ALIBRATION
1.
Hand pressure of 15-25 lbs. is required to
cycle the tool with a nominal set of dies
installed. Astro has the AT903 spring tester
available for calibration purposes.
2.
If calibration of the hand pressure is required,
locate the adjustment screw in the Movable
Die Nest by closing the tool. Using a flat
blade screwdriver, rotate the screw to the right
to decrease the pressure, to the left to increase
the hand pressure. See figure #6.

When hand pressure calibration is achieved,
lock the screw in place using an appropriate
NON-PERMANENT sealant.

Astro Tool Corp. manufactures flat GO-NO
GO pin assemblies for many of the dies used
by the 613214 crimp tool. Contact the factory
for your specific requirements.
2.
With a die set properly installed, cycle the
tool into the fully closed position. Insert the
appropriate GO sized flat pin into the hex
cavity. It shall freely enter the hex cavity. See
figure #7. Remove the GO pin and attempt to
insert the NO-GO pin into the hex cavity. It
should not enter the cavity.
