2. DESCRIPTION
The AMP 3K and AMP 5K terminators are motor driven machines. Equipped with the microprocessor controlled,
pneumatically operated DCC unit, the terminator will cut off a bad termination after a crimp quality monitor
(CQM) analyzes the crimp and determines it to be defective. The DCC unit also features a carrier scrap chopper
which will cut the carrier strip of side feed applicators when they are equipped with a special shear that will allow
a continuous strip to feed out of them.

2.2. Functional Description
The DCC unit consists of two functional areas, the
grip transfer assembly
, and the
carrier scrap
cut (CSC)
assembly.
The grip transfer assembly performs the function of holding onto the wire after the footswitch is pressed until the
crimp is analyzed as either good or bad. If the crimp is analyzed as good, it is released. If the crimp is analyzed
as bad, it is cut off, then released.
The grip transfer assembly also transports the wire from the crimping area to the wire cut blades during bad
crimp cut off.
The grip transfer assembly contains a gripping mechanism that slides up and down to allow the tonk rod to lower
the wire into the crimp area of the terminal during the crimping process. The grip mechanism contains a fixed
lower wire jaw and an movable upper wire jaw driven by the gripper cylinder. A pressure regulator for the gripper
allows the operator to adjust the gripper pressure so that it doesn't damage the wire insulation.
The carrier scrap cut assembly performs the function of cutting off a terminal after the CQM has determined the
crimp to be defective. It also can cut the carrier strip of side feed applicators that do not cut the carrier strip.
The CSC (see Figure 15) assembly consists of an air cylinder that drives a carrier chop blade through a lever.
The carrier chop blade moves up and down and drives the wire chop blade. When the carrier chop blade closes,
it opens the wire chop blade. When the carrier chop blade opens, it closes the wire chop blade.
The CSC assembly is mounted on a pivot and can hinge out of the way for applicator change.
