maintenance be kept with the press.
3.3 Spare Parts
Customers are responsible for maintaining the FineAdjust Applicator. Spare parts are available. Moving and
functioning parts can be damaged or wear out over time and will require replacement. Molex recommends that the
customer keep some or all of them in stock to reduce production down time.
3.4 Perishable Parts
Customers are responsible for maintaining the FineAdjust Applicator. Perishable parts are those parts that come in
contact with the product and will wear out over time. Molex recommends that all customers keep at least one set of the
perishable tool kits in stock at all times. This will reduce the amount of production down time.
For the proper
perishable tool kit information, refer to the Crimp Tooling Specification Sheet supplied with the Applicator.
Tooling Replacement Schedule
The following is offered as a general guideline for tooling replacement. The manufacturer should monitor the process
and collect data on actual frequency as tool wear varies on different terminal materials and tool life can be increased
with good maintenance practices or decrease with lack of maintenance.
