INSTRUCTIONS FOR ADJUSTING SHUT HEIGHT ON A 3BF (11-15-0000)
PRESS WHEN USING A MOLEX-ETC MTA-100 (19248-0072) APPLICA-
TOR WITHOUT REMOVAL OF PRESS FLY WHEEL GUARD
• Turn power off.
• Install correct ATP butting dies in MTA-100 (19248-0072) applicator.
• Open guard door.
• Observe that index lines on connecting rod and eccentric are lined up at 12:00
position.
• Using a 1/2" open-end wrench, rotate the crank shaft counterclockwise 1/2
turn so the index line of the eccentric is at 6:00 or the ram's lowest position.
• If the dies touch before index line reaches the 6:00 position, the press shut
height requires adjustment.
• This can be achieved as follows:
• Loosen the ball screw jaw nut and clamp set screw.
•
Raise or lower ram by rotating ball screw until desired shut height is
achieved. The electrical crimping dies marked E1 and E2 should touch or
butt when the ram is in its lowest position. In addition, at that point the ram
should be set so there is slight resistance when rotating the crank shaft with
the wrench.
• Tighten clamp screw and jam nut when this is accomplished.
• Follow through one more time and repeat the process using the wrench, being
sure the electrical dies butt and there is slight resistance at that point.
• Rotate crank shaft by turning wrench clockwise so index lines of connecting rod
and eccentric match at 12:00 position.
