5. Adjustment of crimp depth
The crimp depth has to be adjusted as follows:
Adjusting screw turned clockwise for reducing of crimp depth and anticlockwise for increasing of crimp depth.
Adjustment tolerances
1 scale spacing on the screw = adjustment by 1/100 mm
1 full rotation of screw = adjustment by 0.2 mm (indication on the screw as well as on the rough scale)
5 rotations of the screw = adjustment by 1 mm (indication on the scale)
6. Gauging the crimp depth
Crimp tool adjustment is carried out in the factory. Gauging every working day is recommended to ensure accurate
calibration. This is easily accomplished with a GO–NOGO gauge (Ilme art. CCPNP RN) at ø 2.0 mm position. The
crimp depth of 2.00 mm is set by means of the adjusting screw (scale mark at „2“, screw mark at „0“ as shown in
the fig. above) and the tool is to close. In case the GO-side doesn’t go or the NOGO-side goes, i.e. the tolerances
required by the manufacturer are overstepped, please contact your distributor for action.
CAUTION:
Do not crimp onto the gauge when inserted or any other items that are not meant for the intended application! Do
not crimp on solid material exceeding 35 HRC
(e.g. steel)!
7. Maintenance and repair
Keep the tool clean and properly stored when not in use. The joints need to be oiled regularly and the circlips
securing the bolts should always be in place. For any repair, please return the tool to your distributor.
