The miniature applicator is an integrated assembly consisting of upper tooling, lower tooling, and adjustment
capability. The applicator requires a fixed shut height; that is, the distance between the bottom of the ram and the base
mount when the ram is FULLY bottomed. The required adjustments for crimp height are made by using the wire and
insulation discs within the applicator. Refer to the instruction sheet supplied with the applicator for adjustment
procedures.
6.2. Crimp Height Adjustment Using Precision Adjustment Mechanism
(Refer to Figure 12)
To avoid damaging the applicator, ALWAYS return the precision adjustment lever to the 0" position when finished
using the applicator.
1. Adjust the manual precision adjustment lever to “0” by pulling the lever away from the pivot pin. Lock
the lever in place by releasing it.
2. Install the applicator into the machine as described in Paragraph 4.2.
3. Cycle the machine to crimp three sample terminations. Check the crimp height of the samples. If the
crimp heights are not correct, adjust the crimp height as follows:
a. move the precision adjustment lever to the right to increase the crimp height; or
b. move the precision adjustment lever to the left to decrease the crimp height.
Moving the precision adjustment lever in either direction will change the crimp height by approximately 0.013 mm
[.0005 in.] per step.
4. Repeat Step 3 until the appropriate crimp height is obtained.
To avoid damaging the applicator, ALWAYS return the manual precision adjustment lever to the 0" position when
finished using the applicator.
