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
• Install mylar tape mounted terminals in the applicator and index the press
manually until the first terminal indexes in proper location within crimping die
nest. At this point press should be in the upward position so index lines of
connecting rod and eccentric match at 12:00 position.
• With press in upward position focus to rear of the MTA-100 (19248-0072)
applicator and adjust the index arm so flat position is approximately 1/32 of
an inch below the flat of the horizontal index tooth to the right or at the 3:00
position. This adjustment can be made by loosening the two socket head
screws at the top rear surface of the MTA-100(19248-0072). Make the
adjustment, which is necessary due to press variations; then re-tighten the
two set screws securely. Please note the sketch below for further clarification.
• If reaching the two socket head set screws is a problem because of interference
due to the frame of the 3BF (11-15-0000) press, it may be necessary to slide
the MTA-100 (19248-0072) forward, reverse it 180° and slide it back in
position. Exercising caution – the base is held down with the top surface of
applicator touching lower press ram surface – make the necessary adjustment
as described in the previous step. Reverse the applicator 180°, align, tighten
down base and post, and proceed to the next step.
• Press is now ready to operate under power.
