Read this manual thoroughly before operating the terminating machine. The performance of this terminating
machine will depend largely upon the intelligent use of the information contained in this manual.
2. DESCRIPTION
2.1. Functional
AMP-O-LECTRIC Model "G" terminating machines are designed to accept a variety of end-feed and side-feed
miniature applicators, as well as applicators that are used with the AMP-O-LECTRIC Model "K" terminating
machines and Model "T" terminating machines.
NOTE
i
— The
motor-pulley group
includes an ac motor which drives a pulley by a toothed belt. The motor is
activated each cycle, rotating the crankshaft through a partial or full revolution, depending on the full-cycle
and/or split-cycle setting.
— The
crankshaft-ram group
converts the motor pulley rotational force to the up-and-down action of the
ram for driving the applicator during the crimping cycle.
— The
base plate
provides the mounting surface on which the applicator is installed. The quick-release
applicator base clamp permits fast, easy installation and removal of the applicator.
— The
manual precision adjustment lever
uses an eccentric located in the ram linkage and a lever with
detented stops to adjust the crimp height. Moving the precision adjustment lever in either direction will
change the crimp height in increments of 0.0127 mm [.0005 in.] per step.
An automatic precision adjustment feature is also available on terminating machines that are used with machines
equipped with a crimp quality monitor (CQM). The automatic precision adjustment feature performs the same function as
the manual precision adjustment lever.
2.2. Electrical
The electrical components of each terminating machine consists of an operator control panel, a motor, and a CPU/
motor controller package. Each terminating machine operates on 100-220 Vac, 50/60 Hz, single-phase current
and will automatically detect the supply voltage and adjust the controller accordingly. A main power switch/circuit
breaker (which connects the ac power to the control system) is located on the top left side of the terminating
machine. Refer to Figure 2 for terminating machine specifications and capabilities.

Figure 2
The operator control panel, shown in Figure 3, is mounted to the frame of the terminating machine. The control
panel consists of a 16-character display and five buttons marked with icons depicting each function. The display
shows total machine cycles and a batch count. A remote operator control panel is attached to the reel support
post which can be adjusted for easy access and visibility.
!
CAUTION
DO NOT plug the terminating machine into an electrical outlet while the machine's power switch is turned ON. A high
inrush of current can cause sparking at the plug and may cause the plug to weld to the electrical outlet.
