Conductor Crimp Punch Adjustment
1. With the guards in place, insert a stripped length of specified wire into the terminal and terminate the wire under
power. Refer to the terminal specification sheet supplied with the terminator die.
2.
Examine the quality of the initial conductor crimp and measure the crimp height (See Appendix A: Crimp
Terminations).
3.
Power down the press and remove the guards as described in Section 3.1.1, steps 1 and 2.
4.
Loosen the M6 conductor adjustment lock screw located on the front of the punch plate. See Figure 3-15.
5.
With a screwdriver, turn the conductor adjusting screw located on the right side of the punch plate. Rotating the
adjusting screw clockwise one full turn will lower the crimp height approximately .03mm (.001"). Each increment in
the reference window represents approximately .13.00mm (.005") for a total adjustment of .65.00mm (.026"). The
"1” setting, on the Conductor Adjustment Indicator, equates to the largest crimp height and the “6” setting is the
smallest.
6.
Tighten the M6 locking screw.
7.
Replace the machine guards and repeat the above steps until the desired crimp height is obtained (See Appendix
A, Crimp Terminations).
8.
Perform a pull force test to verify the mechanical integrity of the crimp. (See Appendix A, Crimp Terminations).
