AP-F6 PNEUMATIC CRIMPING MACHINE
Step 5.
Replace the terminals in the Index wheel,
re-connect the air and electricity supplies,
and refit the Safety Guard.
7. CRIMPING MACHINE MAINTENANCE
7.1 Lubrication
Ensure that the ram is regularly lubricated
with a general purpose machine oil
(approximately once every week).
7.2 Cleaning
The crimping dies are chrome plated, and
as a result they require polishing at regular
intervals with a good quality metal polish to
ensure that the terminals do not become
stuck in the punches due to a build-up of
deposits. If the deposits are not removed,
the terminals may become bent during the
stripping operation.
7.4 Filter Regulator adjustment
The air pressure on the Filter Regulator is
factory set to 0.6 MPa before despatch.
If the pressure is not set to this figure, the
regulator will require adjustment using the
following method:-
Pull the knob on top of the regulator in an
upward direction and rotate in either a
clockwise or counter-clockwise direction
until the gauge reads the correct pressure.
Push the knob down to lock it in position
once the correct pressure is achieved.
7.3 Shut Height Adjustment
The shut height of the press is factory set so
that when the ram is at Bottom Dead Centre,
the conductor crimp dies are closely touching to
ensure that the correct crimp height is
achieved.
If the linkage becomes worn it is possible that
the shut height will not be correct and the crimp
height will fluctuate.
If this problem occurs, contact the J.S.T.
Technical Services Department, because the
setting of the crimp height requires special
tooling.
