409-10029 Datasheet, PDF (26/31 Pages) Tyco Electronics – When reading this manual, pay particular attention to DANGER, CAUTION, and NOTE statements.

Stripping Module 1490503-[ ] and 1490501-[ ]
409-10029
S Increase the pressure by pulling the lock knob away from the machine and turning the knob
clockwise. Push the lock knob back toward the machine after adjustment.
S Decrease the pressure by pulling the lock knob away from the machine and turning the knob
counterclockwise. Push the lock knob back toward the machine after adjustment.
CAUTION
!
If the pressure is set too low, the wire may be pulled through the grip jaws during the pull back motion causing wire
damage. If this occurs, increase the gripper pressure until the insulation is pulled off the wire properly.
7.5. Tonk Adjustment
The tonk adjustment is required to make sure that the wire is level between the terminal and gripper jaws
during the crimping operation.
1. Turn “off” power to the terminating machine and the stripping module.
2. Open the main guard.
3. Push the transfer sub–assembly (Figure 13) along with the stripping subassembly (Figure 12) to the
right–side position.
4. Insert a pre–stripped wire through the griper jaws into the approximate location required for wire
stripping.
5. Manually close the upper gripper jaw onto the wire.
6. Remove the protective cover from the rear of the Model “G” Terminating Machine. Then use a
wrench to lower the machine ram to its lowest point.
7. Make sure the wire is sitting in the terminal crimp barrel.
8. If the wire is not in the correct position, loosen the T–handle on the tonk block (Figure 3) and turn the
locknut on tonk rod from left–to–right to lower the wire; turn the locknut on tonk rod from right–to–left to
raise the wire.
9. Tighten the T–handle on the tonk block.
10. Return the terminating machine ram to the top position and re–install the protective cover at the rear
of the machine.
7.6. Strip Cam Speed Adjustment (Figure 12)
The strip cam speed may need to be adjusted (slowed) if the gripper pressure is lowered enough to slow the
grip cylinder.
Adjust the strip cylinder speed by turning the flow control knob on the side of the strip air cylinder. Turn the
knob clockwise to slow the cylinder speed; turn the knob counterclockwise to increase the cylinder speed.
7.7. Start Sensor Gap Adjustment
If the start sensor lever gap becomes too small, the start sensor may not operate properly. Errors (such as
Error 13 –– Wire sensor is bad or stuck in the “down” position) may occur. Refer to Figure 10 for a listing of
errors.
Using the et screw on the back side of the start sensor assembly, adjust the start sensor lever gap to achieve a
.25mm [.010 in.] gap between the printed circuit board and the lever. See Figure 14.
Turn the set screw clockwise to increase the gap; counterclockwise to decrease the gap.
