2. DESCRIPTION
The AMP 3K/40 and AMP 5K/40 Terminating Machines were designed to be used as stand–alone
semi–automatic bench units. The SL Starlite Crimp Quality Monitor provides 100% inspection of the crimping
process.
They are assembled with metric hardware. Although, some commercial items may contain non–metric
hardware.
Measurements are in metric units [followed by U.S. customary units in brackets] unless otherwise indicated.
These machines accepts a wide variety of miniature (mini) quick–change applicators, with minor adjustments,
thus providing a great selection of terminals for many applications. Figure 3 lists changeover cams required to

2.1. Functional Description
A. Machine Functional Areas
These machines provide the force required to crimp terminals in the applicator. A terminal is attached to
the wire by placing the wire in the crimp area and pressing the foot switch. During the crimping process,
data is collected from the frame sensor by the SL Starlite monitor and evaluated. If the crimp is
determined to be “Good,” the operator can continue with the next crimp. If the crimp is determined to
“Bad,” the machine can not be cycled until the Bad Crimp error has been cleared on the monitor.
The machine consists of four functional areas:
1. The
motor group includes a dc motor which drives a crankshaft. The motor is activated each cycle
and rotates the crankshaft one full revolution. A motor access cover, located on the end of the motor,
covers a hex key which allows the motor to be cycled manually. See Figure 4.
2. The
crankshaft–ram group converts the motor rotational force to the up–and–down action of the
ram for driving the applicator during the crimping cycle.
3. The
base plate provides the mounting surface on which the applicator is installed. The quick–release
latching feature on Machines –15, –16, and –19, through –24 permit fast, easy installation and removal
of the applicator. Note that Machines –17 and –18 do not include the quick–release latching feature.
See Figure 5.
