Section 1
The Tri-Star Technologies TAC Series of Vibratory Feed Bowl Crimpers are
devices which automatically crimp loose electrical contacts to electrical
conductors. This operation manual is for the TAC-17X model. Figure 1-1 is a
photograph of a TAC-17X as viewed from the front (operator) side. This
photograph gives a view of the cabinet housing, the feeder-bowls, the
escapement systems, and the crimping system.
TAC-17X requires no lubrication or preventive maintenance except to
periodically change the air filter or drain it. Crimp acceptability should be
verified in accordance with the user's normal practices.
lndenters used in the TAC-17X are qualified to the M22520 specification and
are of the highest quality, to ensure a substantial quantity of acceptable
terminations.
Reasonable care must be exercised, however, to prevent any foreign matter,
particularly hard substances, from being crimped. lndenters might be damaged
if subjected to crimping anything other than the contact specifically intended.
Under normal operating conditions, however, the control system precludes the
TAC from crimping anything other than the specific contact for which the
equipment is tooled.
