7.3. Wire Stop Vertical Lift Adjustment
(Figure 19)
As the ram rises after crimping the product, the wire stop clears the crimped product from the moving (upper)
die before the next product is advanced into the crimping position. If the wire stop does not clear the product
from the upper die, products will jam in the die and may cause damage to the dies.
Should a jam occur, IMMEDIATELY shut down the machine until the jam has been cleared. Remove the dies, as
described in Section 8, and inspect them for possible damage after a jam has occurred.
To avoid personal injury, be sure to turn off the machine and disconnect the machine from the power supplies.
1. Remove guards from front and left side of the machine.
The ram lift pin will bend after the first cycle of operation. Replace the pin only if it is broken.
2. Lower the tape release lever, then hand–cycle machine as described in Section 4 until ram is fully
raised.
3. Loosen the locknut on the adjustment screw, then turn adjustment screw until the screw head touches
the machine frame and wire stop lift plate touches the ram lift pin. Tighten the locknut to secure the
adjustment screw.
