Wire Crimper
Figure 3
The wire crimper is located by two pins on the ram
assembly and is held by the crimper bolt. The
insulation crimper and the front shear depressor are
also held by the crimper bolt. The insulation crimper is
free to move up and down so the insulation crimp can
be changed. The front shear depressor pushes the
front floating shear down to cut the crimped terminal
from the strip.
The hold–down bumper is attached to the ram and
holds the terminal in place during the crimping and
shearing process. (Note: Some applicators have a
solid metal hold–down that may require adjustment
when changing the wire size and/or crimp height.)
Terminals with dual carrier strips require a rear shear
depressor, spacer, and shear holder. These parts are
attached to the feed cam side of the ram assembly.
The rear shear depressor pushes the rear floating
shear down to cut the terminal from the rear carrier
strip, and the terminal holder keeps the terminal from
raising during the crimping and shearing process. The
rear floating shear and rear shear holder are mounted
on the base plate.
The applicator’s mounting surface is its base plate.
The anvil, the front shear holder, the rear shear holder
(if used), the terminal support, the strip guide
assembly, and the applicator housing are mounted on
the base plate. The stock drag and the front and rear
strip guides are mounted on the strip guide assembly.
This applicator can be used in terminating machines
which have either a 30mm or 40mm feed stroke. The
position of the feed cam must be changed to
accommodate the terminating machine being used.
See the applicator log drawing (shipped with the
applicator) for the proper position of the cam (either
post–feed or pre–feed).
NOTE
i
Consult applicator log when adjusting the position
of the cam
