RY16 Mini Crimper Calibration
The Crimper Vernier Dial has been factory set. If calibration is required, use the following procedure in conjunction with Figure 8.
1. Slightly close the master dies.
2. Set the dial to -0.2 position.
3. Remove the Vernier protective cover plate (where fitted).
4. Loosen the lock nut (1).
5. Turn the adjusting sleeve (2) to the left until it come off the micro switch.
6. Turn the adjusting sleeve (2) to the right until the crimp LED light is activated.
7. Tighten the lock nut (1) without rotating the adjusting sleeve (2).
8. Calibration is completed. Perform a crimp cycle with the dial in the 0.0 position and measure the crimped diameter.
9. If the crimped diameter is smaller than required size, rotate the adjusting sleeve (2) to the right towards the micro switch.
10. If the crimped diameter is larger than required size, rotate the adjusting sleeve (2) to the left away from the micro switch.
11. After the correct crimp diameter is achieved re-tighten the lock nut (1) without rotating the adjusting sleeve (2).
12. Replace the Vernier protective cover plate (where fitted).
Micro Switch
Problem
Possible Cause
Solution
Pump does not work,
crimper can't close
1.
Low Air Pressure
Check air line pressure.
2.
Blocked Air Passage
Check bore of air piston for contamination and
lubrication.
Pump works, crimper can't
be closed
1.
Low Oil Level
Check oil.
2.
Air in Oil Line
Press down switch valve (air) and push the foot
pedal to position "Release" at the same time.
Pump works, unloaded
crimper dies opens too
slowly
1.
Blocked Oil Return Line
Check hose assembly for kinks.
2.
Dry Crimper Cones
Grease crimper cones.
Pump works, crimper
closed, but the pump
doesn't produce the
max. pressure.
1.
Low Air Pressure
Check air pressure: 8.5 bar / 120 psi is necessary
to get the max. operating pressure.
2.
Oil Leaks
Check for oil leaks.
A system failure may or may not be the result of a pump malfunction. Determining the cause of the problem is the key objective.
