8.
Confirm that the applicator is secured properly.
9.
Remove ram spacer before hand cycling the press.
Note:
A ram spacer should be used when storing or transporting an applicator. Remove ram spacer prior to hand cycling the
press, and replace it before removing the applicator from the press to avoid potential damage to the tooling.
10.
Disconnect the air supply to the filter-regulator-lubricator by sliding the shutoff valve sleeve toward the back of the press,
as shown in Figure 3-2. Remove the plugs from the fittings on the air valve. Do not discard the plugs; when the air
applicator is not being used, the fittings should be plugged.
Note:
If not using an air feed applicator, always shut off
the air supply to the filter-regulator-lubricator by sliding
the shutoff valve sleeve away from the press, as shown
in Figure 3-2.
Note:
Some applicators feed terminals in the retracted
position; for those, air tubes must be reversed. In
addition, some applicators are air advance and spring
return; on those applicators, one valve port will need to
be plugged.
11.
Insert port “A” of the air valve with the tube that retracts the
feed mechanism of the applicator. See Figure 3-3.
12.
Insert port “B” of the air valve with the tube that advances
the feed mechanism of the applicator. See Figure 3-3.
Note:
When using the 64016-2000 crimp module, set the feed selector on the control panel to “SINGLE” or “DOUBLE”,
depending on the spacing of the taped terminals. See Figure 3-5.
13.
Connect the main air supply to the filter reg-
lubricator by sliding the sleeve toward the
press.
14.
Adjust the regulator to the recommended
pressure for the applicator.
15.
Check that the tubing for the applicator is
properly connected by dry cycling the press
and observing the feed motion. The terminals
should feed while the press ram is going up.
If the feed motion is incorrect, reverse the
tubing at the valve and check again.
Note:
The air valve will not operate if the press is being hand cycled. The air valve operates only during normal press cycles
with motor power.
