4.8 Crimp Tooling Installation and Removal
Removal and Installation of Upper Tooling (Punches)
Caution: Always disconnect press power before installing or removing tooling.
Caution:
DO NOT
operate the applicator without guards in place.
Upper Tooling Removal
1.
Disconnect power to the press.
2.
Remove machine guards if necessary.
3.
Remove the two M4 screws from the punch cover on the ram.
4.
Remove the punch cover, and remove the punches. See Figure 4.8.1.
Note:
Some applicators have spring-loaded stuffers mounted between the insulation punch and front striker or between
the conductor and insulation punches. Make sure this tooling stays together.
Upper Tooling Installation
Note:
Always clean the mounting surfaces of crimp punches, other upper tooling and the ram pocket before
installation.
Reverse the previous steps to install the punches. The punches can be installed in only one direction, but they must be
installed in the correct order: conductor punch, conductor stuffer (if present), insulation punch and punch cover. The part
number markings on the punches must face the operator. See Figure 4.8.2.
