6.3 Feed-finger travel adjustment
Applicators are assembled and adjusted prior to
despatch from JST and will not require adjustment by
customers. Please contact JST Technical Services
Department if you consider there is a problem with the
Pitch setting adjustment.
6.4 Crimp Height adjustment
The applicator has two dials to adjust the insulation and
wire crimp-height. The upper dial, marked with letters
A - H, is for the wire (conductor), crimp-height.
The lower dial, marked with numbers 1 - 8, is for the
insulation crimp height.
JST do not advise pad settings for wire sizes, as is the
practice of some manufacturers.
We believe that the best method to adopt is to specify
crimp-heights and adjust the dials until the desired crimp-
height is achieved.
º Wire crimp-height
(conductor) adjustment.
Setting the upper dial to graduation A produces the
tightest crimp-height (lowest), and graduation H the
least tight (highest). The crimp height alters by
approximately 0.05mm per graduation, so a total
range of adjustment of 0.40mm is attainable.
º Insulation crimp-height adjustment.
Setting the lower dial to graduation 1 produces the
tightest crimp-height (lowest), and graduation 8
the least tight (highest). The crimp-height alters by
approximately 0.10mm per graduation, so a total
range of 0.80mm is attainable.
We do not state insulation crimp-heights due to the
large variation of insulation types available. The
insulation should be set as per instructed in the JST
Crimping Manual supplied with the AP-K2N crimping
machine. If you require further copies, please contact
the JST Technical Services Department.
CAUTION
When initially installing the applicator in the
press, ensure that the dials are set at H - 8 to
avoid the possibility of tooling damage.
Always check the crimp-height of the terminal by use of a
Crimp-height Micrometer because they are designed
specifically for the purpose and indicate the true crimp-
height. If you require details for the supply of a crimp-
height micrometer please contact JST Technical
Services Department.
If the applicator is not capable of achieving the desired
crimp-height by adjusting the dials, please contact the
JST Technical Services Department, because there is a
range of blocks available to alter the range of crimp
heights available. If you specify the blocks currently
installed in your applicator (see ‘Exploded view’ supplied
with applicator), we can advise you of the part no of the
replacement blocks necessary to achieve the desired
crimp-height.
Do not adjust the crimp-height by altering the shut-height
of the AP-K2N press, because it is factory set and should
only require occasional adjustment when serviced by the
JST Service Engineer.
