4. Though the Atlantic and Pacific applicator ram and base plate interfaces are different, most of the
OCEAN 2.0 features and adjustments are the same.
The terminal strip must be fed into the applicator with the wire barrels facing out; between the Front
(outer) and Rear (inner) Strip Guides. The terminal strip passes the Stock Drag, and the lead terminal
is positioned 1) over the Anvil for pre-feed applicators, or 2) one terminal length from the Anvil for
post-feed applicators. The Feed Pawl will feed one terminal during each cycle of the machine. The
Ram Post (also referred to as the Ram Mounting Post) will engage the Post Adapter of the machine
ram, and the machine ram will actuate the applicator.
The Wire Crimp Disc is located just below the ram post interface, which is designed with a spring-
loaded adjustment mechanism for precise crimp height adjustment in increments of 0.01 mm [.0004
in.]; with a total adjustment range of 1.45 mm [0.057 in.]. By rotating the Wire Crimp Disc, the ram
interface raises and lowers relative to the applicator housing. The indicator notch of the ram points to
the numbers on the outer diameter of the Wire Crimp Disc, indicating a relative crimp height.
The Wire Crimper is held in a pre-set position by the Ram and the Crimper Bolt. The Insulation
Crimper and the Front Shear Depressor are also held by the Crimper Bolt. The Insulation Crimper is
free to move up and down so the insulation crimp height can be adjusted via the Insulation Crimp Dial
by pulling the spring-loaded dial outward slightly and rotating to a different number.
The applicator mounting surface is the base plate. The Anvil, Front Shear Holder, Terminal Support,
Strip Guide Plate, and applicator housing are mounted on the base plate. The Stock Drag, and Front
and Rear Strip Guides are mounted on the Strip Guide Plate.
Terminals with dual-carrier strips
When terminals with dual-carrier strips are to be processed, an additional Shear Depressor, Rear
Shear Holder, and Rear Floating Shear are required. The Rear Shear Depressor will push the Rear
Floating Shear down to cut the terminal from the rear carrier strip and the Terminal Hold-Down will
keep the terminal from raising during the crimping and shearing process. The Rear Floating Shear
and Rear Shear Holder are mounted on the base plate.
