Track Guides
The applicator’s terminal track uses two adjustable guides. See Figure 4.4.1:
Feed Pawl Guide:
The slot in the feed pawl guide is aligned to pilot holes in the terminal carrier strip and
provides feed pawl guidance. See Figure 4.4.2.
Terminal Guide:
The terminal guide steers the terminal strip through the track to maintain consistent crimp
bellmouth and cut-off tab. See Figure 4.4.1.
Feed Pawl Guide Adjustment
1.
Remove the applicator from the press.
2.
Remove the terminal guide.
3.
Turn the drag brake off (turn the drag brake knob until the dot is up), and load a short section of terminals in the
track.
4.
Make sure the terminal carrier is against the track lip, and turn the drag brake on (turn the drag brake knob until
the dot is down). This holds the terminal strip in place.
5.
Look straight down into the feed pawl guide slot. The slot must be centered to the centerlines of the pilot holes
in the terminal carrier strip. See Figure 4.4.2.
6.
If the guide needs adjustment, loosen the two M3 button head screws, and move the guide forward or backward
until the slot is centered.
7.
Tighten the two M3 button head screws.
Caution:
Do not overtighten. Button head screws strip if overtightened. Just make the screws snug.
Terminal Guide Adjustment
1.
Remove the applicator from the press.
2.
Turn the drag brake off (turn the drag brake knob until the dot is up), and load a short section (150mm or 6”) of
terminals in the track.
3.
Use a 2.5mm hex wrench to loosen the three M3 screws holding the guide. See Figures 4.4.3 and 4.4.4.
