Split Cycle Operation
Description
Split cycle is only used for closed barrel terminals and helps locate the
terminal before crimping. The ram will close partially to assist in
locating the terminal. With the terminal located, the wire can be placed
into the terminal barrel and crimped. To set up the machine for split
cycle, flip the toggle switch on the control panel to “Split Cycle.” See
Figure 3-5.
Steps
1.
Press and release the foot pedal.Tthe ram will lower partially,
positioning the terminal for termination.
2.
Place the pre-stripped wire into the terminal barrel.
3.
Press and release the foot switch a second time. The ram will
complete its downward stroke and return to the top position to complete the cycle.
CAUTION:
Make sure the press guard is in position and all setup procedures are followed. Follow the safety and work
area instructions.
Split Cycle Ram Adjustment
When setting up an applicator for split cycle operation, it may be necessary to adjust the split position of the ram (first
position) so the terminal will be captured by the punch but not crimped. To change the split position, the sensor located on
the left side of the ram cover must be adjusted. See the following steps:
Steps
1.
With the terminals in the applicator,
depress the foot pedal once. See
where the crimp punch stops in the
split position.
2.
If the punch is too high and does
not hold the terminal or the punch
is too low and partially crimps the
terminal, the sensor needs to be
adjusted.
3.
Open the press guard.
4.
Loosen the two M12 jam nuts on
the split cycle sensor, located on
both sides of the sensor bracket.
Then, loosen the M4 jam nut holding the M4 socket head screw. Turn the M4 screw clockwise to raise (or counterclockwise
to lower) the sensor. See Figure 3-7. Raise the sensor if the punch is partially crimping the terminal, or lower the sensor if
the ram is not closing far enough to hold the terminal.
5.
Tighten the M4 jam nut and the two M12 jam nuts positioning the sensor for the split cycle position. See Figure 3-7.
6.
Close the press guard and press the “MOTOR ON” button. Press and release the foot pedal one more time to finish the
cycle from step 1.
7.
Repeat step 1 to check for the correct position of the ram.
