2. From the bottom of the base plate, loosen two
screws that hold the rear shear holder to the base
plate.
3. With the terminal strip inserted into applicator,
and the lead terminal centered over the anvil, move
the rear shear holder in the direction required to
obtain the proper cutoff tab.
4. Check that the shear is square to the end of the
terminal, and then tighten the holding screws.
5. Depress the floating shear and check for proper
shearing action and proper cutoff tab.
6. If necessary, repeat Steps 2 through 5 or check
for worn or damaged tooling.
6. REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT OF PARTS
These procedures cover the applicator parts which
most often need repair or replacement because of
wear. Remove the applicator from the machine before
doing any maintenance work. Refer to the exploded
view drawing and parts list packaged with the
applicator for identification of parts. Be sure to order
replacements for parts used from spare parts stock, so
that they will be available when needed.
NOTE
i
Wipe parts with a clean, dry cloth as they are
removed from the applicator. Then, when putting
them back into applicator, wipe mating surfaces
with your fingers to make sure that all lint and other
foreign matter have been removed.
6.1. Anvil Replacement
DANGER
STOP
To avoid personal injury, be SURE power to the
terminator is turned "off" and the power cord is
disconnected before removing the applicator.
1. With the power to the terminator "off," and the
power cord disconnected, open the terminator
guard doors and remove the applicator as
described in Paragraph 3.2.
2. Raise the terminal drag, raise feed pawl, and pull
strip back so lead terminal is between strip guides.
3. From bottom of base plate, remove screw that
holds anvil to base plate.
4. Remove anvil from groove in top of base plate.
5. Install anvil using reversed procedure. If a new
anvil is needed, be sure the part number of the new
anvil agrees with the number on the applicator parts
list.
NOTE
i
When the anvil is replaced, the front shear and
holder must be re-aligned. See Paragraph 5.6,A.
6. Re-align crimpers.
6.2. Floating Shear Replacement
(Side-Feed Through-Splice
Applicators Only)
NOTE
i
It is not necessary to remove shear holder(s) to
replace floating shear(s). Before removing floating
shear(s), note orientation for re-installation. The
floating shears are spring-loaded, so be careful
during removal.
DANGER
STOP
To avoid personal injury, be SURE power to the
terminator is turned "off" and the power cord is
disconnected before removing the applicator.
1. With the power to the terminator "off," and the
power cord disconnected, open the terminator
guard doors and remove the applicator as
described in Paragraph 3.2.
2. Raise the terminal drag , raise feed pawl, and pull
strip back so lead terminal is between strip guides.
3. Push down on the floating shear, then remove
shear retaining screw from side of shear holder.
4. Slowly release pressure on floating shear.
Compression spring will push it out of shear holder.
5. After removing floating shear, lift compression
spring out of shear holder.
6. Inspect spring for damage and replace it if
necessary. Refer to parts list for correct number.
7. Re-install floating shear(s) using reversed
procedure. If installing new shear, be sure part
number agrees with the number on the parts list.
8. Raise feed pawl and move lead terminal over the
anvil. Lower thew terminal drag to lower stock drag.
9. Check shear holder adjustment as described in
Paragraph 5.6, Adjustment of Shear(s) and Shear
Holder(s).
6.3. Crimper Replacement
DANGER
STOP
To avoid personal injury, be sure power to the
machine is turned "off" and the power cord is
disconnected BEFORE taking the applicator out of
the machine. The machine ram should be in the
raised position.
1. Turn off the terminator and disconnect power.
2. Open the guard doors to gain access to the
applicator.
3. Remove crimper bolt that holds the front shear
depressor, front shear depressor spacer, tubular
spacer, insulation crimper, crimper spacer, and wire
crimper in place on the ram assembly. Note position
of of parts for purposes of re-installation.
4. Replace parts.
5. Re-install parts in reversed order of removal.
