A-7
Insulation edge under insulation crimp,
(with a good or wrong conductor brush length)
Cause:
Strip length too long.
Solution:
Verify strip length specification and adjust as necessary.
Adjust the wire stop.
A-8
Insulation edge under insulation crimp,
(with a short or no conductor brush length)
Cause:
1) Wire stop position incorrect.
2) Operator not consistently using the wire stop.
Solution:
1) Adjust the wire stop to center the insulation in the transition area.
2) Operator training, reduce crimping rate.
A.2 Conductor Bell Mouth and Terminal Cutoff Tab
A-2.1 Optimum crimp setup
Tooling was set up to produce conductor bell mouth to nominal specification
and/or approximately 1x to 2x terminal material thickness. The cutoff tab is
approximately 1x terminal material thickness.
A-2.2 Excessive bell mouth, cut-off tab flush with Insulation crimp
Cause:
1) Wrong conductor crimp tooling used.
2) Camber in the terminal strip.
Solution:
1) Verify that correct tooling is installed.
2) Adjust terminal track into the applicator.
A-2.3
No or small bell mouth, long cut-off tab
Cause
:
1) Wrong conductor crimp tooling used.
2) Camber in the terminal strip.
Solution:
1) Verify that correct tooling is installed.
2) Adjust terminal track towards the operator.
A-2.4
Excessive Bell mouth, good cut-off tab
Cause:
1) Worn conductor punch tooling.
2) Incorrect conductor punch tooling.
Solution:
Replace tooling if necessary
A-2.5
Excessive Cutoff Tab, Good Conductor Bell mouth
Cause:
1) Worn cutoff tooling.
2) Incorrect cut-off tooling.
Solution:
Replace tooling if necessary.
