5. TOOL INSPECTION
The procedures that follow have been established to
ensure the quality and reliability of seating tools. A
brief inspection should be made daily, and a more
detailed inspection should be scheduled regularly by
your Quality Control personnel.
5.1. User Maintenance
Each user should be made aware of, and responsible
for, the following:
1. Remove dust, moisture, and contaminants using
a clean brush or a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use
objects that could damage the seating tool.
2. Make sure all components are in place and
properly secured. If not, return the seating tool to
your supervisor.
3. Squeeze and release the cam handle to be sure
the mechanism inside the body moves freely and
does not bind.
5.2. Quality Control Maintenance
Regular inspections should be performed by your
Quality Control personnel, and a record of quality
control inspections should remain with the personnel
responsible for the tool.
We recommend one inspection a month; however,
operator training and skill, amount of use, ambient
working conditions, and your company's standards are
all factors to consider when establishing inspection
frequency.
These inspections should be performed in the
following sequence:
1. Remove any accumulated film with a suitable
cleaning agent that will not affect paint or
polycarbonate plastic.
2. Make sure all components are in place and are
tightly secured.
3. Make a few test seatings and inspect the results
using the inspection criteria in Application
Specification 114-25026.
6. REPAIR
A complete inventory of customer-replaceable parts
for the seating head tool should be stocked and
controlled to prevent lost time when replacement of
parts is necessary. See Figure 7. Order replacement
parts through your Tyco Electronics Representative, or
call 1-800-526-5142, or send a facsimile of your
purchase order to 1-717-986-7605, or write to:
