CAUTION
!
Over- tightening the cam setscrew may damage
the setscrew or cam.
NOTE
i
Removal is the reverse of installation.
4. Properly align tool holder ratchet pawl with the
cam teeth and push tool holder onto power unit so
that it passes over the friction ring on the power
unit piston. See Figure 2.
3.2. Crimp Head Adapter and Crimping Die Installation
Refer to the instruction sheet packaged with the crimp
head adapter for the particular product to be crimped.
5. Slide power unit locking ring toward tool holder
until it butts against the stop ring on the power unit.
Then turn ring clockwise to engage threads on the
bottom of the tool holder. Tighten locking ring to
fully secure the tool holder.
NOTE
i
When tool holder is properly installed, the locking
ring should be butted against the stop ring, and
threads of the tool holder should not be visible. If
not properly installed, check that correct
combination of cam and tool holder is used and
that they are aligned properly.
6. Rotate the tool holder one full turn in each
direction and note that the power unit locking ring
rotates with the tool holder.
DANGER ^{To avoid personal injury, periodically check that}
locking ring is tightly securing the tool holder.
DANGER
After installation, ALWAYS ensure that the tool
holder pivot pins are fully tightened to avoid
personal injury or damage to the tool.
4. CRIMP HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The tool holder features an adjustable eccentric and a
ratchet mechanism with a range of settings. The
position of the pawl ensures that the tool completes
the cycle. The eccentric controls the amount of cam
pressure exerted on the crimping dies during the
crimping procedure. Although the ratchet is preset
prior to shipment, it is important that you verify the
crimp height. Also, general use and subsequent wear
may cause the tool to go out of adjustment. It is
recommended that the crimp height be inspected, and
adjusted, if necessary, on a regular basis by quality
control personnel.
1. Connect pneumatic tooling to an adequate air
supply between 620--690 kPa [90--100 psi]. For
specific information on air line requirements and air
hose installation, refer to the instructions packaged
with the pneumatic tooling assembly.
2. Place a contact in the crimp nest and place a
properly prepared wire of the correct size into the
wire barrel.
3. Place a .025--mm [.001--in.] shim between the
crimping dies where the dies bottom against each
other.
