Stripping Module 1490503-[ ] and 1490501-[ ]
409-10029
4. OPERATION
4.1. Control Panel
The stripping module is operated using the control panel shown in Figure 9.
4.2. Applicator Setup and Installation
A. Side-Feed/End-Feed Applicator Preparation
Prepare side–feed applicators for use with the stripping module by removing the applicator wire stop.
Prepare end–feed applicators for use by removing the applicator wire stop and moving the track–mounted
“hold down” back as far as possible.
Install the applicator onto the terminator (Paragraph 4.2,C). Adjust the wire brush and strip length and
check for any interferences. If interference with the track–mounted “hold down” exists, remove the
track–mounted “hold down.”
B. Terminal Sticking Elimination/Prevention
Certain types of terminals are more likely to stick in the crimpers than other types. In many types of
application equipment, the wire stop acts as a terminal stripper. When using the stripping module,
however, the wire stops must be removed.
Besides removing the applicator wire stop, the following methods may be used to eliminate/prevent
terminal sticking:
S Use a terminal lubricator.
S Use a spring–loaded, ram–mounted wire depressor mounted between the crimper and the wire
barrel crimper.
S Use a ram–mounted terminal “hold–down” commonly found on end–feed applicators.
C. Applicator Installation/Removal
It may be necessary to install the applicator from either the left side or the right side of the gripper
mechanism, depending on the applicator and type of product being run. Instructions for installing the
applicator from the left side and the right side are listed below.
To remove the applicator, disconnect power to the machine and remove in reverse order of installation.
Left-Side Installation
DANGER
To avoid personal injury, be sure to disconnect power to the terminating machine and stripping module before installing
or removing the applicator.
1. Slide the stripping module and movable part of the transfer assembly to the right side position.
2. Remove the tonk rod from the ram post adapter.
3. Loosen the screw holding the scrap deflector and rotate the scrap deflector toward the front of the
machine.
4. Loosen the applicator latch on the machine base plate and push it out of the way.
5. From the left side of the gripper assembly, tilt the applicator and place it in position on the base plate.
6. Slide the applicator ram into the ram post of the terminating machine.
7. Place the left (applicator) latch on the terminator into the slots on the applicator base plate.
8. Lift the right (applicator) latch and tighten against the applicator base plate.
9. Rotate the scrap deflector back against the applicator base plate and tighten the hold down screws
10. Install the tonk into the ram post adapter.
11. Manually cycle the terminating machine and stripping module to verify fit, clearance, and proper
operation.
