5. ADJUSTMENT
DANGER
To avoid personal injury, be very careful of moving
mechanisms when making adjustments while the
STOP terminating machine is "on."
NOTE
i
Set precision adjust to tightest setting (-9).
NOTE
i
This adjustment should be made only by qualified
personnel under the guidance of Tyco Electronics.
1. Jog the machine ram down until the ram is in the
bottom-dead-center position.
2. Check the Crimp Quality Monitor SENSORS
DIAGNOSTICS screen for a height reading of 900
to 1100. If the monitor screen does not indicate 900
to 1100, adjust as follows:
a. Remove the two screws securing the sensor
cover.
b. Loosen the two screws securing the sensor.
c. Watching the monitor diagnostics sensor
screen, move the sensor "up" to decrease the
position sensor reading; "down" to increase the
position sensor reading until the position
sensor reading is between 900 and 1100.
d. Tighten the screws securing the sensor.
e. Replace the cover and secure it with the two
screws removed earlier.
3. Return the machine ram to the top-dead-center
position.
4. Re-adjust precision adjust to .00 mm [.000 in.].
6. INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE
6.1. Daily Inspection/Maintenance
It is recommended that each operator be made aware
of and responsible for the following daily maintenance
steps.
1. Check the position sensor reading (Crimp Quality
Monitor SENSORS DIAGNOSTICS menu) to be
sure that the position sensor reading is in the proper
range. Adjust, if necessary according to Section 5,
ADJUSTMENT.
2. Inspect all wiring for any damaged cables or
unmated connectors.
3. Clean all crimping areas in accordance with the
instructions for the Heavy Duty Miniature Applicator.
4. Ensure that the applicator that is mounted in the
terminating machine is held securely by both the
base plate and the applicator ram lock.
6.2. Periodic Inspection/Maintenance
Regular inspection should be performed by Quality
Control personnel. A record of scheduled inspections
should remain with the CQM system and/or be
supplied to supervisory personnel responsible for the
system. Though recommendations call for at least one
inspection a month, the inspection frequency should
be based on the amount of use, working conditions,
operator training and skill, and established company
standards. These inspections should be performed in
the following sequence.
1. Make sure all screws, cables, and connectors are
in place.
2. Check all parts for wear. Remove and replace
worn components.
3. Inspect the crimp area for flattened, cracked,
worn, or broken areas. If damage is evident, the
tooling must be repaired before returning it to
service. Refer to the terminating machine and
applicator instructions.
7. REPAIR/REPLACEMENT
CAUTION
!
Do not remove or perform any maintenance on
components not explicitly called for in this
instruction sheet. Damage could be done to the
entire Crimp Quality Monitor system.
7.1. Troubleshooting/Repair of Sensor Wiring
The Crimp Quality Monitor requires continuous
electrical flow through the force and position sensors
on the terminating machine in order to acquire the
necessary data points to analyze a crimp. If the
electrical path is broken by a damaged connector or
wire, the monitor will not be able to analyze the data in
order to calibrate or report the crimp status.
NOTE
i
The following error messages could indicate a
broken electrical path:
• "NOT ENOUGH VALID POINTS" (Calibrate
Mode)
• "INVALID CRIMP" (Run Mode)
To check the sensor wiring, proceed as follows:
1. Select DIAGNOSTICS from the Crimp Quality
Monitor main menu.
2. Select 2-SENSORS from the DIAGNOSTICS
menu.
3. Using the terminating machine's Jog Mode, crimp
a terminal without wire, and observe the FORCE
and POSITION readings.
