2. DESCRIPTION
(See Figure 1)
Each die holder assembly consists of two
subassemblies: an upper die holder and a lower die
holder. A clear plastic guard assembly (not shown) is
also provided to protect the operator from possible
injury during the crimping operation.
The upper die holder subassembly consists of a die
holder, a die holding plate, and a ram adapter. The
upper plate is spaced from the ram of the power unit
by the ram adapter. The ram adapter is mounted to
the ram of the power unit with four socket head cap
screws (included with the die holder assembly).
The lower die holder subassembly consists of a die
holder, a die holding plate with a guide block, a
connector support bracket, and a cable clamp spring.
