Sample
Use the Sample mode to make sample crimps to setup the process. In this task you will install the applicator,
load product, and run your initial crimps to set terminal feed and crimp height. The CQM II will graph a crimp
curve (provided the force is sufficient) but will not be analyzing the crimp. The graph is only for reference
purposes. If the CQM II is connected to a G-terminator that has a crimp height auto-adjust motor, the Sample
screen will provide buttons to touch to increase or decrease the crimp height. Touch the Calculate Head Room
button if you want to perform a quick check of your wire and terminal to see how good the Head Room will be.
Refer to Paragraph 2.8 for an explanation of Head Room.
Basically, once you have the system properly set up with the correct crimp height, to perform a Quick
Headroom Check, produce a good crimp with a stripped wire, and then produce a crimp that only has insulation
(non- stripped) in the insulation crimp). If this part has not been calibrated before you may need to produce a
Gain crimp.
After you are satisfied that the quality of the crimp meets your requirements, you can move on to calibrate the
crimp.
Touch the Calibrate arrow or the right arrow icon to move to the next task.
