NOTE:
Check calibration after every 100 crimps.
PC707 CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
1. Before initiating calibration procedure, cycle crimper 5 times.
To cycle, dial in a setting of 2.00 and run crimper down to
shutoff with no die set loaded.
2. Install “733” die set to calibrate the machine using an
8G MegaCrimp
®
coupling.
3. Set digital readout setting to 5.20. (Rotating knob on
top of switch box clockwise will increase the number;
counterclockwise will decrease the number. When changing
the setting, always move to a higher number then down to the
desired setting. Example: To change from 5.00 to 5.20, move
dial up to 6.00 then down to 5.20.) The readout figures may
jump a number; i.e. 5.20 to 5.19 or 5.21. This will not affect
the crimp OD.
4. Insert coupling to crimp approximately 1/8” below top of die
and install die cone. (See photo 1).
5. Slide die cone assembly under ram and depress crimp
switch. Release switch immediately when machine stops.
6. Remove coupling and measure crimp diameter, which
should measure 1.000”±.003”. To properly measure crimp
diameter, refer to the Hose Assembly Guide instructions, Item
#9, at the beginning of this manual.
7. If coupling is not within1.000” (± .003”) of the crimp
diameter, adjust actuator rod (See photo 2).
8. To increase crimp OD – Hold 1-1/16” actuator rod while
loosening the 3/4” lock-nut. Rotate actuator rod clockwise
(one full turn of actuator rod is approximately 0.024” crimp
OD) then tighten lock-nut down. CAUTION: Do not overtighten
lock nut.
9. To decrease crimp OD – Hold 1-1/16” actuator rod while
loosening 3/4” lock nut. Rotate actuator rod counter
clockwise (One full turn of actuator rod is approximately
0.024” crimp OD) then tighten lock-nut down.
CAUTION – Do not overtighten lock-nut.
10.Repeat steps 3 through 7 to verify correct crimp OD.
CALIBRATION & ADJUSTMENT
PROCEDURES
ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURE
Should the actual crimp diameter NOT be within the tolerance
specified in the Crimp Data Charts, check the calibration of the
crimper. If the calibration is correct, a slight adjustment of the
digital readout may be necessary. To obtain a smaller crimp
diameter, change the digital readout to a smaller number, or
vice versa. Changing the digital readout by .05 (Example: 5.50
to 5.55) will change the crimp diameter by .001”.
