Overview
Standard operation includes a series of automated functions:
1. Cutting and stripping the outer insulation
2. Flaring the braid
3. Inserting the mandrel
4. Cutting and stripping the braid
5. Cutting and stripping the inner insulation
Before the machine can operate, at least one article must be created. These functions can be created and
modified by means of the User Interface (see section 5.2).
1. The cycle starts when a cable is inserted the through the cable tunnel and moved forward until the
cable end contacts the auto sensor.
If Auto Start is enabled, the cycle initiates when the cable contacts the sensor.
If Auto Start is not enabled, the operator must press the manual cycle start button to start the cycle.
CAUTION
Verify that the cable size you are using matches the article on the machine. Using the wrong size cable can result in damage
to tooling, machine, and cable.
2. The cable grip jaws close around the cable. The cable sensor and cable tunnel move out of the way.
The cable is moved automatically into the blade area. The machine executes the Articles process
steps.
3. After the cycle is complete, the gripper moves the cable toward the front of the machine and opens the
gripper jaws, allowing the cable to be removed from the machine.
