5.3. Periodic Inspection
Figure 3
Proceed as follows:
Regular inspections should be performed by quality
control personnel. A record of scheduled inspections
should remain with the dies or be made available to su-
pervisory personnel responsible for the the dies.
Though recommendations call for at least a monthly in-
spection, the inspection frequency should be based
upon the amount of use, working conditions, operator
training and skill, and established company standards.
These inspections should be performed in the following
sequence:
1. Mate the dies until it is evident that they have
bottomed. Hold the dies in this position.
CAUTION
Do not place dies under pressure at any time.
!
2. Align the GO element with the wire barrel
crimping chamber. Push the element straight into
the crimping chamber without using force. The GO
element must pass completely through the
crimping chamber.
A. Visual Inspection (Figure 4)
Broken
1. Remove all lubrication and accumulated film by
immersing the dies in a suitable degreaser that will
not affect paint or plastic material.
Pitted
2. Check all surfaces for wear. Inspect the crimp
area for flattened, chipped, cracked, worn, or
broken areas. See Figure 4. If damage is evident,
the die must be replaced. .
Chipped
B. Gaging the Crimping Chamber (Figure 5 & Figure 6)
This inspection requires the use of a plug gage conform-
ing to the dimensions in Figure 5. Tyco Electronics does
not manufacture or market these gages.
