Danfoss ET5070, Operator'S Manual, Page: 21 / 96

The position encoder system (6) records the current position of the
die system and transfers the value to the control system.
Data records may be saved in the item memory and recalled at any
time in the control system. Depending on the operation mode, the ac-
tual forming process is controlled via the buttons on the control panel
(5).
Crimping tool
The die system comprises base dies, intermediate dies (depending
on the application) and crimping dies.
There are two different types of base dies; the master dies (1) are lo-
cated on the positions 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock, 9 o'clock and 12 o'clock.
The secondary dies (2) are located in between. All base dies are
mounted on slide plates. The crimping dies (3) and the intermediate
dies (4), if any, are plugged onto the basic crimping dies. The inter-
mediate dies (4) are needed if small work pieces are to be formed on
a large machine.
After the forming process, the base dies are pressed apart by the
pressure springs (6) when the machine opens. The guiding plates (5)
guide the base dies axially in the machine.
3.2 Accessories
The machine may be fitted with accessories. A list of the available ac-
cessories is included in the Annex, Section "Accessories".
