19.5.1 Crimp the Quick Disconnects
CAUTION
Do not close tool handles when locator slide is positioned between crimping
jaws - damage to the tool jaws and / or locator slide may result.
CAUTION
NOTE
The procedures for crimping and using quick disconnect terminal ends are
identical for both the Melt-CUBE design A and the Melt-CUBE design B.
Select the appropriate loose-piece contact and identify the crimp cavity
according to the wire size markings on the tool.
1. Hold tool so wire side is facing you. Make sure ratchet is released.
Squeeze tool handles together and allow them to open fully.
2. Grasp locator and simultaneously move locator toward anvil jaws and
push locator slide into crimper jaws. Spring tension will hold locator
position against crimper jaws.
3. Insert contact mating end into appropriate hole in locator slide. Orient
contact so wire barrel and insulation barrel are facing crimper jaws (wire
size markings).
4. Pull locator slide out of crimping jaws. Spring tension will pull locator
down and allow wire stop to enter the slot between barrel and contact
shoulder.
5. Make sure both sides of the insulation barrel are started evenly into the
crimper jaws. Do not crimp an improperly positioned contact.
6. Squeeze tool handles together until ratchet engages. Do not deform
insulation barrel or wire barrel.
7. Insert properly stripped wire contact into the wire barrel until wire butts
against the wire stop.
8. Holding wire in place, squeeze tool handles together until ratchet
releases. Allow tool handles to open fully. Move locator toward anvil jaws
and remove crimped contact.
19.5.2 Assemble the System with Quick Disconnects
1. Connect the female and male connector pins.
2. Screw male sleeve into female sleeve.
19.5.3 Assemble Melt-CUBE into Cavity Block
If the system has been running:
1.
Make sure water to the cover plate is off, then remove the cover plate.
2. Turn on cooling to the rest of the plates, especially the cavity plates.
NOTE
Mold-Masters
recommends a separate cooling circuit for the cover plate,
to be able to assemble and disassemble it without affecting other cooling
circuits.
