5. Make the insulation crimp adjustment described in Paragraph 5.2, then make several test cycles and
inspect the terminations closely. Look for rough or sharp edges around the crimped barrels (flash),
deformed crimps, bent terminals, or other defects caused by worn or broken tooling. If necessary,
replace tooling as described in Section 6.
—
If the terminations appear normal, measure the crimp height of each termination as described in Instruction Sheet
, packaged with the applicator. The crimp height must agree with the measurement specified on the applicator print
for the wire size being used. Record crimp height dimensions for reference.
—
If the crimp height is incorrect, remove the applicator, and install one that is known to produce terminations of correct
crimp height. Make several test cycles and repeat the inspection. If the crimp height is incorrect for this applicator, the
problem is the machine shut height, and corrective information can be found in the applicable 409 Series Customer
Manual. If the crimp height is correct, the problem is in the original applicator, and refer to Paragraph 6.7; Adjustable
Crimp Height Repair, for corrective measures.
6. During extensive operation, periodically inspect the terminals as described in Step 4 to make sure the
applicator is producing correct terminations.
B.
Wire Crimp Adjust Lock Position
1. The wire crimp height adjusts can be locked in position by changing the Detent Pin orientation (see
Figure 12).
Verify the setup dimension (distance from Crimper Seating Feature on the Ram) to the top of the
Crimp Height Adjust Head (see Figure 13).
NOTE
This distance is also provided on the Applicator Print.
Hold down the spring-loaded Detent Pin and turn the Adjust Head out of the Ram until the Detent
Pin can be removed.
DANGER
The spring-loaded pin can injure if released unexpectedly.
Invert the pin so the locking end will contact the Detent Plate and re-install the pin and spring.
While holding the pin down, turn the Adjust Head until the proper set-up dimension is reached.
Verify the crimp height as shown in Paragraph 5.1.A.
CAUTION
When changing crimp height while in the locked orientation, the spring-loaded Detent Pin must be depressed to rotate the
number ring, or damage will occur.
