Using Shut-Height Gage 679655-[ ]
408-8535
4. PREPARATION
1. Allow Shut–Height Gage 679655–[ ] to
normalize to room temperature. A minimum of 40
minutes is recommended if the temperature
difference is greater than 22_C [40_F].
2. With a clean, lint–free cloth, wipe the top and
bottom of shut–height gage and the mating
surfaces (i.e., ram adapter and base plate) in the
terminator.
3. Gently wipe Contact Support 1490476–1 and
Modified Tip Indicator 679001–1.
4. Place the shut–height gage in the terminating
machine and (where applicable) clamp it into place.
5. READING THE DIAL INDICATOR (Figure 1)
S The distance between the division marks
(pointed to by the long indicator hand) equals
.0001 inches.
S The distance between the numbers (pointed to
by the revolution counter) equals .001 inches.
S If the long indicator hand is within +/– .001
inches of “0” and the revolution counter is
closer to “0” than to any other number, the
terminating machine shut height is within
tolerance
S If the long indicator hand is on the negative
side of “0,” the terminator ram should be
shimmed (or adjusted down) by the amount
shown.
S If the long indicator hand is on the positive side
of “0,” then the terminator ram should be
adjusted up, or have that amount of shims
removed.
2. Manually cycle the terminating machine (in the
same direction as Step 1) and record the
shut–height gage reading. Repeat as necessary.
CAUTION
!
For accuracy, BE SURE to manually cycle the
machine in the same direction as normal
operation.
NOTE
i
It is NOT necessary to wait one minute between
readings. However, the speed of rotation must be
slow, smooth, and consistent. Otherwise, the
indicator on the gage may overshoot the actual
reading.
3. Remove the shut–height gage and adjust the
machine shut height as necessary. Adjust the shut
height up or down, as described in Section 5.
4. After adjusting the shut height, connect the
machine power and cycle the machine under load
for a minimum of 500 cycles before re–verifying the
shut height.
7. MAINTENANCE
Shut–Height Gage 679655–[ ] should be periodically
wiped with a light oil or a rust preventative to retard
rust.
Do not break any calibration seals or disassemble any
part of the shut–height gage. There are no customer
serviceable components. If the shut–height gage is
disturbed, it must be returned to Tyco Electronics for
repair and re–calibration. See Section 8.
Store Shut–Height Gage 679655–[ ] in a dry location,
isolated from vibrations and severe temperature
cycles.
6. OPERATION
DANGER
To avoid personal injury, be sure to turn off the
terminating machine and disconnect the power
before continuing.
1. Manually cycle the terminating machine (as
described in the applicable machine manual) three
or four times in the normal operating direction until
the gage settles to a consistent value. Disregard
the first few reads.
NOTE
i
It is recommended that TWO people check the
shut height. One person should read the
shut-height gage (see Section 5) while the other
manually cycles the terminating machine.
NOTE
i
It is recommended that a 3/4-inch socket wrench
with a breaker bar be used to manually cycle the
Model G" Terminating Machine.
