driven solutions, the PC125i showcases the company’s commitment to close collaboration with customers and partners, emphasizing innovation, operational excellence, and long‑term support.

The PC125i is available through authorized ContiTech distributors. For additional product information, contact your local ContiTech sales representative or distribution partner.
