7. Inspect the detent plate for wear in the areas the detent pin contacts. Replace the plate if these
areas around the ring are broken.
NOTE
In some cases, the detent plate can be rotated or flipped over so that the detent pin contacts a new (unused) section.
8. Reassemble, keeping the three M3 screws loose to allow the disc to rotate on the head.
9. Apply grease to the detent plate to lubricate the detent pin contact surface.
10. After reinstalling the crimp head assembly and detent pin, rotate the head assembly until the
proper set-up dimension is reestablished.
11. Turn the wire crimp disc to the ring stop. The number ring should indicate 0 (zero).
12. Torque the three M3 flat-head screws to 6-8 lbf-in [0.7-0.9 Nm].
13. Verify proper crimp height (see section 5.1).
Recalibrating the crimp height adjustment mechanism
If the crimp height adjust mechanism has been removed for any reason, it
must
be re-calibrated. The
applicator print lists the proper setup dimension for the applicator. To perform a ram fine adjustment
calibration:
1. Loosen the three M3 flat-head screws on the wire crimp disc. The disc must freely rotate on the
head.
2. Using calipers, measure the distance between the crimp height adjustment head and the crimper
seating feature on the ram (see Figure 14).
3. Rotate the head assembly up or down to achieve the measurement listed on the applicator print.
NOTE
As the head rotates, the wire crimp disc should remain free to rotate relative to the head assembly. The detent/locking pin
prevents continued disc rotation.
4. Turn the wire crimp disc against the detent/lock pin to the 0 (zero) position.
5. Torque the three M3 flat-head screws to 6-8 lbf-in [0.7-0.9 Nm].
DANGER
Do not
cycle the applicator under power until you have calibrated it to the proper setup dimension. Doing so can injure people
near the machine and damage the applicator.
6.7.
Aligning the applicator housing to the base plate
Each applicator is properly aligned at the factory, and the base plate bolts are sealed. However, it is possible to
misalign the applicator housing from the base plate by mishandling or dropping the applicator. If the applicator
becomes misaligned, contact a TE field service representative or order an end-feed applicator alignment gage
(part number 2161422-3).
When aligning the applicator, make sure to torque the base plate screws (and, if needed, the gib screws) to the
proper specification. Torque the base plate screws to 11.298 Nm [100 in.-lbs] and the gib screws to 5.649 Nm
[50 in.-lbs].
