3.
Put a regular screwdriver through the hole in the lock screw and turn the adjusting screw to position the terminal in the
correct location. See Figure 2-7. Turning the screw clockwise will move the track towards the operator; to move the track
towards the applicator turn the screw counterclockwise. Depending on the amount of movement, the feed finger mount may
need to be loosened and readjusted. See Feed Finger adjustment.
7
To lock the track in position, tighten the M10 lock screw.
8
If the feed finger mount was loosened during the track positioning, remember to tighten its mounting screw.
9
Replace machine guards.
10
Hand cycle the press to ensure the terminal is positioned properly on the anvils and does not have an excessive cutoff tab.
Also, verify the terminal feed operation.
11
Restore power to the press, crimp a terminal under power, and observe the quality of the termination.
12
Repeat the above steps until the desired terminal position is obtained.
Feed Finger Adjustments
1.
Position the feed finger to properly feed the next terminal in
position. Typically, terminals are fed by the carrier strip.
2.
Depending on the feed cam installation (pre-feed or post-
feed), move the press ram until the feed is forward (this makes
the feed finger mount more accessible), and then disconnect
power from the press. Remove the machine guards if
necessary.
3.
Using a 2.5mm hex wrench, loosen the M3 SHCS located on
the feed finger mount. While holding the feed finger lever
down slightly, slide the feed finger to the desired position. See
Figure 2-8.
4.
If the feed finger mount cannot be moved far enough, remove
the M3 SHCS completely and install it in another tapped hole
in the feed finger lever. In addition, the feed finger mount can be reversed (the feed finger must be reversed as well) to gain
additional adjustment.
5.
Tighten the M3 SHCS to lock the feed finger in position.
Feed Stroke Cam Adjustments
1.
The terminal feed stroke is driven by a cam mounted to the applicator
ram. Two feed cams are shipped with the applicator. The standard cam
is installed in the applicator. The spare cam is for presses with short
strokes (for example, 28mm). Using the standard cam with a short-
stroke press may result in insufficient feed stroke or incorrect feed
timing.
2.
Determine what feed timing is desired. Typically, when the applicator is
mounted in a wire processing machine, the feed stroke cam should be
assembled in the down stroke position. While the press is idle in the up
position, a terminal will not be present over the anvil. For most bench
applications, the cam is installed in the up stroke position. This will leave
a terminal over the anvil when the press is idle in the up position. See
Figure 2-9.
3.
Turn off and disconnect the power supply from the press. Remove the
machine guards if necessary.
4.
Remove the applicator from the press. See Applicator Installation and
Removal.
5.
Pull back on the feed pivot lever and remove the ram from the applicator.
6.
Holding on to the ram, use a 3mm hex wrench to remove the M4 SHCS
holding the cam on the back of the ram.
7.
Position the cam in the desired position for feeding and attach with the M4 screw. See Figure 2-9.
