Punch and Anvil Alignment
The following procedure will align the punch and anvil profiles.
1.
Power down the press and remove the guards as described in
Section 3.1.1, steps 1 and 2.
2.
With a terminal in position over the anvils, slightly loosen the front
and/or back anvil mounting screws (See Figure 3-8) and center
carrier cut-off tooling when applicable. See Figure 3-1.
3.
Slowly hand cycle the ram of the press to the bottom of its stroke.
4.
In this position, tighten the anvil mounting screws and center
carrier cut-off tooling when applicable to ensure proper alignment
of punches, anvils, and cut-off tooling.
3.4
Feed Finger Adjustment
1.
Power down the press and remove the guards as
described in Section 3.1.1, steps 1 and 2.
2.
Loosen the terminal feed finger shaft locking screw
(M4) and slide the feed finger shaft in or out. See
Figure 3-9.
3.
Position the feed finger to pick up the best feeding
position. This may differ from terminal to terminal.
Typically, terminals are fed via carrier strip holes or by
the tab between the insulation terminal section and the
carrier strip.
4.
With a small screwdriver, rotate the feed finger shaft
CW to increase or CCW to decrease spring tension on
the feed finger. Tighten the feed finger shaft locking
screw to lock the feed finger in position. See Figure 3-
10.
5.
Cycle the press by hand (See Section 3.7) to be certain that the feed finger transfers the next terminal to be aligned
over the anvil.
6.
Check that all other parts slide and engage without any
interference.
7.
Repeat this procedure several times.
8.
If a manual cycle cannot be completed, or the terminal is not
positioned over the anvil, refer to Sec 3.4 to 3.7.
3.5
Forward Feed Adjustment
A forward or backstroke feed adjustment may be necessary if the
terminal is not centered over the anvil during the manual cycle.
1.
Power down the press and remove the guards as described in
Section 3.1.1, steps 1 and 2.
2.
To check the forward feed position, the terminal being crimped
should be positioned exactly over the anvil and the ram in the
up position.
