Heavy Duty Industrial (HD-I) Side-Feed Type Applicator
408-8322
10. Hand–cycle the machine several times to
make sure the applicator is properly adjusted as
described in Section 5.
11. Re–install applicator/terminator guard
assembly.
4.2. Terminal Strip Unloading
1. Cut terminal strip one or two terminals from end
of applicator.
NOTE
i
Applicator should never be unloaded
unnecessarily. A section of terminal strip should
always be left in the unit. Since it is not
necessary to remove strip section for cleaning,
lubrication, or repair, it should only be removed
as a part of the loading procedure.
2. If terminals are post–fed, turn drag release lever
upward to raise stock drag, lift the feed pawl, and
move the lead terminal over the anvil.
4.3. Terminal Lubrication
NOTE
i
HD-I applicators are not supplied with terminal
lubricators.
Some terminal strips require the use of a terminal
lubricant. Wick–type lubricators apply lubricant to the
terminal strip as it feeds into the applicator. Terminal
lubricants reduce tooling wear and help reduce
damage to the plating on some terminals.
CAUTION
!
Depending on the final use of the crimped
terminal, terminal lubricators are not always
recommended. To determine if your applications
warrant the use of a terminal lubricator, contact
your local field representative.
If your application warrants the use of a terminal
lubricator, the recommended lubricant is Stoner
Mechanical Lubricant E805, available from:
STONER, INC.

5. ADJUSTMENTS
5.1. Feed Cam Adjustment
All side–feed applicators are setup at the factory to
meet the customer’s stroke requirements. Use the
following procedure to convert the applicator from
30mm to 40mm stroke, or from 40mm to 30mm
stroke.
DANGER
To avoid personal injury, be sure power to
machine is turned off" and power cord is
disconnected before taking the applicator out of
the machine. The machine ram should be in the
raised position.
1. Remove the applicator from the terminating unit.
2. Remove the applicator ram from the applicator
frame by pulling it straight out of the applicator.
NOTE
i
It may be necessary to manually actuate the feed
mechanism to free the ram from the frame.
3. Remove the screw securing the cam.
4. Locate the feed cam on the ram. See Figure 4.
CAUTION
!
Improper positioning of the cam in the applicator
can cause serious damage to the applicator, the
terminating machine or both. Hand-cycle the
machine prior to running under power to ensure
that there are no mechanical interferences.
5.2. Wire Crimp Adjustment
1. Select pad letter (A, B, C, or D) from data plate
for wire size to be used.
2. Turn wire disk (upper disk) to line up selected
pad letter with the bosses on the machine ram (or
ram post adapter). See Figure 3. This provides the
right crimp height for that wire size.
3. After making wire crimp adjustment described in
Paragraph 5.2, make several test cycles and
inspect terminations closely.
a. Look for rough or sharp edges around
crimped barrels (flash), deformed crimps, bent
terminals, or other defects caused by worn or
broken tooling. If necessary, replace tooling as
described in Section 7, REPAIR AND
REPLACEMENT OF PARTS.
b. If terminations appear normal, measure crimp
height of each termination. Crimp height must
agree with measurement specified on parts list
for wire size being used. Record crimp height
dimensions for reference.
NOTE
i
Refer to 408-7424 for information concerning
crimp height measurement.
